Kelly writes “the last few

Kelly writes “the last few weeks i’ve been just completely ripped on any message board i’ve posted on. it’s like everyone takes every word i say as offensive or mean. ugh, what’s the point of sharing your opinion if it means people are just going to take turns beating you up for it?”. It does seem to me that there have been a lot of people, certainly on blogs, who have taken to trolling – going around just being obnoxious on other people’s webpages. I know that on the TampaTantrum web site, they have made a logo for blogroach killer or something along those names – quite apt really! Thankfully I’ve not had to deal with any of that sort of thing on this website, and when i’ve had abusive responses back on the internet newsgroups or similar places, then the killfile is useful, as is remembering that it’s only a webpage and that I can make the choice to go somewhere else and not answer back. Still I do feel for you Kelly as I know its tough!

Our Anti-Virus software picked up

Our Anti-Virus software picked up on a script that is included with 1st Page 2000 that launches loads of internet windows called JS.WindowBomb. Its been on our server for yonks and it’s only just decided to call this a virus (technically it isn’t – its just malicious code). An online version of this script is available which will do the same thing – if you go to this web page, your anti-virus software will probably complain!
