April Fool virus

April 1st comes and goes, thus far no harms done to my computer. Anyway just for precaution the computer was shutdown for the whole day yesterday.

Would changing the computer's date fool the virus?

Conficker worm plays no tricks on April Fools' Day

When I want to sign in my yahoo mail, on the left hand side of the sign in box there was a link to download Internet Explorer 8. Yahoo mail works better with IE8 said yahoo. After giving some thought I decided to download IE8. Then starts my 2 hour journey around this creature IE8, for this browser got annoying yahoo toolbar at the top. Later I discovered that I can't type in my sign in name on the yahoo sign in box. So with gmail and any other boxes in the website that I tried too. Though I have removed this new IE8 through the add/remove programs function still the IE8 browser is not removed.

In the end I resorted to install IE8 from firefox browser direct from micrsoft.com website.This time this is not a windows internet explorer provided by yahoo. It works. Still it's a journey with anxiety and time wasted. From the wikipedia I learned that IE8 is very new browser though the beta version has been around for some times. There is still another annoying this I have to live with it for quite awhile. It seems that the IE8 is not friendly with some of the add-ons that I have inside my computer.

Australia wildfires

Australia wildfires, or firestorm.
The picture from Sydney Morning Herald speaks a thousand words.

Fuel.
The third and only controllable factor in this deadly triangle is fuel: the dead leaves, pieces of bark and grass that become the gas that feeds the 50m high flames that roar through the bush with the sound of jet engines.
