Round up

I meant to write this last night, but I took Nyquil for a cold and spent the night in bed, so I never quite go around to it. 🙂

I did, finally, get the AV stuff installed on my machine as the server and the new desktop as client, pulling the definitions from my machine. It refused to see my machine as a legit AV server until I rebooted my machine, so keep that in mind if you’re ever doing one of these. I had to install directly on to the new machine, I apparently have something screwed up with the shares and permissions in XP, because when I tried to deploy from my machine to it, I got “access denied” errors. I’ll have to look a bit more into that before I roll out that machine to the user, but other than that, it’s ready to go. Then I’ll have to do the two laptops, so I do hope I find the permisions problem relatively soon and get it taken care of on all three. Once those are out the door, I should be able to deploy to all the other machines currently on the network, since I know those permissions are working ok.

But that’s for tomorrow (and probably Monday as well..). Today I am auditing that HTML class, so I may not have any ‘net access during the day.

    A reader asked me about a Sony laptop where every time he starts it up, it comes up and says it needs to be activated. Then it comes up and says “Windows is already activated” and contiues on in this circular logic pattern. It’s been happening since installing the MS Anti-spyware and updating WMP, but…

    Looks like we got a few copies of the W32.Gibe virus floating in last night. All of the attachments were stripped at the email gateway (Our ISP finally did something right!), but I was impressed with this one.

  • Attensa

    Among the many news items coming out of Gnomedex last week, I saw an announcement of a public preview for a new Outlook-based RSS reader, Attensa. So being ever so curious, I downloaded it this weekend. It’s actually not bad. It supports importing OPML, is pretty customizable, allows you to publish items to your blog…
