Mike Healan, Editor of Spyware Weekly wrote an article last month titled, "iDownload Threatens Lawsuits To Silence Critics" and went on to say, "iSearch is malware. This is easily demonstrated. Any sane jury would agree once they see the demonstration. Simply put, I have more than enough resources to fight a frivolous lawsuit. I have more than enough evidence to win a lawsuit. If iDownload wants to challenge my statements in court, the mailing address is PO Box 2378, Reidsville, GA USA 30453."* I say, "Go Mike!!"

Well, after an interesting fiasco with both Comcast and Verizon last week, I am finally back online...and no thanks to either of them. However, those stories will have to wait for another day. In order to prove I'm still alive, I gotta post something.
mejayroberts, physician and c4cbill all recommend Google's Picasa, so I added a link to it on Software Help.
Added a post from Jim Locker with detailed instructions on how to use Knoppix to image a hard drive.
So, for the first real entry for 2005, we have a post from mejay mentioning the new FireFox TinyURL Creator. Thanks mejay!
What's new for 2005? Well, when I wake up, I'll let you know (...HAHaha...I'm so funny, I crack me up...). 2005 is off to a running start for us (...actually last year hasn't fully stopped yet...), but we have survived 2004. Or so I've been told by the DW and she's always right (...unless she can't hear me, then I might actually have a chance of being right...).
New Year's Eve was celebrated with fireworks, booze, and BBQ (...and in no particular order either mind you...) and the bail money we set aside was never even needed. <whisper>Y'all don't say nuthin' to Mrs. Wiley about this 'cause y'all know what she'll do to me if'n ya does.</whisper>
I'm updating all my web sites, adding some new scripts to make editing of said web sites easier for me, and have five computers sitting here beside me needing my attention, and things are finally slowing down. What an interesting holiday season we had this past year.
And, as always, I'm probably in trouble with Mrs. Wiley again because I was supposed to post an update last week and I don't think that ever happened. <waving>Hi Mrs. Wiley! I just posted an update.</waving>
with questions or comments about this web site.
