Mircosoft are showing their true colours again, this time refusing to make a fix for a Denial of Service attack available for NT4 (Flaw in RPC Endpoint Mapper Could Allow Denial of Service Attacks). In essence, they say it is too difficult to write a code-fix or service pack for NT4.
Repeat after me:
“Thank God this can’t happen in Open Source systems.”
Something almost funny occured today…
a bill from O2 arrived with a required payment date of 28th March: tomorrow! Anyways I rang customer support to ask them to note I wouldn’t be able to pay on time (payment takes time to clear etc) and the lady in O2 customer support kept asking if I had a land-line number as there was too bad a connection for her to hear me clearly – with me ringing from an O2 phone.
Laugh? I almost hurt myself.
One of the funniest pages I’ve seen in a long time:

After taking the plunge, biting the bullet:
paid down a deposit on a lovely Saxo today during lunch after taking it on a test drive.
Lovely (and Rachel, my sweetheart, is over the moon about it).
Mozilla 1.3 was released recently. Great stuff!
I can’t recommend Mozilla’s DOM Inspector enough – it’s really saved me a lot of time today, no needless sifting through code. 
Internet Explorer has been driving me demented these days – now its table alignment algorithms are screwing my mind around like nobody’s business.
Another thing that’s been getting to me a bit is my driving instructor advising me to go buy a car to practise in – I’ve a first provisional driving license, so along with being screwed with insurance on it am I supposed to ring up a qualified driver to drive over to my place so I can drive down to the shops!?
Annoyed doesn’t even begin to describe….
