New Bugbear Worm Wreaking Havoc -- 9:14 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Bugbear.B is making the rounds, using the standard IE/Outlook exploits. This one particularly seems to be targeting financial institutions. As always, look out for unusual email and don't run attachments (stop me if you've heard this before). Hoorah for Outlook! Thanks Slashdot.

Bleh -- 1:26 pm CST, Update by The Master

It's been a while since I've thrown a 'bleh' up here, so here's my big day (ph34r). Been doing a lot of system changes at work, and in the process a co-worked pointed me to a great search-and-replace app called Actual Search & Replace. This is great stuff for Windows developers who need a decent search program cheap. Most of the ones I've tried are either simple grep analogs, or they are insanely expensive. This one is cheap, and works well; highly recommended.

Been playing a little UT2K3 again in my spare time. I really need to play some gametypes other than double domination. I LOVE the DOM type. It combines the team play I like along with the simplicity of a king-of-the-hill type feel. I just wish there were more good maps for the type -- there's tons of DM/CTF maps.
