My Livejournal paid account expires today. My Norton Antivirus abonment died yesterday. Between this and Catie's project, I think the mighty gods of Synchronicity are telling me I should get myself a credit card accepted by most ways of paying things online really, really soon.

Do most banks also close awfully early (say, at 5 pm on saturday and 6 pm on week days) in other countries as well ? Makes things awfully difficult to care for when you work.

In more happy subject, I'm going to the Utopiales for this long week end, which is THE Science Fiction con in France. It's at Nantes, in Brittany, which I'm sure I'll enjoy passing through even without visiting it properly because I love that area. I'll go watch Mirrormask and listen to conferences and meet famous writers, and I need to check the program to better brag all the thigs I'll do.

It's not the World Con, but it'll do. :)

It´ not WorldCon but sounds a lot more manageable! WorldCon was just too big, did not have a clue what was going on half the time (despite careful reading of schedules and excel spreadsheets and all).

Ditch Norton, go with avg free. It really is free and IMO it´s a lot better than Norton, it ocupies less resources (does not have to worry if your copy is legal or registration) and slows the computer a lot less.

ahem, that was me, T that is. The one who owns powerpuff girls pasta.

oh yes, i'm sure it's easier to enjoy without needing a power of ubiquity times 10. However, I'm sure I'll still miss some stuff ^^

I used to use avg free and I was very happy with it, but when I switched to Windows XP I couldn't install it anymore. Is there now a version working with it ?

From:

I, too, was going to suggest AVG free, and I'm currently running it on Windows XP without problem, so I guess they updated it.

And yeah, US banks are notoriously closed any time you might have off from work. Mine closes at noon on Saturday, which kind of infuriates me in that it's such a short time to be open. "we're open! Ooops, now we're not. Hahaha, fooled you!"

From:

etrangere.livejournal.com

All right I'll see that as soon as I get home.

Wow, even worse. Why, oh WHY ?
