Breakfast: egg and sausage english muffin sandwich. The 8:43 Bus 66 this morning was 6 minutes late and stopped to pick up passengers at least 5 feet from the curb. More web page updates. Helped Joel with a Palm synching problem and updated iTunes. Updated display names in ADUC for students who have names similar to other people. Helped a student with a possible virus: gjoocb.exe, which looked suspicious to me. She said that Norton Internet Security 2005 found a virus but could not remove it. I restarted in safe mode. Nortin Internet Security would not start—an error message would appear. I ran Stinger from CD-ROM instead. Found other baddies: mc-110-12-0000080.exe, lisyxc.exe. Helped another student with a laptop. Today I received the replacement for the Samsung hard drive I sent back for repair/replacement to NewEgg.com. I'm very impressed. The return took only 9 days and newegg kept me informed via e-mail every step of the way. I was worried that I would have to be charged for not returning it with all the original packaging, but it appears I haven't been charged. Cancelled Sushi Night 002 due to low attendance and illness. I started getting a sore throat today and Patrick has been sick for a few days. I guess we'll be staying in this weekend feeling miserable. Shopped for rental cars. Baked pumpkin bread.
