If you haven’t heard about it elsewhere, then hear it here: if you run IIS 4.0 or 5.0 on Windows NT or Windows 2000, there’s a security patch you should probably install.

I was disappointed when MesoAmerican Saucermen didn’t come up. I guess I sewed up that timeline too tightly.
Is it true that U.S. and Canadian federal law-enforcement agencies have a voice-activated system connected to local telephone networks that activates and records telephone conversations based on certain keywords? I only ask this because a reliable source told me so. However, I am very skeptical because I can’t believe any government agency has the authority, let alone the technology.

An airplane dropped $40,000 worth of the Dyn-O-Gel granules into a cloud 10 miles offshore. A television station’s weather radar confirmed the cloud then lost
moisture.
“The people in the tower visually confirmed that there was a tall buildup and the next moment it was gone,” said Kevin Sullivan, control tower supervisor at
the Palm Beach International Airport.
Spammobile On The Road
=================================
Pork shoulders and ham parts. It’s Spam, and fans consumed more than 1 billion cans of it last year. That information–plus free Spamburgers–were doled out
at Beloit’s Hormel plant on Tuesday as part of the first local appearance of the Spammobile.

Teen Gang Attacked By Otters
=================================
River otters attacked a 17-year-old houseboat vacationer, biting her and puncturing her skin more than 30 times, officials said.

Happy Birthday
*hugs* to one of my LJ daughters.
Same trouble as last night. Stuffed nose, gasping for air way of waking up.
Not good. If it happens again tonight, I’m going to the doctor to try in figure a way to stop it, immediately. Fatigue is beginning to set in.
Anyhow, good morning. I’ve already showered, and opened up my sinuses… but, for me, with a steamy shower comes wakefulness, not an opportunity to go immediately back to bed. (Plus, my hair’s wet. Do I sound too much like a sissy when I say I can’t sleep with wet hair? It’s not comfortable for me.)
So, I’m going to read more of my book, stroke Newt, and have an early breakfast.I wish the local Theatre around here had some movies playing at this hour, I’m sort of in the mood to see something on the big screen, although I don’t know what. Just an urge. (Not that I want to get dressed or anything.)
Dang… now it seems that when I reply to e-mail LJ messages, it doesn’t recognize my password. I can do it local, but not across the e-mail… what’s up with that?
