Orkut

Now, keep in mind that I’m not the biggest fan of social software. I don’t really find it all that useful, but I didn’t say anything about Orkut while everyone else was talking about it, because I hadn’t ever actually tried it. Last night Josh was kind enough to send me an invite, so I decided to go ahead and sign up and try it out for myself. Keeping in mind that my expectations going into this are very low, we’ll see over the next few weeks whether it does anything to change my impression of social software. If nothing else perhaps it’ll help me find a few more interesting blogs to read. If it does that, I won’t consider it a waste of time, if it does anything more than that, I might just come to veiw it as useful..:)

    Chris was kind enough to leave me the link to info on the new MyDoom.B variant in the comments. Looks like this sucker will launch an attack at Microsoft instead of SCO, and will mess with your host file to try and keep you from getting AV updates. Nasty little bugger. Thanks Chris, it’s always…
