State of the Union

Well done Parody
Watch
Very enjoyable, brutally honest.
Comrade Bush is powerful yes?

Viruses

W32.Sobig.F is getting very annoying. So is W32.Blaster.Worm.
Why can’t people just take proper precautions:

Firewall. I have 3, Win XP firewall/OS X Firewall, Sygate Personal Firewall (laptop), and a Netgear Hardware firewall (w/ SPI). All you really need is 1.
Virus Scan
Secure up to date software. At the very least, update Windows. [...]

100k G5’s

Apple announced that 100k G5’s have been ordered on Monday.
Now that Apple is making that much… they should send me a freebie just to say “thanks for loving Mac OS X”
In other news, Bender (file server) is still running after 48 hours. A good sign. Lets see if it [...]

Less and less productive

As I play more Operation Iraqi freedom, I get less and less work done in the evenings… not good for me.
On the plus side, I’m starting to learn my way around Iraq by air.

F/A-18 Hornet Operation Iraqi Freedom

Nice graphics, nice game play, good price. How can I complain?
Not much [...]

Lights Out Pt. 2

CNN has a nice little article titled Iraqis’ top 10 tips for enduring blackout in the heat. Definitely worth a read. Funny, yet informative. Suddenly, for about a day, NYC and Iraq could really relate.
Took the day off. Got Korean/Japanese food (good stuff). So it was a surprise 3 [...]

OS X 10.2 for my server

Going to install Mac OS X 10.2 for my server this weekend (just arived). Should be interesting. What’s neat is I ordered it via Apple with ground shipping… came overnight. Quickness.
If only F/A-18 Hornet Operation Iraqi Freedom came so quick from J&R now… can’t wait to shoot up some Iraqi MIG’s.

Movabletypezilla.

Ben Goodger discussed the idea of making an XUL based Blog posting window.
I’m currently working on it. Can be seen here. Far from done, but a great way to learn XUL!
Quite impressive what one can do so easily. XUL is pretty cool.

Smilies

For the sake of finishing off the blog a bit more, smilies are now installed
Horray for smilies
