Service

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yesterday, between running around to meetings (I was out of the office attending meetings regarding other, personal, interests, bet you didn’t even notice?) I loaded up Trillian and ran into an error connecting to ICQ. Last night I did it again. I made a note to check the Trillian user forums and see if this was a bug or something, but got involved looking at a friend’s site code and forgot all about it.

This afternoon I thought about it again, so I loaded up Trillian on my laptop to see if the connection error was still happening, and got prompted instead to install the update that fixed the connection problem. Nice work!

  • Anti-virus built in to XP SP2?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    As Dana pointed out, this is an interesting article about Microsoft adding a built-in virus scanner to Windows XP SP2. I’m torn, obviously. On one hand, for all those home users who never seem to be able to use AV properly, maybe this isn’t such a bad thing. Although many still won’t remember to update…
