hmmmm – my Musicmatch Jukebox now seems to insist on playing audio cd’s when ripping them to mp3’s. If thats an “update” i’m going back to the original version I downloaded. Anyone else had this problem?Update The online help says to delete mmcd.ini and the drives will reconfigure. I’ve done that, but it still records in real time….more hunting needed I think.More Updates Found the solution – tick the box which says “Mute whilst recording”. Pretty obvious really. I am sure that was turned on with a new upgrade or something.

PGP8a is now available in beta format, but the beta expires 6th december and after that you won’t be able to access the encrypted data – what is the point in that? There is no incentive to put this on the pc if I can only send test files – this is no real test of the software in a live environment!
Google have 189 pages from this domain in their cache and can therefore search it by using the following information. Do you think this is any good? (it doesn’t link to pages on my other websites, but I really must get them linked into this domain one day!
Went round a friends house tonight to try and get a 13mb Publisher file onto someone else’s computer with no modem or network card. My first thought was to use my URDisk in the USB port. Unfortunately they are running 95 which I don’t think supports USB and they also don’t have any usb ports! It should be illegal to run pc’s like that nowadays 🙂 Still they’ll never have a virus on the pc! They had tried to winzip span information across multiple disks but had had problems extracting it at the other end. In the end I extracted it onto their pc so they could print it out and I took a copy home to stick on a web site so the final recipient can download it off the net!
Gio Internet have made a big mistake in that they (allegedly) copied Pipex’s Terms and Conditions to use on their own site and forgot to remove some references to Pipex (which is how they were spotted – after all, how many people actually read the small print?). Pipex are saying that they are going to talk to their lawyers….shame their lawyers cant talk to Pipex when there has been pretty bad connections at weekends for the past few weeks and remind them of their terms and conditions. From my past experience when someone nicked my website, its easier just to contact the host/upstream provider and get the site pulled 🙂
Arggghhhhhh – the jdbgmg.exe hoax virus is going around again – I’ve had two “warnings” from well meaning friends in the past couple of days and I know that at least one of them deleted the exe file 🙁 For more information go to my past article
I was looking to buy a book from Amazon in the uk on web security. The american price is 35dollars, amazon in the uk has it for 38pounds (what sort of currency conversion are they on????) and (Books On Line) in the uk have it for 28 pounds – a much more realistic price conversion. The only drawback with is that you have to buy another book in the next six months, but I think that is very likely to happen AND they only charge one pound postage per book. They do not have as big a range as amazon though. Sorry for not purchasing through Blackwells though Kelly!
I have been using the XP system a fair amount the last week or so and had installed the web accessories that enables you to do various right click functions such as view all images linked in a page. However, when I tried this particular function it never worked. Apparently there is a bug in this, and you need to press F5 to refresh and all the images appear. I tried it and it worked! There is also a bug in the zoom functions too!

Tried to use 192.com this morning to search for someone, and it is no longer possible to get access without either paying, or signing up for loads of junk email – NOT impressed 🙁
