Real.com Requires an email address to download Real Player 10
Why would Real.com now require an email address to download their “free” software? And why in the world is the license agreement nineteen pages long? It’s quite a bit scary to think that that stupid text gives Real the right to do whatever it wants and if someone simply clicks “Agree” that Real would be […]

Another Hack Attack
Someone else has tried to hack my web site. They were at 62.150.201.14 which resolves to somewhere in Kuwait. From the server log: 62.150.201.14 – – [19/Sep/2004:20:36:23 -0400] “PUT /kwkh.htm HTTP/1.0” 403 1287 “-” “Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider DAV 1.1” Maybe I should set up WebDav onto a honeypot, so I could see […]
Boo Apple!! They Killed iPodDownload

The music played fine through iTunes while the external drive was mounted. Unfortunately, the iPod was not recognized through the external hard drive’s second FireWire port. I really […]
Eudora is Crashing
I’ve been using Qualcomm’s Eudora for the Mac since the day I started at CDT, June 1, 1999. I’ve moved my Eudora settings file from Mac to Mac as I’ve upgraded machines over the years. And I’ve changed versions of Eudora many times since then. And changed from OS 8.something to my current OS X […]
Hack Attempt on PlanetMike
Someone tried to deface PlanetMike yesterday. From my server logs: 200.140.36.178 – – [01/Sep/2004:01:36:43 -0400] “PUT /Hack3rz.htm HTTP/1.0” 403 1293 “-” “Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider DAV 1.1” A google search turned up some info on these “Hack3rz”, but not much useful information. And a All-Nettools.com search showed that IP address to be in […]
Tickets to the Prince William County Fair
I wanted to take my family to the Prince William County Fair next week. So I visited the web site to get information on hours and ticket prices. The PWC Fair is exactly backwards in how they charge for tickets. If I wait to buy tickets at the door, it is $14 per ticket (adults […]
