Newsletter roundup

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

A couple of interesting things seen in newsletters today. First there’s today’s Spyware Info Weekly which talks about accusations of reverse engineering and fraud among different anti-spyware apps. Interesting stuff, I think we’d all do well to make sure we aren’t using a fake spyware killer.

Then, from today’s LangaList comes a pointer to Fred’s InformationWeek column about white-box, or generic, PC’s as compared to name brand PC’s. Good stuff.

    Yup, that’s a fresh, new Movable Type installation over at that new domain. Really wasn’t all that difficult and didn’t take too long, considering I was only working on it while waiting for actual work processes to finish and would have to stop every 5 minutes or so. 🙂 I guess if it had my…

  • Batch renaming?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I find myself in need of a tool that I’ve never really needed before. It seems that our newest addition to the digital camera collection we have going starts it’s file naming process over from 1 whenever you put in a new SD card. So if you’re on a trip or out somewhere taking lots…

    This post by Meryl Yourish, called Yes, I am a Jew is really powerful stuff. It also has left me feeling rather melancholy, and thoughtful today. (Scary isn’t it?) Not that I’m Jewish, nor have I ever dealt with people who hate me for no reason than my ethnicity. But it does have me wondering…
