Since it'll be a long time before I can play racquetball again, I figure I can live a little vicariously. I’ve been watching A LOT of the coverage of the Australian Open (tennis).

You can also follow me on http://twitter.com/nanovak as I've been putting short updates there. I'm having complications because of how many surgeries I've had on my knee, so I have a lot of pain from a hematoma that developed in my calf (pool of blood) and associated swelling. The knee itself is actually doing very well and as expected. If I didn't have the hematoma to deal with I would be mostly independent at home by this point and would be working from home this coming week. Mair, I’m going to be working on a blog post today.

The one thing I noticed though is that no matter how many times I run it there are always 2 updates it says I need. One is KB953631 I believe, the other is the Malicious Software Tool for the current month. I can keep running the update script and it says it needs to be installed everytime. I setup another core VM to test it out, and it does the same thing, so I don't think it is the system unless it is a VM only problem. Anyone know a way to install these properly or at least get it to stop detecting them? Also, if I set it to full auto updating, does that mean it will try to install those 2 updates every night?
