There is a new version of Autorun out now but it looks like the licence agreement has changed which means that I can’t use it on customer boxes anymore. You can use it on your own pc, your companies pc but you can’t load it on another companies pc unless you are employed by them directly unless you purchase a commercial licence. The licence agreement is in the extended entry. This looks like a new change to the utility as the previous version(s) didn’t seem to have this restriction. I doubt that many people will notice this change (or take any notice of it) but it looks like we’ll have to use an old version or look for another utility – msconfig anyone *shudder*
It’s patch tuesday today with two vulnerabilities out, one critical and one important. Needless to say I’ll be looking at these in detail real soon now. Of interest is the fact that Microsoft now do an ISO of all the security patches available which is updated each month. This might be very useful to have when investigating a dial up pc.
Useful list of Microsoft podcasts which I didn’t know they did – there are at least 3 of these that I want to listen to.

DansGuardian is a linux based web content filtering package that I’ve never heard of until two blogs just posted about it. Although I’m unlikely to use it for the near future, I’m blogging it now just in case as I do have some people who need web filtering appliances.
Funny Panda’s playing in a playground – I loved the way they slid down the slide.
I got Petra’s Farewell album for my birthday this morning (Thanks Tim and Ruth)and it is awesome. It’s taken me ages to actually listen to the whole album as I keep “rewinding” (that is such an outdated word nowadays) tracks to listen to them again and again.
It’s Petra as I remember them – there are a couple of songs from their recent songs, but most of them are from the older albums which were much better than their last couple. They have a couple of the old members making an appearance – but Louie Weaver is missing which is a shame as he was a very talented and funny drummer.
Incidentally, this post has an enhanced amazon listing for the cd product – something I’m beta testing with amazon.
This has been doing the rounds but I think some people haven’t seen it yet – Real Life Simpson credits. The blackboard and sofa gag don’t change each time you watch it though 🙂
Now this blog, detailing the best greasy spoons makes me really hungry – especially as it’s 90 minutes past tea time and I’m still at work.
