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. 🙂

    When we moved into our new place at the end of October, and it turns out that the only available cable TV/internet bundle available to us is through Charter. It would not have been my first choice, given experiences I’ve heard from others, but it is what it is. I had U-Verse in my apartment,…

    Looks like, finally, blogrolling’s service is back to normal. If you’ve been following along since Friday you know that not only was it not working very well in numerous ways, but there were no updates. (Hence the reason I said nothing about it here. There was nothing to report!) This is an update/apology, which is…

    As someone who still works with NT 4.0 servers in my professional life, I wasn’t thrilled when MS didn’t come up with a patch for an RPC vulnerability. On the other hand, I already have our NT 4.0 server behind a firewall with port 135 blocked, so it’s really not that big a deal. I…

    I’ve got a ton of work to do today, between a new employee, a new machine and today being the first working day of March, meaning month-end reporting, I’m sure I’ll be tied up most of the day with work. So if you don’t hear from me later, that’s why! Before I go though, since…
