One interesting thing I learned this week was the existence of an Internet Explorer toolbar program called Xupiter, which basically takes over your web browser and to some extent, your entire computer. I found an article on it on wired.com tonight and found the following quote amusing:
“When I find the bastards who programmed this thing I’d be happy to castrate them with a pair of dull pinking shears,” fumed one of Xupiter’s many unhappy victims in a newsgroup posting.

Remind me not to piss that guy off … I’d like to father children someday.

I get to cut wood tomorrow. Should be interesting … weather is supposed to be warm enough for things to get messy. I’ll probably have to wash my truck when I get back. Hopefully there’s enough traction I can pull a trailer full of wood out of the fields. If not, then I guess I’ll likely have fun trying! :)
