Smart Card Driver’s licenses? -Yet another example of how people in Washington are constantly on the lookout for new laws to invade your privacy and keep track of you at every stop. Why else would they propose smart-card driver’s licenses and demand that they interoperate with third party, private systems?

This whole thing with the Klez virus is sure creating havoc, isn’t it? I have received the version where it seemed to be sent from postmaster@ our work domain and claimed to be a bounced email. A little snooping and a good look at the file extension of the attachment made it obvious that it wasn’t really bounced mail. People need to get educated to this stuff!

It appears that the European Union is moving on it’s own version of the DMCA. It’s bad law here, it’ll be even worse there.

OK it’s the first of the month, time for some serious database maintenance!

  • Consumer Reports

    Related to the last post, I found a copy of the latest issue of Consumer Reports in the office and took a peek at their ratings. They rate a Gateway number 1, Toshiba 2nd, IBM 3rd and a Dell 4th, with the Dell being the “best buy” because it’s 400-600 dollars cheaper than the others….

  • Yeah so I’m a geek!

    Last night, I met a friend for drinks and dinner after work. Imagine, if you will, a very hip drinking establishment, right smack dab in the middle of the Arena district of Columbus. (You actually look out on the front entrance to Nationwide Arena from this place.) A bunch of young, single people hanging out…

    Jevon reminded me that I left out a rather big part of the getting updates puzzle! You could, of course, if you’re not interested in finding a way to get an RSS feed, or don’t want the email to get lost among your all important offers of free Viagra, the millionaire’s plan, or cheap cell…

  • Backup to Email

    I saw this little utility on Lockergnome today and just had to try it out. It works pretty much as advertised. It automatically filled in the server details for Gmail and Yahoo, but not Hotmail. I could set-up any SMTP server manually though. I could easily right-click any file and use the “backup to email”…
