Microsoft Anti-Spyware Removes Norton Anti-Virus
An anonymous reader writes "According to a story over at Washingtonpost.com, the latest definitions file for Microsoft's Anti-Spyware beta flags Symantec's Norton Antivirus products as a password-stealing trojan and prompts users to delete portions of the program. Users who follow the instructions hose their installation of Norton, requiring delicate Windows registry edits and a complete removal/reinstall of Norton. Microsoft's support forum is quickly filling up with complaints about this problem, many from businesses that have been pretty hard hit. This should be a cautionary tale about deploying beta products in production environments."
If any Buffistas know chefs, or are acquainted with culinary schools, I'd really appreciate some guidance, as I'm thinking strongly about applying for the fall. Email at sathinks at gmail.com would be much adored.
Cookbooks are ready to ship. If you ordered one (or more), you should have received an e-mail saying they are shipping tomorrow. If you did not receive that e-mail, could you please e-mail me at buffistascookbook at gmail dot com? That way I can figure out if something went wrong and get it fixed right away.
I put up some pictures of Guatemala; this is only a handful of them, but at least I can prove I was there!
FYI...
Cookbooks shipped yesterday. Sorry they did not go out on Monday as planned, but my asthma was kicking my butt, and I was to take it easy for a few days, per doctor's orders. Plus, the snow storm made it difficult to take out the OLC (old lady cart) filled with packages. So, they went out yesterday.
They were shipped media mail, so those of you on the East Coast should get them rather quickly...those of you on the West Coast may not see them for about a week. Those of you in Alaska, well, I chipped in a bit to send it priority so it wouldn't take five weeks :).
Enjoy! And please post as you get the cookbooks. We would love to know how you like them.
First off, an ENORMOUS THANKS to all of the people who have contributed to keeping Buffistas up and running. It has been a while, thanks to the financial generosity of many of you, but looking at our bank balance, we'll need some cash over the summer. So, no rush, but I believe in planning ahead. If you feel so moved, you can paypal to donations(at)buffistas(dot)org, or email that same address if you want to mail a check, and I'll give you the details.
Thanks!

I posted my Galapagos pictures on Flickr: [link] I still need to add descriptions, but that may take me a few days.
Due to popular demand (and an amazing printer), there are a limited number of cookbooks available for purchase. Please e-mail me at buffistascookbook at gmail dot com to make sure there is the number you want available, and I will give you further directions.
These cookbooks will sell for $15 each, and all proceeds (minus shipping costs) will go to the board, since we have broken even. Yay!
In case you are in need of distraction, there is new lesson up at Gothic Charm School.
