Hello everyone, I am sure most of you use some form of SatNav, they have become almost essential these days. I know some people think they are the spawn of the devil but they really do assist those who have the joy of the M25 etc.

AntiSpyware

Free antispyware software at last. Has free, automatic updates and realtime protection.

Spyware Terminator

Please help me choose a phone. :)

Hello all, I need some good advice over in the forums...see my post imaginatively called "PHONES" :)

Intersting...

I notice I still get quite a few visits to this site on a daily basis but it would appear that people no longer bother logging in. It's a shame really, I like to look at the last 5 users list to gauge what sort of interest there still is with this site.

If you are still visiting and have login details, please log in and make yourself known again! Maybe, just maybe, we can get some more items on here again! :)

Spyware Removal programs for free.

Furthur to my previous article I have been looking for more anti-spyware products that come highly recommended and, more importantly, are free. I have another two links for you...

AntiSpyware 2008 can be found at http://www.antispyware.com/. I haven't yet tried it out but it should be compatible with Vista and the write-up on the website seems impressive. I'll have to give it a testing to see how it performs. I'll let you know when I do. :)

*** update *** I have now tested the above program! The website leads you to believe that the software is free... it is not! It scans your system for free and to eliminate the threats it finds it asks you to register. You fill in a couple of details and then it takes you to their page requesting a one time payment... so, not free as it suggests.

Super Antispyware may be found at http://antispyware.org/. I have installed this once and it is currently running on my daughter's computer. It seemed pretty quick and effective, and it auto-updates it's spyware definitions.

Spyware.

Came across a new Spyware detector which is deemed to be very good at it's job. Only trouble is that it doesn't support Vista!

Anyway, if you'd like to take a look then here's the link.

Oh yes, reason for mentioning it is that it is free! Makes a change as nearly everything seems to cost something nowadays. If you try it let everyone know how you get on in the comments. :)

Op!

Just thought I'd let you all know that I've now had the operation on my knee that I've been waiting for for so long. I had an arthroscopy carried out and the surgeon found a torn meniscus which he removed. I left the hospital an hour or so after the operation was completed and managed to carefully walk back to the car, which I wasn't driving! (Thanks, Helen!)

I'm currently sitting on the settee with my feet up. :)

Don't think I'll be training for a while now... but I don't expect you'll notice the difference anyway! :D

Hello!

Hello everyone! I can't believe that people still visit my site when I've not written anything on it for so long!

Anyway, sorry about that. A lot of things have happened over the last year...

I finally managed to attain my black belt in aikido, and I still go, but not on such a regular basis. I really should go more often! I coach aikido too now! If you fancy coming along to a session visit Cinque Ports Aikido website, find out a bit more, and come along and join in. You never know, you might just like it.

I've put on a bit of weight again... damn food, I gave up the beer and crisp diet and have put on weight ever since. :(

I no longer reside in Folkestone! I met a really nice girl last year and am now living with her in Dover. My old phone line has gone; so, don't ring it, it's not there! :)

The server is still online as I moved all my computer equipment to my new address.

There's probably a whole lot more stuff I should write about but I won't for the moment. I thought I would just let you all know that I am still alive and well... and happy. :)

Merry Christmas

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and wishing you all a Happy New Year.
