Security holes found in PHP scripting language -Gee and it’s not even a Microsoft scripting language? Just goes to show, totally secure, bug-free stuff is not that easy!

Britney Worm warning -It’s not very widespread now, but I’m willing to bet the same idiots who were dying to get a pic of Anna are the same ones opening and running this one hoping for a glimpse of Britney.

Have iPod, Will Secretly Bootleg -Man if this really happened where a kid walked into a CompUSA with his iPod and starting copying software off the display Mac’s, computer stores have a problem!

Geocites to end FTP service for free users. Great, now I’ve got to figure out some other way to have a blog on my Child Abuse site. Like Yahoo hasn’t become enough of a pain with their non-stop invasive advertising, now this?

The details are in and the new site for Gnomedex 2002 went live last night. It’s all being held in downtown Des Moines this year, no more shuttle bus! Although that does mean we won’t get to enjoy Nathan’s driving this year. I’m seriously hoping I can get there again this year, it’s still too far out to tell for sure. But if it’s anything like last year, you need to get there!

    So I ask again: why are we listening to the people who have the most to gain by getting everyone to buy AI tools, instead of making our own decisions about how quickly we should move forward with AI?

  • Naming names…

    Geek News Central has a post about unsubscribing to a handful of feeds that are both partial feeds, and filled with Google Ads.

  • Linspire as VM

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Way back when, Linspire offered their OS for free for a limited time. I signed up for that, mostly in order to satisfy my curiousity. Eventually I got the ISO downloaded and tried to use it to build a virtual machine using VMWare Workstation. Unfortunately the install crashed. Since the install was kind of a…

  • So how was your weekend?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    This has been a great weekend for us. We’ve been out, doing fun things, and I’ve had a boatload of opportunities for pictures. First up, this weekend was the Tour de Grandview, a series of cycling races that take part over the weekend. Since the race course is only a few blockes from our house,…

  • Worst Web Service Ever

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I’d forgotten about how gawd-awful the Microsft Windows File Associations web service is. I don’t remember ever getting a file with no program associated and clicked the “click here to get information on the programs needed to open this file” and found actual useful information, most times it’s just like this: http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?Ext=mdi The sad thing…
