Weekend

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

By the way, the outage was not planned, someone screwed up when they were doing some router upgrades. I can’t complain because the email server definitely does seem much faster today than it had been! Besides, I don’t have the time, nor the bandwidth, to tell you about all the times I went to “upgrade” something only to wind up breaking it. *L*

Hope you all have a great weekend! Posting here, as every weekend, is iffy. If I get some things done on the site, I’ll post it, if I don’t, well, I won’t. 🙂

    Am I the only one having this problem? When I use the BlogThis! button on the Google toolbar in IE, the link is formatted incorrectly. For example, if I were to use that to link to yahoo.com, I wind up with a link to http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/http://www.yahoo.com. I then have to go back and retype the HTML…

  • Firefox upgrade

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Just to see whether they got better at dealing with my pet peeve, I downloaded and installed the 1.0 release of Firefox. The good news, is that rather than having to download and reinstall all the extensions again, now the browser disables all of the extensions. Then, at first startup it checks for updates to…

  • Geek hazard

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    So here’s a quick hazard of having too many geek toys. In process of making sitewide changes this weekend, I managed to screw up the HTML in two of the static pages. Turns out that while I used the laptop to check the validation of all of those pages, and corrected as necessary, I managed…

  • Spyware investigation

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Some interesting stuff, but no closer to a final conclusion of how it got there. The installer ran an XML file to get it’s updates. The XML file instructed it to download 4 files from download.statblaster.com. Those files were MemoryWatcher-b.exe, all_files9.exe, tracker.exe and FixIt.exe. Those in turn come bundled with their own “extras” and in…
