There’s an interesting security challenge

There’s an interesting security challenge laid down by the MCP Techmentor summit on Security where they invite you to hack their webserver. The hacking attempts will be recorded and analysed at the conference and later published on a cd rom. Sounds really interesting – just wish I could have got to the conference! Hopefully i’ll be able to get hold of a copy of the results via work!

I wish my digital camera

I wish my digital camera was working 🙁
We had a new addition to the family called Milo – a tabby kitten about 8 weeks old. Winston and Frankie are being the older brothers and not sure how to react to him, although he reckons he rules the roost (at least when he’s not asleep that is!) Unfortunately the digital camera won’t focus and take pictures and I can’t get the webcam to capture the images – they appear ok in the picture program, but it won’t save individual pictures – however, keep an eye on the web page as I doubt it will be very long before he stars on his own web page.

Nice to see that BT

Nice to see that BT are on the ball. Today I got a letter saying “I wanted you to be one of the first to know that BT Broadband is available now. In fact, you could order it online today, even before the service is advertised on TV”. Seeing as though i’ve had broadband for two weeks I think their marketing people need to a) check their customer database to send stuff out to eligible people and b) make sure that their customer services/marketing peeps are one of the first people to know when technology is available. Yet another reason why BT are incompetent.
