I'm running some spyware scans because I have these popups from Adtomi and etightstrings.net that are driving me totally berserk. The scans always find them, I delete them, and after I restart, they somehow manage to rise from the ashes. Like starfish that will grow a new arm if one is amputated, these things grow a new .dll or registry entry or something, and resurrect themselves, stronger than before. Urgh. Look, if I want party poker, I'll find YOU, okay? Leave me alone!!

Anyway, I was updating the spyware database on Spyware Blaster (basically just a blocking tool, it doesn't actually remove anything) and as usual, it gave me a progress bar with a download rate and time remaining below it.

That's good to know, because if my download rate drops below 267.903930664062 bytes/sec, I terminate the file transfer. I just don't have that kind of time.

Also, I hate dialup. HAAAAATE.

And finally, lookie what I have! A Family Guy font! Thanks to Katrina, who has seemingly dropped off the face of the earth. :-)
