Centennial

Posted on by

Well, today is a special day. (Short-bus kinda special to be sure, but I’ll take what I can get.) This is the 100th post on this blog!

I was tempted to delay for a couple days to hijack the upcoming fireworks for my own celebration, but was too impatient :) So instead, we’ll just throw some out right now.

[BOOM]
“Ooooh!”
{POW]
“Aaahh!”
{POP-POP-POP-BANG]
“Pretty!”

That’s right, folks, we here at the Diary spare no expense when it comes to our celebrations.

(We now return you to our regularly scheduled boredom.)

Gee, didn’t I just say this?

Yahoo! News – U.S. Steers Consumers Away From IE

The Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team touched off a storm this week when it recommended for security reasons using browsers other than Microsoft Corp.’s Internet Explorer.

The Microsoft browser, the government warned, cannot protect against vulnerabilities in its Internet Information Services (IIS) 5 server programs, which a team of hackers allegedly based in Russia has exploited with a Java script that is appended to Web sites.

There ya have it folks.
