There’s a new round of malware spreading tactics going on. This one involves using fake YouTube pages. Here’s how it works and how to avoid it.

In a recent entry, “Where Is IPV6?“, I wondered about the fact that with all the noise about IPV4 address space running out it struck me as a little disturbing that the continent of Africa was making the transition to IPV6 a heck of a lot faster than the rest of the world.

Aftrica is leading the world in the adoption of IPV6 addressing. I realize that African ISPs and networks aren’t exactly a dime a dozen, so they’ve got less to adapt and change. Plus the fact that because they’ve so much less established stuff there, they can adopt the new IPV6 ready equipment and software right from the start.

One of the things that’s bugged me for a long time is the fact that Windows operating systems have this thing to them about autoplaying any CD-ROM that’s inserted.

Yesterday I got an email that was a very believable threat. It claimed that the person sending it was receiving virus laden emails from my address. They claimed to have gotten logs from their ISP and were even so kind as to include a copy of said logs.

Contrary to what a lot of people will say, life out here in the sticks is actually pretty good. Everything is on a slower pace and there isn’t nearly as much traffic and pollution as you have in just about any larger city.

From 95 onward windows has always had a reasonable search function. It’s evolved over the years a bit here and a bit there and then along came XP. One of the things I hate about the XP version is that blasted animated dog.
