“To Test Security On Your PC, You Must First Make It Inherently Insecure”
WTF??? If you go to Symantec’s Online Virus Scanner using most browsers, you’ll be told that you need to use Microsoft Internet Explorer to continue! Isn’t this just asking for trouble? It’s like saying, “Yes, we’ll check your house is secure. Now just unlock your door…”
Just plain weird.
Re-Arranging The Flat
Yes, the the rumours you’ve heard are true – The Flat has been rearranged. In a mighty effort (and with the help of Claire, Paul and Bryn), we’ve pretty much ‘mirrored’ the room widthways. This change provides several benefits:
- Space saved has been reinvested in floor space and room for two sets of shelves.
- Computer equipment is no longer stored beside the sink.
- Instead of not being able to reach any of the shelves in the flat, Claire can now not reach merely some of them. =o)
- Computer monitors are now not affected by the magnetic fields of the stereo speakers.
- Webcam has a better view of the room, and possibility has been opened for a second webcam to be added (Troma Night veterans beware!).
- Less stacking of boxes.
- More space for seating at Troma Night.
- More space for games on…
