What is the origin of Flashmeister Graphics?
Having
been in the graphics business either as a printer or as a designer
for over 25 years this is "right up my alley!" I published and printed a large-format Christian newsletter in the late 70's and early 80's, so publishing "E-zines" is
an extension of that. Having had a debilitating accident in July
of 1997, it was necessary to refocus my energies from working in
a print shop environment to something that related to printing but
required less physical attention. I don't know where this road will
take me but so far I've combined my graphic skills with my writing
skills along with my interest in computers to place myself in jobs
such as a graphic designer and publications specialist in an electronic
design facility and an print-ecommerce web designer at a large midwestern
facility. Now, I'm aiming my sites toward web site development for
others.

What are some web things I've done?
Besides weekly upkeep on a church site at Grace Baptist Church and my own personal sites at Ken's Sales, Flashmeister Grafix, and Ken's Place, I've had the opportunity to setup and develop the site Kendra's Kandles for an entrepenuer who is now mothering her first child in Missouri and is, therefore, no longer conducting business. Two sites that I designed as a member of their respective boards are One In Him Ministries and the Blue Earth County Chapter of the Minnesota Concerned Citizens for Life. My Kids Design, a scrap-booking site, is unfinished and taken over by the owner but was begun by me. I setup several confidential sites for Carlson Craft Printers in Mankato, Minnesota. These are sites that went "live" but there are numerous sites in various stages of development that never have been published. My most recent venture is working with WebMissions, donating time for developing sites for missionaries.

Confused
about the differences between viruses, worms, and Trojan horses?
This
topic continues to cause much confusion for many computer
users, and understandably so. While viruses are different
from worms and Trojan Horses, they tend to be bundled all
under the umbrella of "viruses" to minimize confusion.
It might be more appropriate to describe all three as "malicious
code" and although there are some fundamental differences
between viruses, worms and Trojan Horses, there are also strong
similarities in they way they work, and especially in the
way they're delivered to the victim.
-
A virus infects programs and files, and then
spreads the infection to any other files and
programs that it comes into contact with.
-
A Trojan Horse rarely infects other files, but is usually
designed to perform a certain task - erase data, steal passwords
and data, track the user's behavior, etc.
-
A
worm causes harm by replicating itself, so often that it can
bring computers, email servers, or networks to a halt. Worms
can also carry destructive payloads.
