11:42 AM - firewall

I'm having a heck of a time configuring the firewall for this box. I locked out dns on my first attempt (lookups to the outside, inbound worked).

I've got the TCP rules in place, but UDP is a pain. I need to set down and figure out all the rules. Then i will need to reorder them after i see what rules get hit.

11:44 AM - Worm and Microsoft Update feature!

That internet worm was interesting. I looked at the analasis done by several people on bugtraq. Very interesting work.

Microsoft is planning on enabling automatic update in the next release of windows. It will force upgrade your box and if you disable it, your warrenty will be void. (meaning support options)

Whats worse is they might roll it out for XP in the next service pack. Mine is setup to download updates and notify me. That way if my box crashes, I know it was the update. I can use a restore point and not apply the patch again.

11:48 AM - foolishgames.com

I just added content feeds to foolish games. RSS content is now available for all the jewel news. :)

Most of the people using my site won't even know what it is.
