Weekends

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I probably won’t be posting much the next couple of days. The in-laws are coming up for a visit, which is cool. I actually get along pretty well with them. With it being a 3-day weekend I’m still hoping to get some geek stuff done for myself on Monday. Mostly I need to get the laptop hooked into the home network and get some software updates. I haven’t been traveling so it hasn’t been needed, and it’s fallen behind. Not that I’m planning any traveling in the near future, but you never know when the ‘net connection is going to crap out at work again, so having an up-to-date laptop is never a bad emergency plan.

    I was just thinkingthe same thing! To quote: “One thing that’s different, this time, though, is that along with all the usual bounces, I’m getting an annoying amount of “challenge-response” requests from people I didn’t email. In other words, the virus emails someone randomly and puts my email address as the “reply-to”. If the recipient…

  • Hmm

    Maybe the next time someone at work gets the impression that I’m just a control-freak, mean, nasty IT guy who won’t let then use their PC the way they want to, I’ll point them to this Wired article on spyware. Maybe then they’ll get why things like Real are not allowed on our network? Yeah,…

  • Sometimes I hate RSS

    Something in this post has been causing “An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource ‘https://www.silver-mosquito-943229.hostingersite.com/blogger_rss.xml’. Line 23, Position 772 “. I have run out of ideas on what it might be, so I guess anyone reading in a aggregator is going to have to come to the site until that post…
