My Avira Free (but great) antivirus yelped when I tried to access a CD i'd recently created. It seems one of files on the CD, an executable freeware "neosetupfull262.exe" had a malware identified by signature TR/BHO.FlySwat.2. The file sets up Neoplanet browser. Why need any fringe browser with goodies such as Firefox and Chrome available at no cost? There is a reason - to discourage persons who go about prowling what is in my History, where I've been surfing: such nosey won't be looking for NP as a browser.
It would be safe as long as I didn't use the executable somewhere. But someone else might, and there goes flyswat and all the evil associated with it. What would you do? This is what I did:
I copied the contents of the CD except the infected file on the hard drive: no space problem, I have a half-terra external to my disposal. Next I had to put the CD to end of life. Did this by inserting it in a newspaper and snapped it. doing it with bare hands might harm, as a thousand shrapnels of incredible sharpness get formed when it gives-you don't want one of these to lodge into your cornea.

This blogger, me
It's quite some time since I posted, and prior to that I was mostly relaying bits of news, verbatim, read here and there. I also really moaned the passing of Michael Jackson--I am still.
Recent addition to my blog has been a sidebar with my tweets (which also post on my Facebook)--easlily kept up with because I post from my mobile.
For my age, qualifications and standing, more should be expected of my blog. Some while ago I spoke of launching an e-zine here on the blog or elsewhere. That good intention is still there, the delay is likely because of the fast-changing landscape of my dear subject, Information Technology.
Many things are happening around me that could contribute to even multiple posts per day. I've set myself a target of posting weekly in the least.
Although photo blogs are growing popular around here, photos should be on my Facebook and Flickr (while yahoo leaves it on--been shutting services lately) profiles.I prefer being analytical within a variety of subjects that includes engineering, design, wood, metals, health, hiv/aids, CMS, SMEs, knowledge management, electronic marketing, market research, education, research and many others.
My target is to maintain posting habit of content that gets appreciated by peers and other professionals: when I make it to the pinacle noticeable on technorati and such other metering services.
