Computer Associates are again launching free antivirus and a firewall too for a year. They stopped their innoculan a while back but have got back in the business again. Might put this on Kristens laptop.

I’m sure most of you know that blogrolling got hacked/corrupted over the weekend with every link on a blogroll pointing to Laura’s site. Unfortunately there were some sad people who attacked her personally, thinking she had done it. Anyway, looking on a lot of the blogging and comments about this issue, someone pointed out MySQLinks which looks like it does the same sort of thing as Blogrolling, but you host it on your own site using mysql and php includes (I guess). Looks like it will be something I need to take a look at in the near future….
A nice list of Outlook tutorials which might be handy for educating our users on how to use outlook properly!
Neil posted about Vanity TinyURL’s where you see where tinyurl/yourname takes you. Mine, takes you to the amazon site for the collectors edition of Transformers Series 1 on DVD which I think is rather cool and geekish 🙂
…when cpanel can stuff your site up for you instead? Cpanel issued an update to the software that a lot of hosting companies use to provide easy facilities to their clients. Unfortunately there was a major bug in the latest upgrade which came out on Thursday night (or thats the first I have heard it affecting someone) where a lot of the modules that used to be installed with the system were no longer available. As a result people who have used various modules to access their mysql databases etc have had their pages broken. It took my hosting company a day to fix it on their servers as they have had to go through and work out which modules are needed. The good news is that apparently there is a script that analyses the pure perl files and works out the dependencies and installs them but this does need someone to run this analysing script. Also the perl repositories are problably going to be hammered with all the hosting companies downloading the various files that are needed! There are Control Panel support forums but you have to register to even view the data (and I can’t be bothered).

Anyone know of a media player(/skin) that will preferably run with the screen turned off on a laptop that will stop or start the audio stream by pressing any key on the keyboard (preferably the space bar). That way I can listen to mp3 cd’s in the car…….
I uploaded about 150 odd photo’s this afternoon – a selection from the photo’s taken last weekend. We have loads of pictures of Bath, pictures of Flat Stanley in Bath, Gerraint and Izzy’s photo’s and the yFriday concert at Derby

I did my first BlueJackq in the office the other day and the recipient had a very puzzled look on his face. Unfortunately i’ve not been anywhere else where I’ve found a bluetooth enabled phone. Most of them are permanently turned off as it drains the battery quickly. Still here’s hoping for some more sometime soon.
