Rants, Raves, and Rhetoric v4

CampusPipeline More Stable?

2 possibilities:

  1. CP 2.2.1 is more stable than 2.1.1
  2. or Joe has been hiding the crashes.

Hopefully the former. 2.1.1 rarely made it over 2 weeks without at least 1 crash. 2.2.1 has gone at least 2 weeks so far.


There is another “helpful” virus on the scene…TROJ_ALLGRO.A. This one sends and attachment tells you it checks for viruses. Of course, the person runs it, the programs sends email to everyone in the address book, and the ALLGRO attacks other viruses such as TROJ_SIRCAM.A and TROJ_BADTRANS.A. It also deletes VBS files.

Is this the case of a virus writer attempting to help people by tricking them into falling for yet another virus? When will the insanity stop?


Can’t believe I missed this one… Tombs Found in Mongolia Might Hold Genghis Khan.


Found on what’s in rebecca’s pocket?


Another gem from Rebecca: Blocking Ads. Gotta implement this at the office. The one with more than just Mac could work with any OS with a hosts file.

This is amazingly simple. Tell your system to map the advertiser hosts on your local machine. Since the system cannot find them, it cannot download the add.


OMG… <errorwear_>!!!!! wonder if they will have an IPO soon?


Okay… I am done for the day. Time to go get some lunch and start on the movies… YEAH!!
