Stupid Computer Tricks
Some fairly common “tricks” in here, some (like win98 installing multiple device drivers), aren’t nessesarily the users fault.

Great discussions

Wednesday, October 29th, 2003

So is blogging about my blog fall into the “life” or the “technology” category… I know I’ve been promising to get my categories under control, but just haven’t gotten around to it.

Firebird, now my default Browser

Tuesday, October 28th, 2003

Mozilla Firebird
After a few frusterations with Mozilla 1.5 (weird pauses), and Stella even mentioning that this latest build was acting weird, I thought it time to switch to firebird.
It’s slick but still doesn’t feel fully mature. Anyway, my wife is the best software tester I know, she’ll let me know very quickly if it’s […]

I got Worms!

Sunday, October 26th, 2003

Sophos virus analysis: W32/Nachi-A
Sorry couldn’t help it… the awesome Antivir, just notified me that I was infected with W32/Nachi.worm. Not even a week after installing win2k.
Hadn’t had a virus/worm for ages (fully patched win98/mozilla) so getting a “not-so-bad” virus was a good reminder to patch myself up to date.

Is Top–Sites.net Legit?

Sunday, October 26th, 2003

Got this strange message today from Top–Sites.net. Anyone heard anything about them, or know if they are a legitimate search engine?
The email asks you to check your listing on thier site, it’s weird that they would ask permission as most search engines just do it automatically. They also create “reports on your website’s popularity and […]

Professional Package @ 1&1 Internet Inc.
It looks like someone might have at last gotten free web hosting right!
I used prohosting a while back, and while the promised totally free hosting, it folded and went ad based soon after I joined.

I had seen a few posts on Flashblogging, so I decided to participate in the one yesterday, since it was so much easier to do then Flashmobbing, or any other type of Flashing.
The orgainzer was Clear Blue Skies and the victim was Viper Squad Ten.
