I was just complaining to Simeon that Verizon Wireless only works with IE. My ortho changed their certificate – I wonder if this “self-signed” certificate support will allow Verizon Wireless to work….. Yep! I am not sure I like self-signed certificates, but it works now. Windows no longer appear under the dock if the dock… Continue reading Safari b60 Notes

Slammer Worm Affects more than normal MS SQL Server…
from an MSDN flash I received: Most likely you have heard about the “Slammer” Worm last week. While many communications focused on patching SQL Server 2000, there are additional Microsoft products used by developers which are affected. The worm targets MSDE 2000, which is installed as an integral or optional component of many Microsoft products… Continue reading Slammer Worm Affects more than normal MS SQL Server…

Absurd Person Singular
I was invited to go see a play, Abstract Person Singular in Salem at the Pinnacle Theater tonight. I had a great time! The theater is in the boonies, very secluded and very intimate. The play was really enjoyable, but I can’t say as that I understood it. I understand some of the tie ins… Continue reading Absurd Person Singular

Memories
I used to be a Mac prankster. A long time ago, in an office far far away, I wrote an extension called “obnoxious” which had no icon, it got to a friend at UCLA who put it on Compuserve. Someone took it, renamed it to “Arggh” and added an icon. It then ended up in… Continue reading Memories

Should security experts alert us to exploits?
Recently David Lychfield posted that the recent slammer worm that affected MS SQL servers was his code. He posted the code to show the exploit. He now wonders if this was a good idea, because someone used this knowledge to create Slammer. “What if someone died because of this?” was a question raised. Sure, posting… Continue reading Should security experts alert us to exploits?
How to get back to “default” font
This is something that has been bugging me in all OS X apps and I would like your feedback. Lets say I open a new email message in Mail and start typing along. The default font is Helvetica 12 I think. Then I paste something in from, say, Script Editor. The font is Geneva with… Continue reading How to get back to “default” font
Apple Remote Desktop Experience Anyone?
So I’m trying to decide what my next Macintosh will be. Some swank powerbook this summer, cuz I love the new features (bluetooth, better airport, etc) or a new tower, because they are so fast. The disadvantages to a tower, though, is that I’d have to sit at a desk, which I loathe when I… Continue reading Apple Remote Desktop Experience Anyone?
Toolbar hijacks browsers
According to this Wired story, a utility is adding itself to user’s browsers and is difficult to remove. “When I find the bastards who programmed this thing I’d be happy to castrate them with a pair of dull pinking shears,” fumed one of Xupiter’s many unhappy victims in a newsgroup posting. Um, I have a… Continue reading Toolbar hijacks browsers

I picked up my Sally drawing that I had a custom frame made for at Aaron Bros. They did a great job! I hung her with the certificate near the door, over the light switch hehe.

Braces update
I had a bracket break off the other day, so I went in to have it replaced. That rear molar is in fine position, so we just cut the wire and left it. Seeing as my next scheduled appointment was next week we went ahead and put gap springs on the uppers (annoying, but will… Continue reading Braces update
