Excellent, where abouts did you stay? how was your trip?

It was a wonderful trip..... 5 days at the Caribbean Beach Resort. It is taking me several days to recover... we drove 14 hours down and 14 back. Good thing we had our portable DVD player for the car!

Have you been ill? Your face looks really gaunt compared to a year ago. I hope everything is ok.

Sorry for not replying sooner - yeah, no health problems now :) Basically in the first picture I was only a few lbs away from being classed as morbedly (sp?) Obese. In the second picture, I'm 60+ lbs lighter, and no longer at risk of having to have quadrouple heart by-pass surgey before hitting 40 (All joking aside, if I'd carried on living the way I did back then, I did run the risk of that happening - no exercise and junk food do not make for a good cardiovascular system)

I think it was just the way the webcam caught the pic + the haircut that day, the style of which made me look a lil thinner around the face than usual - here's one I took about a week ago, for a spoof-project type thing I was working on, and although I'm the same weight as in the other pic, I do look a lot better :)

Hey Hiro, I think you can afford to gain some weight :). I would do some exercises that focus on building up the arms. I think the loose sleeves there accentuate your slim~skinniness.

And to tell the truth, I think you look skinny. Maybe it's because I live in the USA, or Texas... maybe other members can agree/disagree.

The arm thing I'm the first to admit - hell my neighbours kid has got bigger arms than me, It's weird though, 'cause I've always had skinny arms. Back when I was a teenager I used to run 100m, 200m & Cross-Country, and the school P.E. teacher was forever trying to bulk my upper-body up, but it just never happened. It's weird, 'cause although my mom & Dad are on the thin-side, my dad, back when he was in his 20s, used todo Body Building, and got pretty big, so I guess I can't argue genetics :)

The USA Comment is interesting though, 'cause I've noticed recently on a lot of clothes there are two different size listings - A European size, and an American size. Seriously, what I'm wearning in that pic is classed as:

Shorts - European Size: S | American Size: XS

Tee-Shirt - European Size: XS | American Size: XXS (or 2XS)

But yeah, I wouldn't mind bigger arms, I might look into the P90X Programme that everyone seems to be raving about, see if that'll have any affect.

I saw a picture of your hair before it was 'corrected' :D I have to admit... it looks better now ;) haha!

In all seriousness, though, your hair does look nice blonde! Nice work from Jason! :)

lol Jason helped with the stuff that ended up wrong. I paid a professional a LOT (turns out they charge per hour on things like this) to get it looking this way. In the last 24 hours my hair has been bleached three times, colored, then colored again. :p My scalp hurts a tish now!

So worth it though!!!

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
