Hackers Manipulating Internet Explorer Add-Ons

Apparently, there is going to be an MT-Blacklist compatible with Movable Type 3.0 I’m still not completely convinced that I’ll be updating the child abuse blog to 3.0, but it’s nice to know I can take my favorite tool with me if I do, and I won’t be forced to using TypeKey to keep out spammers.

The Rise Of Gadgets Mean We’re Working Even When We’re Playing -If you work in IT, you know this is true. If you’ve just followed along here for any amount of time, you know this is true. I planned my Memorial Day vacation stops around hotels with internet access, so I could keep up with what was going on at the office.

    The in-laws have departed, and, hopefully, I can get to work on that laptop software tonight. Seeing as how my wife and I just napped for a good 3 hours, I should have plenty of energy to work on that, eh? There’s nothing better than Sunday afternoon naps, can I just say that? While they…
