Woohoo, done, went and bought boxes, now it's time to pack. I have Andrew's van tomorrow morning and have to get everything down to the storage place then.

I don't think I ever posted about this, but my dad's laptop (replacement for my broken laptop with the dead hard drive, reason number 802,237 not to buy a HP machine) got hacked within 3 hours of being hooked up to the ethernet. The funny thing is that for once I was running the computer with a firewall. This computer was far more secure than the laptop I ran Windows ME on for a year, and I even unhooked it from the network at night. But anyway, sucks. I can't hook it back up to the network until the hard drive got reformatted, and my father has stuff on there that needs to not get erased. So I have a laptop that works fine, but with no internet access. So I'm doing all that stuff from the Blackstone computer lab and it's a pain.

Yeah. Not sure why people from NIPR.mil (also read here and here) and the USMC have been reading my blog. I'll make the assumption that it's just bored workers on their lunch break or something, since I think at least one linked from the Blogger home page and it hasn't really been acting like a bot. It's still a bit disconcerting.
