Some random tech news:

An Interesting Global msg on mirc-x today: -Global- We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to make sure your computer is fully patched and behind a firewall. Nearly all versions of Windows are currently exploitable due to a recent bug, and the only way to protect yourself currently is to use a firewall. Please see www.zonealarm.com or www.tinysoftware.com for some software based firewall solutions. Thank you.
ZA is my fav firewall (maybe because i’ve never tried other firewall programs Tongue) and and i’ve had no complains using it. If you wanna test your pc, go here and click on ‘common ports’ or ‘all service port’.

Cool stuff: Wakthrough fog screen.

A long article on PHP5, could be interesting, I haven’t start reading it yet…

The new version of Mozilla Calendar finally works fine in my computer. They’ve fixed the GUI bug in the previous version. Its good to be able to schedule stuff and have a reminder, specially when you’re in front of your computer a lot.

Btw, livermouse posted that Kenshin will be released in Graphic Novel format, not in magazine. Hikago will be the one replacing SandLand in ShonenJump.

S.W.A.T. movie was released today. The newspaper says its good, maybe I’ll see it this weekend. Anyone seen it yet and wanna give comments? No spoilers pls…
