The big time

I guess it’s safe to say that this blog has made the big time; I got my first comment spam today! It was only there about an hour before I saw it and banned the IP (yes I know that doesn’t really help, but it felt good). It only took five weeks for that to happen.
Oh yeah, that Windows exploit that I wrote about? There are seven more that Microsoft hasn’t addressed yet. That gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling…
Not to be too smug, I pooched my Linux install last night, at least as far as using a GUI goes. Text only right now. I found the problem and went out and found how to fix it. Problem is, the configuration is corrupted beyond my ability to repair it. I know that there are smarter people than me who would snicker at the situation I find myself in.
I guess a re-install is in order as I just ain’t as smurt as some people. The question now, do I stick with Suse or return to Fedora? I really don’t care for the FTP install of Suse and Fedora gives you a multitude of options during the install.
Suse looks great but a window manger on Fedora would accomplish that too. This is why I have test machines, plus I love doing this sort of stuff which is why I’m not too broken up over having to do it again.
Now that I have bored you into a coma, I shall close…










Me snicker?? Only if it turns into a Bart Simpson situation: Bam! “Ow!” Bam! “Ow!” Bam! “Ow!” ….
Do it once and it’s considered part of the learning process. Do it on a weekly basis and it’s considered entertainment.
That sounds smug, doesn’t it? Wasn’t meant that way.
