We have “computery things” to do this week! TWO Geek Culture entries this week! Wow! Net Neutrality and the forces at work to destroy the vast wasteland that is the Internet! A RETRO Internet! A RETRO filmstrip-style video… watch it here:
Weird video of a guy called “The Computer Man” that is selling Mac tech over PC tech… made over 10 years ago. He told his boss that if it made the front page of Digg he would eat his milkman hat that he wears in the video. Check out the video here:
MS-Paint as a web application. Amazing web version that is almost “pixel-perfect” in it’s replication of look and feel of the RETRO paint software! Christopher Clay used HTML, CSS, and Javascript to write this. An e-mail to the Doctor asking for a higher end version of MS-Paint. Richard wants to know if there is something that is like Paint but has better features… and of course, yes, there is! It is called Paint.NET! Check out Paint.NET HERE:
The beta of Version 3.0 of Paint.NET rocks! Microsoft reports a Zero Day exploit of Microsoft Word… and says, get this: “Don’t use Word!” Wow! There are currently NO patches available to fix this! SCO is evil, and their lawsuit against Linux is DYING! Novell may have the last word! Good is triumphing over evil! James Kim and his family and the story of what happened over the past few weeks. They found his body this past week and though his family was rescued, but he didn’t make it. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Geek Software of the Week: a-Squared Free to find trojans and worms. Free, excellent, and a great addition to your arsenal against malware! Last item of the week: Microsoft has 6 security bulletins for Patch Tuesday this coming week! There will also be a patch to fix a problem with Visual Studio! Use OpenOffice.org! The Doctor is outta here!
