Random Thoughts by Paul Brun

Weekly Physio is over….finally…

This is a major milestone for me. It has been exactly three months since surgery and I no longer have to go to physio. I will have to come back in three weeks to do a quick “orthotron” test to see how my repaired knee compares to my left good knee. This machine is meant to compare strength between both legs. The right leg is still not 100%, but is really close.

I still have a long road of conditioning ahead of me before I can really get back into sports. I have at least two months before I can start doing any kind of conditioning that would involve cutting and/or pivoting. It is important to note that it has to be introduced in a controlled environment, so I just can’t go out into the soccer field and start doing soccer drills. I have to start slow and in the gym.

However, I have been cleared for outdoor running, and once all streets are cleared, I could possibly start rollarblading too. I will wait until conditions are more favorable to rollarblading though and I can’t do it without using my ACL brace.

That is it for now….

Bell Broadband users, watch out for those critters

I just read an article that broadband users on the Bell network had the highest percentage of virus attacks pegged at 17%. A spokesman for Symantec, who develops the infamous Norton Antivirus software, had indicated that this is not surprising since Bell has the largest number of Canadians using their network at 24%. Therefore, since they have the most users, they would be a bigger target.

You can read the original article here: Globe and Mail Technology Report

Whether this report is true or not, Bell is refusing to accept these statistics as valid since they claim to be the most secure network in Canada.

Regardless of your Internet provide, as long as you have a router/firewall that fronts the Internet connection, you should be safe….end of story.

It was definitely an interesting read.
