Mydoom, Bagle and Netsky families Virus
The new virus' doing the rounds on the internet are really starting to annoy me! They use a common spoofing process not from the infected customers. W32.Beagle.A@mm, the one fired at me the most, is a mass-mailing worm that accesses remote Web sites and sends email to any addresses it finds using its own SMTP engine. In other words it immitates website extensions, so I am sure many of you are getting email with the extension of your own server. Today I got one from support@brandonhamber.com. Virus' that operate in a similar way are Mydoom, Bagle and Netsky families. To read more about it click here.

Gadget Man
Since I always publish fairly serious things on my blog, decided today to post something somewhat more silly...a brief email discussion between a friend and I regarding the purchase of a new digital diary....
DB: I am about to buy a new personal organiser. I little bird told me you have just done the same. Any advice gadget man?
BH: I have been in the market for about two months and finally decided on one. Perhaps I should give you a demo of the one I bought, Palm Tungsten C. But let us talk, as I have been shopping since my birthday in September and only settled now.
DB: My last one broke last week. I had been looking at a T3 or Tungsten C. This is all very exciting. Let me know if you have a few moments in Belfast in the next few days.
BH: I will be around Friday. I am in love with my Tungsten C - but don't tell H.
DB: Looked at the TC and the T3…both at the same price on Amazon…how do I choose? The T3 looks like it might be better suited for a Friend of Gadget Man rather than Gadget Man himself. And what the hell is Blue Tooth?
BH: Yes, would be odd for Gadget Man and Friend of Gadget Man to have the same weapon. By having different weapons if we were ever in a situation you could use your bluetooth and I could use my wifi and we would have all bases covered. I will reveal more on Friday, i.e. what is bluetooth and wifi, the advantages of each in different areas of combat.
DB: Good…I feel the world will be a safer place once we have our new weapons … would the US and UK have invaded Iraq had they known we could down load word files on our handheld weapons?…one worry however…will we have to wear our pants outside our tights?

Managing Spam
Been trying to monitor my number of emails I get over the last while. On average seem to get about 1250 emails a month, about 50% are spam! I am now using Mailwasher Pro, or have been for the last few months, helps a lot...but wish someone could stop the spam merchants.

Why only fools and children use portals
Once upon a time, when Tony Blair was popular, Barry Sheen was alive and jeans didn't come with those strange yellow fake dust stains on them, there lived three kings. These kings, called AOL, Lycos and Yahoo!, shared control of the kingdom of Internetia., more...
