Shorts

I can’t go to YouTube at all anymore from my work computer, and all embedded videos have been blocked. Why? Because of a “virus” that hit last week involving embedded YouTube videos. Except that it wasn’t a virus at all. It was a problem with Computer Associates various anti-virus products that was incorrectly identifying certain files within embedded videos as malware when they were not.

So there will be fewer embedded videos on this blog now. Thanks Computer Associates. I wonder if Google could sue them for libel.

Well, that’s Illinois politics for you.

In 1789, the governor of Australia granted land and some animals to James Ruse in an experiment to see how long it would take him to support himself. Within 15 months he had become self sufficient. The area is still known as Experiment Farm. This is my Experiment Farm to see how long it will take me to support myself by writing.
