I noticed an interesting screenshot in Bernie Goldbach’s Flickr stream from November 29th - Trend Micro’s new browser plugin, TrendSecure, flagging Boards.ie as Undesirable.

Apparently, sometime in the last two weeks Boards.ie has been upgraded to Threat Level Elmo: Dangerous. According to Trend, we should all
avoid this page or use considerable caution when viewing it.
Priceless. If they consider Boards to be dangerous, fuck knows how they classify PROC…

I am glad you like the decorating. The painters are almost done. Can’t wait to have my kitchen back!
