Yates Re-Trial Begins
Here’s something that caught my eye this morning. The re-trial of Andrea Yates will start this morning 2 days after her ex-husband, Russel, got re-married. You remember Andrea Yates. She’s the woman who drowned her 5 children in 2001. She was suffering from post partum depression and is using that as the basis for an insanity plea.
In the meantime Russell is honeymooning. Normally I’d say good for him but not in this case. Russel knew Andrea was suffering from post partum depression even before child number 5 was born. But he wanted to have another child so badly that they didn’t wait for her to recover before she got pregnant again. After child number 5 was born Andrea was so deep in this state of depression that she was definitely not in any condition to be handling all five kids on her own. So what does Russell do? He goes to work and leaves her alone with all the kids. By the time he came home from work they were dead. In my estimation Russell is as much at fault for his kids deaths as Andrea was.

Norton Protection Center Issues
I’m researching some issues relating to the new Norton Protection Center feature found in the 2006 version of Norton products and found that many people are very annoyed with this feature and just want to get rid of it. This page describes how to turn it off.
I actually don’t mind this feature but am a little annoyed with one particular aspect of it. It keeps saying that I have a problem because I have automatic updates set to notify instead of to automatic. I like keeping this setting to notify so I can control when a download happens and when to install. I haven’t found a way to turn off this particular alert. Anyone have any thoughts?

WordPress Backup Restore Plugin
When I first started using WordPress about a year ago I looked for a backup plugin. I wanted a nice and easy way to backup both the database and the files so I would be able to download them locally in case my provider went down and took all my data with it. Not only did I find such a plugin but recently I made it better.
