Computer Problems Again
A few months ago, I was briefly knocked offline by a hardware problem, a blown power supply on my main computer. That was taken care of, but now I face another and different problem: a virus, and one apparently picked up from an ad on a boxing web site.
When I get my computer back from repair, I'll be able to explain more about this in detail. For now, I just have to report that production of my shows has been slowed down. SecondsOut Radio was posted on time this week, but No Holds Barred has been delayed. Ironically, that edition of the show was supposed to discuss issues like the role of social networking and social media in the combat sports. Now we will have to add some discussion of the proliferation of adware, spyware, and viruses in ads on certain combat sports sites, and how to avoid them. So we will be back up and running soon, and feistier than ever.
