News Clippets

Firstly, I would like to confirm that Marilo is alive and well (unless someone else is using her mobile - video phones would be able to help here). Yep, I received a response from the long-time-no-see malagan after wishing her the best for her birthday (yesterday). Apparently she gets so scared of computers that she is developing an allergy to keyboards :)

A few IT bits and pieces now. Anyone who has actually done the dirty and installed MS Windows XP will find along with the numerous critical updates that have been coming out, when searching for files on your hard drive it tries to connect to the internet to transfer information. Now do you trust them?
And for people that believe their work systems are secure, read this report of people giving out their passwords to complete strangers at Victoria train station. Combine these two articles, and the next time you are on the tube you may be hearing the person next to you telling his mate about your unusual search requests. Makes me feel safe already.

For the first time last night I saw a film in which I could not understand a single word. Yep, I visited the Electric Cinema (the oldest running cinema in the country) to see a canadian film called Atanarjuat, which was all in Eskimo!!. It beats icelandic any day :) Great film, by the way (but prepare for 3 hours), definitely worth seeing.

That's all folks.
