  • Microsoft February Patch day advance notice

    Microsoft has given advance notice that next Tuesday they will be releasing 7 updates for Windows, as many as 5 of these will be tagged as critical. The Security Fix has a bit on the advance notice as does Sans. Looks like one of the critical updates will be for Media Player, 4 for Windows itself and 2 updates for Microsoft Office. A reboot will be required for some of the updates.

  • What a week….

    I think it’s time to pass along a long story of what’s gone on over the last week or so here and some of the reasons there hasn’t been anything posted. Generally, I would say that work has been busy, but something happened last week that went a bit beyond the day to day and there might be some items worth considering. The short story is my internet access was suspended and I’ve been only connected to the internet for 30 minutes or so at a time to retrieve mail and spent dozens of hours reviewing system logs…. but the long story is needed to sort out what has happened. I’m not going to break this up into multiple posts, but I may pull out some details for seperate posts at some point.
