Must have coffee…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Yeah, I know, I made a typing error and breakfast in bed turned into breakfast in BAD. I wasn’t trying to insinuate that there was anything but breakfast, I just have this typing/spelling problem. Usually I rely on a good spell check, but, obviously, bad didn’t turn up as a bad spelling so I missed it! Thanks for pointing it out, Anita.

Seems like everyone who is blogging from SXSW is having a great time. Made me really jealous while I was sitting in a staff meeting this morning. 😉

Fred Langa’s latest newsletter has a story on a new bit of scumware that leaves desktop shortcuts and favorite folders to such wonderful things as adult sites, and gambling sites. I can see it now, you share your PC with your wife you visit the site in question that runs the script, and then your wife wants to know why you have adult sites saved as favorites all of the sudden! That’ll be a fun conversation! So you might want to make sure your browser’s set to ask before running scripts, eh?

Geocities is introducing new paid hosting plans. The interesting thing here is that even with the most expensive plan all you get is PHP support, nothing for Perl, ASP, FrontPage extensions, etc. At $19.95 a month and that’s all I get is PHP support? Are you kidding me?

Court Shuts Down ‘.usa’ Internet Address Scam – I missed this one, but then again, I don’t even look at spam anymore so I probably did get it and delete it without even taking notice of it. I am surprised it fooled that many people, I mean if you follow the internet at all you should know .usa and .brit aren’t valid TLD’s, but I guess not everyone pays that much attention

    I’ve been meaning to write about my time in Cleveland the past couple of days, but I just never seemed to find the time. On Thursday, had a great time spending the evening at the In The Trenches Cleveland Geek Dinner. It was late, very late, by the time I turned in for the night….

    So here’s a good one. Angela logged in to her MySpace account to send a message to a friend of hers. When she did, it gave her an error about the spam filter, then she was prompted to change her password because her account had been phished, which it hadn’t. Stay with me on this…

    Angela’s got her pics from Washington DC up over at her place. Personally, I’m thinking the giant armadillo would be yet another reason I’m glad to be born now instead of then! *L* Update: her site seems to be down at the moment, I’m assuming her brother’s server is offline for some reason. No I…

    Ugh, those 10PM arrivals into the airport really catch up with you at work the next morning, don’t they? Trip was a lot of fun, took some great pics, which you’ll probably get to see sometime later in the week. Obviously, we didn’t have time to download them or work with them in any way…

    You’ve got Mail, more and more and mostly, it’s junk. From the NY Times (registration required). Some interesting quotes: “If you’re saying `unsolicited’ is the problem, I would ask you to think about my favorite example: Here’s a one-dollar coupon on Tide sent to everyone in America,” said Bob Weintzen, president of the Direct Marketing…

    Brad reminded me about the Columbus ITEC show going on next month. I had forgotten all about it. I’ll probably be there at some point during the two days of the event, but I’m not sure when yet. Gonna have to get a good look at the seminar schedule and what not before then. 🙂…
