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. I made a tech support call last year from Denver, CO to order a replacement part, using my PocketPC’s copy of our hardware inventory to get the serial number so the part would be in house when I got back from my vacation.

Not a busy weekend, actually kind of relaxing, but I did manage to get some techie stuff done: A few pictures added to the Deep South Gallery from Alexandria last week.
