Is your ISP patched against the DNS cache poisoning ( US CERT advisory ) exploit? There are confirmed attacks in the wild . My ISP is patched. I asked them, and actually got an intelligent response. They escalated my ticket and a day later came the response...
New broadband installation is complete but was not without some pain. That's not really surprising as domestic providers aren't really geared up for supplying businesses. The line was swapped over by about 10am and I promptly got a text message...
TiGra Networks is having a broadband upgrade this week so we'll be offline for perhaps a day while that happens. We'll be completely off the air for a while and there will be a bit of disruption while we install the new equipment and update our...
Silverlight 2.0 is going to change the web so much. I've just completed an experimental blog theme for Community Server that uses a Silverlight masthead. You can view the finished result over at Grace's blog . The Silverlight masthead was created...
My ClustrMap has just been archived, which means that my site usage will look a bit empty for a little while until you all pay me a visit. ClustrMaps does this annually to stop the image turning into a read smear. I've suggested to the team at ClustrMaps...
Our blog/forum/file/photo gallery server, based on Telligent Systems' Community Server , has just been upgraded to Community Server 2008. We had a few initial teething problems that seem to have been caused by outdated/missing binaries in the Upgrade...
I've just solved a problem today that was driving me crazy. I use Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and have been trying to set it up as an Internet Facing Deployment so I can use it from my hot-desking office. Everything worked as expected from inside my...
An interesting project to measure UK broadband providers is being conducted by Samknows Broadband. Volunteers can sign up to receive specially modified Linksys routers that collect performance data and 'phone home' with the results. Until now...
Microsoft has launched its World Wide Telescope project , a free downloadable education/science application from Microsoft Research. This interesting project brings together lots of disparate data sources and also references another technology that I...
I'm convinced that Silverlight 2.0 (currently in beta) is going to be the biggest thing to come out of Microsoft this year. Amid all the hype of the 2008 launch wave, Silverlight is almost getting overlooked, but to me, Silverlight is going to be...
OK, I just blasted Microsoft for forcing me to use beta quality software at Virtual Earth. I resolved to check out the competition and - guess what? Oh my goodness, beta quality software. Plus, check out the license terms and conditions: So that means...
I was using Virtual Earth today at maps.live.com when I tried to switch into 3D mode and received this message, shortly followed by a UAC prompt as Virtual Earth tried to automatically upgrade me to a beta version of the software. I didn't want to...
I just did a hack for one of my customers to stop one problem employee surfing on Facebook all day. While I'm no fan of blanket barring of web access, in this instance we needed some simple, short-term measures that didn't warrant any real expenditure...
I attended a seminar a few days ago that explored current and emerging uses of technology and communications in business. The event was hosted by Rhondda Cynon Taff Business Club . There was a presentation by Light Age Communications on what's currently...
It seems there is an instant messenger virus at large at the moment. The virus sends messages similar to these (the URLs are deliberately obfuscated): "Hot or Not? hxxp://mymsngallery.my.funpic de/viewimage.php?youremail@someplace.com" or "this...
