A bit behind on the news, eh?

The first comp. gave everyone user level access on the system, which no one would do with their Mac. This later one (that I posted) shut everyone out completely and in 30 hours no successful attempts at hacking it happened.

With user level access even I could take down a system! Just not quickly, but I still could.

Ya, well I've been really busy. The log home business side of my life is chewing up all my time right now. Every one wants estimates like yesterday and it invariably requires hours of work to turn their drawings into something I can submit for an estimate. The funny thing about selling log homes is that I spend more time on the stuff I don't earn any money from than I do on the stuff I do earn money on. :brickwall Maybe some day soon I'll be able stay on top of the 24 hour news cycle again. ;)

No. I just keep up with Apple and Opera. :p

I do read News.com every day, but that's because homeroom time is so pointless. :p
