We are just back from staying in an idyllic 13th century manor house in Le Mesnil Jourdain, Normandy. So much gite for so little money, Ikea meets antiques. And it even included “wee-fee if we could log onto the Negeer”, said the nice French lady. Read more

Week thirty-three of hell for a Mac user working in XP purgatory. The last seven days have been mainly trojan time, along with forgetting the Windows password on a seldom-used but important PC. Read more

Is there anything worse than the hypocrites who insist on organic, forgetting the food miles their Scottish salmon cost compared with the line-caught mackerel from the end of the road?

1 Enter a competition run by Microsoft where the other computers on offer are a Sony Vaio running Vista or Fujitsu laptop running Linux, which apparently no-one seemed greatly interested in winning.
2. Three weeks before the competition try to break into a MacBook Air and on finding it secure, spend a week preparing what is rumoured to be a Java exploit in a web browser.
3. On the first day of the competition, continue trying to crack into the MacBook without success.
4. On the second day of the competition, go to your website where you have left the file you prepared in advance. Download the file and let it run on the computer. Surprise, surprise, you’ve gained access to the computer which you have just won and the $10,000 cash prize as well.
However, you did gain access. The guy trying to crack the Vista machine took another day and he used a Flash exploit to get in.

It is a good bet that as astute IT Pros you control who puts a cookie into your computer (and if you don’t you should). Sneaky Macromedia devised a whole new type of cookie storing up to 100k of data, these are Flash Cookies. Never heard of them? You have now.

There are some questions I haven’t seen asked about the two missing data disks and more pertinently, the data held on them.
