Watch those typos

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This morning, after a doctor’s appointment, I was greeted by a frightened employee worried about what might show up in her Internet History. It seems that she wanted to check a prices on something at a sporting soods store and inverted two of the letters in the name, when she typed the URL. That new word was a whole different sort of site from what she was looking for, and what would be considered work appropriate. Needless to say a quick accident like that, while it would grab my attention, wouldn’t result in a problem so long as you immediately left that site. Several hits to that site, on the other hand, I might have to report. 🙂

  • An update

    As a quick update to the post about Internet bottlenecks. Our networking folks spent a couple of weeks doing random traffic captures, both inside the firewall and having the ISP do it outside the firewall. Nothing really significant was found, no malware tying up bandwidth, no one streaming video all day long, nothing at all…

  • Embedded XP?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    According to Cringely’s latest at InfoWorld, the soon to be released Dell PDA’s will be running an embedded version of Windows XP, not Pocket PC 2002. Could that be what’s keeping the price down?
