Today was my mum's birthday - and despite the logistics of trying to get her a decent gift (mail is only delivered a couple of times a week), I managed to do so. Gave her a call after work - and everything seems to be doing pretty well at the moment (on that side of the family at least).

After work today I went to watch the new Academy Award winning The Counterfeiters which tells the story of Operation Bernhard under which the Nazis planned to destabilise the British economy by flooding its market with forged GBP - based on the memoir of Adolf Burger who was one of the Jewish forgers who they used for the plan. It is easy to see why this won Best Foreign Language Film - and it is well worth checking out if you get the opportunity.

Was interested to read that the anti-virus vendors are getting ready to release new Mac products as Mac OS becomes more attractive to virus writers now that around 8% of the worlds computers are Macs (almost 16% in developed countries). Companies like PC Tools are bringing out mac versions of their product quickly to capitalise on the growing need for Macs to get added protection and have cutely named the product iAntiVirus. Maybe time to install something.
