5/31 - As you may have noticed,
this web site was down most of the week. Sorry about that, our ISP, Open.org took
longer than anticipated to migrate to their new servers. Within a few days this website
will be moving to a commercial web host, and, if I do my job right, you won't notice a
thing, except, possibly, some faster page loads. Actually, if you're reading this message
it means we're already on the new web host - whoop, whoop !!

1/3 - Been getting virus infected emails lately? - you
shouldn't always blame the person that sent you the email, because maybe they didn't. A
common virus "Klez", is kinda sneaky, it looks at the infected host's address
book, sends infected emails, and randomly chooses the sender's name from the same list,
thus hiding the source of the email. If you're hooked into the internet, please do
your friends a service and buy a virus protection program, and keep it updated.
Also make sure you keep your Windows patches up to date, as many of them correct newly
found security flaws. More
