Comodo Firewall & AntiVirus to the rescue

Awhile ago I made a post about the Comodo Backup program that I use on my home computer. The program is working out really well. It does backups according to the schedule I set several months ago, and is still going strong.

More recently I had several issues with my computer and viruses. I routinely have relied on Grisoft's AVG. It worked as well as any other program out there. But it did very little to keep me from getting this recurring virus that had infiltrated my computer. It got rid of the symptoms, while not coming close to eradicating the true source of the problem.

Then, Comodo came to my rescue with a "Free Firewall and AntiVirus software" program that works "together to keep your PC safe from malicious software and Hackers"

Please check them out at www.personalfirewall.comodo.com

I have nothing but good things to say about this program. It is so worth it. And it is free!

Of course being a firewall program, it takes time to train it allow your regular programs access the internet. But after a few hours the bulk of your items will be on the safe list. Work with it for a week, and you will have very few pop ups.

Wii Bowling

If only I could bowl in real life as well as I can bowl on the Wii. That would be fantastic! Yes, a total of 6 strikes in this game.

Or better yet, check out this amazing new, high record! You counted it right, a string of 8 strikes in a row. And no open frames. Not only did I get the turkey, but I also got the infamous SIX PACK!!

Now you all know what I've been practicing on in my spare time when I am not at work. The secret is out of the bag.

Remembering... HBO

Just as one thought leads to another, I began a journey the other day that some how led me back to remembering when my family first began watching Home Box Office. I began to think back to how we use to scramble to get in place with our dinner to sit in front of the television to watch a movie. Sitting in the living room alone was a very special treat since my sister and I were usually confined to sitting at the dull, boring kitchen table. We could not talk while we ate dinner. We could not get up from the table until all of our food was gone. So it was certainly a very special treat to be allowed in the living room. It was a priviledge to watch tv while we ate. And to top it all off, it was a slice of heaven on earth to get to watch a movie on HBO while eating in the living room in front of the tv.

But the thing I remember the most of all of this was the opening for HBO's movies. Their logo and the way they presented the feature presentation got my so excited and pumped before the movie. It really didn't matter if the movie sucked big time. The opening was thrill maker..

In a side blurb about HBO, when I did a little bit of wikipedia surfing, I came across this interesting bit o' info:
In 1983 The Terry Fox Story premiered: HBO's first original movie and the first made-for-pay-TV movie. That year was also the premiere of the first kids' show to be broadcast on the channel—Fraggle Rock.

Not that it really means much to anyone, but in my family, we were (and still are) big Fraggle Rock fans. So wihtout further ado, this is a video for my sister, dedicated to my mom and hopefully will be enjoyed by my good friends and blog visitors.
