Faith or Gutlessness?

Can I write a more personal blog post here? More for my sake than for yours. I am constantly struggling with the decision to launch out in faith or pull back to home base. Yesterday I pulled back. I’m now back in London. I came back early . . not sure if i made the…

Viruses and their lack of creativity

Nothing annoys me more than lack of originality. The viruses people send me are ALWAYS 39k. I mean always. Last year there were the same size also – every one of them was like 119k. (These guys must send out the same bug – cant they even make their own??) But this year they are…
