Up To Speed, Once Again

Photo From Here - NSFW

Things are back up to speed on the computer once again. It took the IT guy about an hour to straighten everything out and take a few steps to insure it wouldn't happen again. Someone hacked in and was able to buy a ticket to Caracas with our credit card and that's about when the computer started having issues, so I assume the two are related. The credit card company noticed the charge on the card before any damage was done but we did have to close out the account and get new cards. It would be nice if they voided the ticket out in time so the thief would be left standing at the boarding gate watching the plane taxi away while the cops were putting the cuffs on him. You'd think buying airplane tickets with a hacked credit card would be rather risky. However, this was about the time the demonstrations in Caracas were making front page news. Someone must have had a pretty strong desire to join in if they were willing to take the risk. My idea of risk taking is more like the guys in the photo. 

I'm on spring break next week, so I'm hoping to get a little something done around here. Not so sure the weather's going to co-operate, however. I was out early yesterday and shoveled off the little bit of snow that was on the sidewalk and driveway by where we park so the sun could get everything dried off. Everything was dry like a popcorn fart about noon but it's snow covered again this morning. This is definitely starting to get old but better days are coming.

That's it for now. Have a good weekend and don't forget to set the clocks ahead.
