Busted

I see that Andy caught my debut posting over at the 2Guys2Cities blog last night before I even knew Michael had posted it up there!

No, Andy, I was actually on vacation last week. I met Michael Lacy a few months ago and he suggested I do some writing for their site, mostly focused on information for the home user, which is a little bit different from what I do here. They’re going to be revamping the whole site fairly soon, and he wanted to kind of “test the waters” with some of my stuff before the new site launched. Seeing an opportunity to move beyond my normal audience of techies, I volunteered my services. We’ll see how it works out, I’ve already gotten a number of things written, partially written or that I’m thinking about, but I’m open to suggestions on what information should be shared with home users!

    Some interesting stuff, but no closer to a final conclusion of how it got there. The installer ran an XML file to get it’s updates. The XML file instructed it to download 4 files from download.statblaster.com. Those files were MemoryWatcher-b.exe, all_files9.exe, tracker.exe and FixIt.exe. Those in turn come bundled with their own “extras” and in…

    OK guys, who’s with me on this one? It’s totally not cool to give your husband cold medicine and then mess with his mind just to see how much of an effect the medicine is having. It’s just not nice at all… On the other hand, trying to skim a bunch of items in Bloglines…
