mikeknMore general update stuff.
Got to shoot some archery last week. Hopefully I'll be able to make most of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
singewulf's practices (although the Sunday ones will be tricky).
Went to my first demo of the season - wasn't as prepared as I could have been, but the demo went just fine. I've got two more that I'm coordinating in the next week, and then a bunch that I offered to help out with after that.
Friday I spent most of the afternoon and evening helping my mom with her website and computer. The computer was sluggish and we were worried about spyware or a virus. Turned out that when she updated one of her spyware scanners she got tricked into loading another one as well. It's a real detection program (as opposed to being spy or adware itself), but it has a realtime component that just sucked down the processor. We removed that, updated all the others and ran the scans - everything was clean. For her website, I'm trying to keep her from using Frontpage...so far I'm winning the battle, but HTML editing is really not her thing and she's had some training with Frontpage. I think my main (only?) point of leverage is that I won't support anything done in Frontpage.
Saturday we did our daytrip up to Landsknecht - good time (even if I spent much of it in classes or meetings). Didn't spot the archery field (didn't look very hard) so I didn't shoot any. Got to see and chat with lots of folks, so that was very cool. I'm thinking we should really camp for War Camp next month.
Sunday we went to a friends baby shower (yes, another baby shower). Got to meet several people I've seen only though LJ (*wave*). Very cool and fun folks. :) Hopefully I'll be able to visit them a little during Pennsic.
And then there's Monday. What a waste of a day. Maybe I can make it up tonight. I seem to have a free evening. Actually I seem to have three of them in a row. Anyone want to take bets on whether I get stuff done or just goof off each night?
