Normally, I'm in favor of the rollup mentality for updates... BUT...
this month, our advisory NOC suggested blocking the april windows update rollup because of the bitlocker issues that happen in a few cases... but this also means that the computers are still unprotected for the 0-days that were also patched in the update.

Okay folks - I'm asking that you all help keep me on track... the scale this morning said 308 lbs. (140 kg)
I need to get that down...
I'd like to get that down to 286 lbs. (130kb) by July 12.

I work IT, and am mostly sedentary.

My goal is to walk at least 2 miles a day (between treadmill and outside walking)

I'll try to post my results (steps/Distance/excerciese) every morning for the previous day, and weekly weight.
Is there anybody else who wants to join me?

I hate the health care system her in the US....

in the span of two years... the same ADHD med has gone (for me, with what is considered "good" insurnace)
from a $20 co-pay
to a $60 co-pay
to effectively not covered... $150 after deductible... but the insurance estimates that I'll pay $148 every month
