OneCare

Apple M$ malware

From a Microsoft press release:

The dynamic nature of the Internet and technology can make the protection, maintenance and optimal performance of PCs a challenge for consumers. Keeping a PC "healthy" today can be daunting and time-consuming for the average user.

They forgot to add “if you run Windows”.

OS X has no need for ‘OneCare’, since the problem does not exist.

BlogsNow malware

Spammers use blogs. Massively. Spam is always massive.

BlogsNow has to deal with this. Sometimes this sucks, and sometimes it’s actually an interesting challenge: How quickly can the results be cleaned up. Today it was easy:

results before filtering

results after filtering

website move

this weblog

So many sites, so many servers. But all but one (blogsnow) sites are now on the new server. Network Solution did a pretty good job in updating the DNS. For the ones where they hosted the DNS already they got the new IP out in less than the promised two hours. The ones that had a non-netsol SOA took a little bit longer, but by now (24 hours into the move) they also seem to be 90% done.

Remaining tasks:

move of blogsnow
qmail installation (still looks very complicated)

new server / new blog software

On this server I will use wordpress for my weblog.
A slightly changed ‘Kubrick’ design.
I will not convert my old weblog.
