wmf worm temp patch

via khaosworks:

Public service announcement. You may have heard of the latest WMF exploit for Windows. This is serious stuff, people -- you may think you're not vulnerable, or that it won't happen to you, but it can, and it's just so easy to do, and it gives complete control by an intruder over your computer. Everything.

So rather than wait for Microsoft to get off their asses and patch it up by January 10, by which time Lord knows how many people will get bitten, you might do well to be just a tad paranoid and get the unofficial patch.

For just what the WMF exploit can do, see http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/archive-122005.html

And the unofficial patch can be found at:

Details from the author of the patch at http://www.hexblog.com/index.html - You can uninstall this patch when Microsoft releases the real one.

Just got notices from Newegg. Computer parts will be here today and tomorrow! YAY!!

Okay, and now I'm late for work.

work; computer; sga links

So. Work was.. you know, work. Spent a lot of the morning waiting for the boss because she wanted me to do something with her in the shop. At around 1pm, so called and asked me what I was doing because she wanted me to do stuff in the backroom -_-;; Eventually made it back a little after 2pm and cleaned more shelves. I'm scared of doing inventory. Glargh. Tomorrow I've been asked to go in at 10am and... who knows when I'll be leaving. I bet I'll be working Friday as well. Meh.

I got a bunch of my computer parts order in today: motherboard, graphics card, HD, DVD burner, and... RAM for Talyn! :D Which I installed all by myself ^__^ Well, okay, not all by myself, seijitataki helped a bit. I thought I was going to break something trying to get it in, but I did it and Talyn is humming along. It doesn't take a gazillion minutes to load at start up, which was driving me nuts. And programs actually load immediately when you click them. *is happy* Talyn's now equipped with 768MB of RAM ^____^

Speaking of the new machine, I'm still being dorky and trying to think of a name of it. Choices so far are Schrodinger or Natira. I'm leaning towards Natira (which would make both my machines Farscape themed) since the box looks sort of like this.

In SGA news, devildoll linked to an old interview with Reese Thompson, who played Jinto in season 1. The interview itself is good, but the best part is the picture of Reese with Joe Flanigan at the cast party. Scruffy Joe. Guh.

Also, hermine made a McKay/Sheppard manip that is pretty.

Rainbow Sun Francks is in a new CBC show called This Space For Rent. You can watch the first episode here - wmv, streaming. The buffering on the file is horrible. If anyone finds a torrent, let me know. One of the leads was that... kid from the zoo in Wonderfalls and Kea Wong playes Jubilee in X2. The 10 minutes I've watched so far is... amusing. Rainbow is so damn funny in it.

Edit: I am such a... whatever. Right-click & download the video.
