Another night working on the dreaded ASP project, another bitch about some Microsoft UI user-abusivness. Dear access designers, in order to further piss Alan off with the next release of MS Access, please ensure the following stupid bugs and bad UI remain: Not putting somewhere to save password when connecting to an SQL server via […]

On the very day that Dana suggested it, February 18th 2004, I went ahead and ordered the Microsoft Windows Update CD. It allowed 2-4 weeks delivery which I thought wasn’t the best as far as getting updates out to the people, but was better than the 6-8 weeks that most places will give you. And

I’m approaching complete insanity, quite close to snapping. Actually, I think I snapped tonight. I know that if someone came up to me right now and said that they did some bulk mailing I would quite cheerfully kill them. I need a punching bag I think, or some serious happy drugs.

Had a good lunch with Dana today and in the ensuring (computer security related) discussion he mentioned that someone, somewhere had compared Windows 2000‘s defaults services to those of Redhat‘s Enterprise Linux, and found them to have the same number of attack vectors (that’s “vulnerabilities” to normal people 🙂 Since I have no access to
