I have just decided that I am technically misplaced in time and it is my own not-dumb-enough fault. If I were like most of the people in my generation my son would have had to have learned more about computers out of self-defense. But no, I had to be leading edge. I had to do computer driven animatronics with synthetic speech and phoneme activated lip/muscle slave response way back in 1981.
Not only have I done damage to myself and distanced myself from my whole generation, I have done damage to my son who should by all rights be the computer guru in the house fighting this virus right now while I stand around asking stupid questions about RAM and ROM and saying things like maybe if we just reboot one more time?.
I know it is still there. It turned off my virus protection and firewall software on the way past my defenses and I am still getting a floppy disk(s) fail (40) message at bootup. The root virus protection was turned off in CMOS. It`s still in there. The little spyware infections I have stamped out are just smokescreen. I know it is still in there but I can`t find it.
I am sorry Tobias, my son; I have damaged your computer skills development by being too self-sufficient. Right now you don`t know how sorry I really am.

Larry,
Sorry to hear about your virus problems. Here is the blog entry I sent for yesterday. Use it as you will. Friz Freleng's 100th B-Day!The great Looney Tunes Director Isadore "Friz" Freleng was born in Kansas City 100 years ago Aug 21st . Friz (not Fritz) was one of the earliest Disney animators, who came out to LA with Walt in 1923.
He left Disney in 1929 ("too much politics" he said)and helped start the Leon Schlesinger Studio that were going to make Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies for Warner Bros. Friz became one of the great Warner Bros directors. Back Alley Op-Roar, Buccaneer Bugs, Miss Glory, the 3D cartoon Lumberjack Rabbit, and many more. His at times bad temper and short stature were lampooned in the creation of the character Yosemite Sam. The foot stomping "ooooooohhhhh!!" was reportedly inspired from one of Friz's meltdowns. He not only could take a joke, he took the character and made it a standard in his repertoire.
By 1964 when it seemed Warners wanted out of the animation business Friz took the crew and formed DePatie-Freleng. There he created the Pink Panther character among many other shows. He died in 1995 at age 89. A skillful office diplomat and businessman, He once told me "Never tell people what you really think until you are 89 or a millionaire". He became both. Happy Birthday Friz!

My time has been raped by some sick pig and my mind keeps saying, in crime writer fashion, follow the money. Who benifits from this. Who makes money off of computer viruses? Is it high tech blackmail? No it couldn`t be our paid anti-virus heroes?
