More nice stuff

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

My wife got me an early Valentine’s present today. Well actually we got each other early Vday presents, because she wanted a nice cardigan sweater she had seen on sale. So I took her with me to pick it out, (No freakin’ way am I buying her clothes by myself, the chances of getting that right are about as good as Microsoft releasing software without bugs!) and in turn she gave me the gift she had gotten me. A 1938 Heritage Club printing of Tale of Two Cities, with the Heritage Club newsletter that came with the book still stuck inside the cover. Very nicely done by a woman who obviously loves me!

Picked up from Notes from the Cave today that the Microsoft Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package automatically includes the Outlook 2000 Security Patch that gave people problems when they discovered the could no longer run any executables. You might want to keep that in mind.

Looks like the AOL cat and mouse with Trillian took the weekend off. I guess no one capable of making a decision at AOL works weekends, eh? *L*

Where’s Scoble been lately? His blog hasn’t been updated much at all, hope everything is ok!

It appears that Blogger Pro is going through some sort of growing pain at the moment, and my posts are not being published over to this site. Hopefully I’ll be able to get this posted to the site fairly soon!

    BadTrans is out there and looking quite active, at least based on the number of infected emails I’ve seen come bouncing into our network here at work. We did have one person get infected, two days after I posted a warning about it, and instructions on dealing with it, which is quite frustrating. Turns out…
