Welcome! If you're looking for "a computer pro" from the radio... that's me. Here are 6 simple steps to make this website work best for you.
1. A good way to keep informed of what's going on with technology that can effect you, is to monitor my Twitter feed. My latest recent Tweet(s): Suffering from disappearing Tweets? Read all about it in my Tech Blog.
7/29/10 WARNING: the #Android Market contains #malware from the developer IceskYsl@1sters! http://su.pr/4EvzrT I've just found 6 apps.
It's Monday/Tuesday and time to start worrying about CVE-2010-2568. http://su.pr/5HLjIs <- Read more about the Windows shortcut vulnerability.
Still using Windows XP? *screams* Don't get hacked. Let Microsoft fix it! http://su.pr/9iGwAW Just FIX IT! FIX IT!!! #FixIt
7/13/10 is Microsoft Patch Tuesday. Patches? Patches? We don't need no STINKIN' patches. Oh wait... apparently we DO. Windows update time.
Hackers, hackers everywhere. YouTube, iTunes, my PBX http://su.pr/2asBQ2 <-- MacRumors user comments re: iTunes Hackers. Bottom line, don't EVER assume that your password is safe if it's not SUPER secure. Minimum 8 characters, mix of upper and lower case, numbers and a special character.
Apparently... Windows 7 has a critical flaw that is SO bad, a forced restart is necessary after Windows Update on or after 6/24/10.
Trying to find a *convenient* time to apply Mac OS 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 updates. I have like 50 tabs open in 3 browsers!
I just became aware of a new viral social engineering plaque underway. IGNORE any email with open.html attached! Make sure your WINDOWS is up-to-date. Run Windows Updates from your START menu or Windows Button.
Spam is now seeping into my Gmail inbox. This can't be a good thing. It's obvious #spam too.... listed in a spamblog.
2nd Tue/Wed: Microsoft pushes Windows updates SO critical that they force a restart, however do nothing for my complexion.
New attack bypasses virtually ALL Anti-Virus protection. Okay, I have no proof, but when am I ever wrong? Just Google it.
Perhaps if I start smoking cigars and popping Viagra, I'll be slightly less annoyed by the recent increase in #spam email.
Verizon is continuing to implement Port 25 blocking to FiOS & DSL BUSINESS customers in CA today. Nice going Big Red. You're wreaking havoc for my clients that I serve email to. P.S. Twitter is slow and over capacity on 4/27/10.
You know what sucks about Java? The current JRE installer tries to install crapware. Shame on you! Shame, shame, #shame.
WARNING: Farm Town Serves Malware Ads to Facebook Users http://su.pr/1dfFGf Users warned to be on guard for trickery in links. Do not click on unknown links in ads.
Guess who's a Mac developer now? That right... I am. As if I didn't need another reason to party. "ixNay on teh PadiLay."
Don't just shorten the URL, make it suspicious and frightening with ShadyURL.com Here's mine -> http://5z8.info/banned-in-the-US_i0d5m_10101110010110101001
3. A Computer Show is my MicroCast. QIK little videos about computer stuff... (and other stuff.)
4. Of course, sometimes I feel restricted by 140 character micro-blogging, so I also have a long form blog. Don't worry, it's not that long. That's why I call it my Mini 'blog. Worthwhile reading, because I wrote it.
5. Finally, I have a links page. Self explanatory.
6. You may want to sign up and follow me on all social networks that I frequent. Then you can reply back and have my updates sent to your cell phone. When I know... you'll know. Some of the info is technical... some is just plain silly! :)
