So, after being on vacation for a week and coming back to work, I realize that I can't do this anymore and really need to get out. Unfortunately, I kind of made a gentleman's agreement with my boss to stick around for another year. He would like me to stay longer (not out of any [...]

So, someone has finally put 2 + 2 together, using vulnerabilities in MS's IIS to infect IIS servers, which then infect people who visit them through unpatched vulnerabilities in MS IE. The result?

I was doing two things at once and logged out not realizing that I still had logjam opened with lots of stuff written and hadn't hit submit yet, so I lost it all. The nutshell is that Liz and I went shopping yesterday, and I bought some DVD's and a new desk to replace the [...]

Saturday, I ran errands, paid bills, and cooked food for Sunday. Sunday a spent the say with my parents at their house. My dad fired up his smoker and we had some wonderful smoked meats.
