Hey all you Windows-using people… Be sure you run Windows Update and get all your updates and such. Some of the recently released bulletins from Microsoft (specifically MS05-011 and MS05-012) point to some pretty nasty things that could be lingering on the horizon. I’m sure you don’t want your machine randomly infected just because it’s sitting there connected to the interweb.

(Gee, can you guess what I’m working on today?)

      Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com with IE and go through the updating stuffs.

    Kinda ironic steve that you mention the updates, my computer just now informed me it was ready to install new updates lol, kinda eerie

      Heh. And to think that people had been constantly complaining that automatic updating is a bad thing.

    Thanks for reminding me. I had heard Microsoft was going to be releasing some updates today, but nearly forgot about it until I read your post.
