Intego Exaggerated the Trojan
Intego Exaggerated the Trojan
04/09/2004 06:47 PMAn article over at
Wired states that Intego has blown this whole
Trojan problem out of proportion. According to experts, The Trojan
(mentioned
here and
here) "...isn't a
working piece of malicious code and can't easily be spread to other
computers. Instead, it is a demonstration of a possible threat." In
response, Intego has apparently changed their story from that of
attacking an imminent threat to preparing for a future threat.
"It is a benign proof of concept that was posted to a newsgroup. It
isn't in the wild, and can't be spread in the wild. It's a non-issue."

Rumors of my death are greatly

Rumors of my death are greatly
exaggerated.
02/01/2005 09:53 PMOkay, first off: I've got a massive MacWorld / Borders / Trip to SF
and back report to write up. It's coming, and I hope it will be worth
the wait. Until I can get it done, there are some wonderful links in
the comments for my previous entry, from other bloggers who came to
MacWorld, Borders, or both.
My short version? It was awesome. It was everything I'd hoped it
would be, and more than I could have ever expected. The drive up was
great, and the drive home (without Anne, because she went over to
Tahoe to spend the weekend with her friend) was lonely, but enjoyable
because I listened to Jay Mohr's book Gasping for Airtime most
of the way. It's a interesting story . . . but you have to hear
him read it. It's the difference between listening to Dark Side of
the Moon and reading the sheet music.
Okay. Enough about the trip report that's coming. Here's the thing
that made me fire up this nifty browser called "Epiphany," and write
these words: I totally, completely, utterly b0rked my Debian machine
before I left for MacWorld. I don't know what I did, exactly, but
somehow it completely lost my mouse. modprobe psmouse and
modprobe mousedev did nothing, and I couldn't find anything
in a single online forum that would help me make my goddamn mouse work
again. I tried dpkg-reconfigure gpm. I tried
mouseconfig I tried cursing in lots of different languages,
and making Faustian bargains with gods I'm pretty sure I just made up
. . . I even taught myself how to recompile a linux kernel (the debian
way and the other way) . . . but no dice.
Finally, I gave up, and decided to just start over with a clean
partition and a new install. So I did mv /home/wil
/mnt/hda1/backedup/, did a diff to make sure I didn't
miss anything, and burned myself a copy of the latest Debian (Sarge)
Network installer.
Oh. My. God. Becky. It was so easy.
Okay. Seriously. Back in the old days of 1999, everyone told me how
easy it was to set Red Hat up, but how much cooler Debian was if you
could just get past the nightmare install . . . well, this was about
as easy an install of anything I've ever done. It was literally
a handful of commands, and then a bunch of waiting while it grabbed a
ton of packages and set them up.
I'm now sitting here with a honest-to-goodness Debian system,
running kernel 2.6.8!
Check it out:
wil@bender:~$ uname -a
Linux bender 2.6.8-1-386 #1 Thu Nov 11 12:18:43 EST 2004 i686
GNU/Linux
Okay, this is probably not as exciting to anyone else as it is to
me . . . but the fact that I got this working, and took all the
HAM radio and isdn stuff out of the kernel, and still got it to
work . . . it's a pretty big deal to me.
I'm logged into Gnome right now,( which I usually don't use -- I'm
a KDE or Enlightenment kind of guy -- but it looks beautiful) and I've
got apt installing Firefox and Thunderbird in a terminal, and then
I've got to restore some of the backups, but I'm very proud of myself.
Until I totally screw something else up, I feel like I can put on my
propeller hat and give it a mighty spin. *snort*
I've got an audition tomorrow morning, then I'm working on the
audio book of Just A Geek in the afternoon. Check back around
Friday for the full SF trip report, and some other cool news.
Oh, man! And if this moment needed to get any better . . . They
Might Be Giants just started singing Ana Ng on the radio behind
me.
