Lads and Lasses,
I'm going to be only sporadically online for the next week due to me be chased by bears, and possibly mountain lions, in the hills around Banff.
Sean, Kevin and Matthew are holding the fort. Please don't break too many things (including Sean, Kevin and Matthew) and I'll try and keep up with email as much as I can.
cheers
Chris Maunder

Enjoy. The family and I are currently trying to save the Greek economy. If they could convert sunshine to Euro's, they would be rich.

Maybe that's the plan.

1. Cover the whole country in solar panels.
2. Sell the electricity on the European market.

I tried that once, but there is a limit* to how much Ouzo a man can drink.
* One and half bottles; quickly followed by several never agains.

Just make sure that you are not the slowest one of the bunch.

I realized that bear spray can be used in two ways: one where you take your chances slowing down a bear, or the other where you slow down the tourists around you.
That's a bit wrong, isn't it?

You do not have to worry about the tourists around you. Most of them are clueless when it comes to wildlife. We drove through Jasper two weeks ago on the way to Edmonton and came upon a bunch of vehicles parked on the side of the road. There were lots of people (mostly Asian tourists) standing on the side of the road and down the embankment with there cameras pointed at something. Upon a closer look there was a grizzly bear munching on something at the bottom of the embankment. The closest tourist was literally no more then 30 feet away from it.

An even closer tourist?
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

Yeah - the tourists here are something else.

I hope you've hidden Sean's Spandex 'SuperAdmin' outfit this time! It gets a bit unnerving, especially on an empty stomach, when he starts doing 'that' dance wearing the outfit. I mean, in their place, there is nothing wring with Spandex, Taffeta or Sequins, but together in the company of Sean it is just too much.

We were just in Banff last week. Absolutely beautiful there. Enjoy your time there.
If you have the time, be sure to drive the icefields highway up to Jasper, you will not regret it.

Windows Defender on Win 10 is driving me round the twist - it's the AntiMalware bit that's doing it. Despite telling it in Task Scheduler that I only want it to run at 18:00 every day, if I go to make a coffee it still kicks in because my PC is "idle" - and that's my PC effectively replaced with a 286 for an hour. 
I mean...with Win7 my CPU fan kicked in once a month maybe, when I was doing complicated stuff. With Win10, it kicks in at least once a day thanks to Antimalware and Rundll32...and it's LOUD!
So...in the interests of not running without an antivirus, or reverting to win 7 (which becomes more enticing every time Win10 throws in another annoyance) does anyone know of a good antivirus for Win10? One that does what you tell it to, quietly in the background, and doesn't hog at least one core and my whole HDD for an hour if I pop off to the loo?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
