Fixed - and I am downloading the trial version of NAV [I will bring home the full version from work on Monday] to just make sure nothing else is there, and I will put the Firewall back on, just to be sure. I got what I deserved though, leaving an open port - especially a windows port is just stupid if you have cable connection. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

The PC caught a Worm - it's annoying, because on the old setup I didn't have file sharing bound to the network card which connected to the outside world - but I hadn't checked to make sure the same was true under the new settings, and obviously it wasn't true. So I have disconnected the PC and am working at removing the evil worm - grrr. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

Planet GameCube FEATURES: The Other Side I haven't read all of this but what I have read of it makes it clear that it is a much more indepth study of XBL from an outsiders perspective - and if the US prices translate to AUD then I think I am interested. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

Hackers target wireless networks - is a completely outrageous headline for a story which doesn't say very much - except that this Satruday is an International WarDriving day - I might put up my site to celebrate.

May I just add that I really am not into this to steal web access or corporate secrets or trash networks - I am just curious and had the spare cash to get a wireless card for the work laptop. Scanning for networks is no different to walking by a house and noticing the door is open - if you head into the house, THAT is when you start breaking the law.

I am not even keen on scanning the network to "just see what's on it" or to try and use a printer to print a message that informs the company of their insecurities. No I have enjoyed driving around picking up networks and working out where they may be - and of course, thanks to praetor, I am enjoying the freedom of using the laptop anywhere around the house.

Oh, and I guess you would have worked it out by now, but the new idea is to have the ability to post comments related to the blogg entries - I am trying to work all this out myself - which means it might take a while to get it in place - especially when the database I have set up to do the comments is NOT working at all like the one I set up for the LinkDB - although I am learning a heap about PHP and SQL - which is very interesting - and I am even beginning to understand a little about how it works :) when it does work that is .... I have just about worked out the logic of how to work it, coding it is the next step.

And for those long term readers - you may recall that in may I spent many a weekend at work trying to get the new servers to work - with no success - well I had brainwave last nightand now have worked out a bit of how it works - enough to be able to set the servers up at last!

Please pray for the people of Tibet as they struggle with the rebels and natural disaster. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

Two things that I want to mention:

1] HSC starts [end of High Schooling exams in Australia] tomorrow: to all those students I wish you well - once the first one is over it is much better - remember that God is in control and that no matter what happens, your life is being planned and watched over by God who loves you so much that he would die for you.

2] A note of rememberance for all those people who died in the Bali Bombing - but also for everyone around the world who is dying as a result of the sinful nature of the people who are in this world. There is hope and a chance to understand what is going on - but it takes the faith to trust the God who made us and keeps us going, and who died for us so we can know him personally.
