Testing w.bloggar
I'm trying out a new offline blogging tool, wbloggar.com. Let's see if this works...
Longhorn error reporting is too chatty?
As I mentioned in today's IT Blogwatch, it seems that Longhorn's error reporting tool tells Microsoft a lot more than it used to. My take: of course it does, it's in beta! Did you really think privacy advocates will let Microsoft get away with this sort of thing in the released product?
Malformed Office docs hide Trojans
David and I talked to MessageLabs' chief architect Paul Fletcher at INBOX/IT before I swanned off on hols. (Yes, for those HP Pinewood or OpenMail old-timers, that Paul Fletcher.) He was talking about a disturbing new trend for high-placed individuals to be carefully targeted with malformed MS Office documents, which contained a Trojan horse. Fiendishly clever.
Seems like the NISCC has figured this out, too.

Writing for Computerworld
| In case you've not noticed, I'm now writing a daily piece for Computerworld, "IT Blogwatch." Subtitled, "The best IT blogs on the net," it's a sort of link blog that covers what's new and interesting in IT, with particular attention paid to blogs and fora. Tips to blogwatch@richi.co.uk please. |  |
