The Simpsons Are Going To England!

Well if you stumbled across this post because you were looking for the Simpsons TV show episode where Bart finds Mr. Burns’ $1000 bill, then they decide to go to England on vacation (which by the way is called The Regina Monologues) this isn’t it… sorry about your luck.

Karla and I are heading to the UK, and we are pretty dang excited about it. Neither of us has ever been to Europe before and we’re going for nearly three weeks and plan to see everything we possibly can see during our stay.

My sister moved to England about 3 months ago for a job opportunity, and since this is technically her first holiday season away from the family and on her own, I thought it would be a nice time to jump over the pond and pay her a visit. While we are there I plan to visit a few clients and colleagues as well, which I’ve previously never met in person before so that will be a nice adventure.

I plan to take copious amounts of pictures on my Canon Rebel XT while I’m there as well (Sidenote: On a new 4GB compact flash card that I just bought for $102.00CAD from TigerDirect… can you believe it? 4GB’s for $100! That’s sick… I paid more then that for my 64MB SD not too long ago) so prepare for a new vacations section in my photo album 🙂

If you know of any “must see” places… please feel free to suggest them. We have no solid plans at this point, but are just planning to travel as much as possible and take in everything we can.

Recent Spam Influx

If your inbox is at all like mine, you have all-of-a-sudden started to receive a heck of a lot more spam than you are used to in the past month or so. Have no fear, you are not alone. The Internet has recently experienced a large influx of spam e-mail thanks to Russian hackers who control a network of hacked PC’s some 70,000 computers strong.

I don’t normally post these messages; however, this affects so many people I want to make sure you are all aware of it. Please read the following article by eWeek for more information: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2060235,00.asp

A final note: Windows users… does your computer have the “SpamThru” trojan?
