Thanks to Andy for the pointer to Microsoft’s patch for the Secure Sockets problem that they claimed before wasn’t a big deal. Oh well, at least they did patch it! (Note the Win 2000 version of the patch is not available yet.)

Doc has written up his Linux Journal article about his talk at Gnomedex. The important thing here is at the end, the Net is becoming the platform over which cool stuff is taking place.

I’m going to enjoy being the tester and learning new stuff about XP as I go along. I’m sure I’ll have interesting XP stuff to blog about!

I’m not the biggest fan of year end reports to begin with, but when certain things get entered into the database incorrectly and throw off the year end reports, and I have to go back and fix the records so I can then fix the reports, I can get even more ugly than usual. Not…

On-line applications

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I think this post pretty much sums out why using on-line apllications makes me nervous, even though I do use quite a few, but I take careful steps to make sure I have backups of everything that’s on-line and don’t share anything with an on-line application that I wouldn’t want you all to know about….
