Attracting the wrong attention

Apparently, putting IE7 as a Technorati tag attracts the attention of someone from ieproviders.com, who leaves comments about the search providers you can plug into the search bar in IE7 even when that particular post has nothing to do with searching.

So I’m giving them the attention they crave over there, by exposing them. 🙂

    No seriously, I attended an Internet Security Systems demo/seminar this morning and they gave away t-shirts with big smiley faces and “Security is Happiness” printed under them.

  • Per request

    Per Dianna’s request, in the comments, here are my first impressions of IntraVnews: First off, I’m running it with Outlook 2003, on an older type laptop running Windows 2000, with only 128MB of RAM, so YMMV.

The answer to this is actually not well known, but something I…
