I'm starting to see a lot of referrals to various blog posts from theloanmecca [dot] com/linkexchange/############. Following the link takes you to an empty page. Anyone know what's up with this?
It looks like at least one 'referral' for every post. A couple posts have 2, all starting around 6:50 pm today. Weird. No comments posted that I can trace back. Just weird.
I am almost excited to see this program available for Pocket PC. This is the program that nearly kept me from switching from my Handspring Visor to my Dell Axim. I almost stayed with a Palm device when I found out this was not available on Pocket PC.
As far as password keepers go, the Palm version of this app is the best one I've ever used. I've had several on each platform, and this one carried me through several years of Visor usage. SplashData's products are very well designed, easy to use, and inexpensive for the features you get. This program also comes with a desktop edition that syncs to the Pocket PC.
I say “almost excited” because since I switched to my Axim, I found FlexWallet 2005 Password Keeper from Two Peaks software. FlexWallet is everything I liked about SplashID, and on the Pocket PC platform. I probably won't switch from FlexWallet to SpalshID now that SplashID is available for the Pocket PC, since it's a real pain to migrate all those passwords. However, if you are looking for a new password keeper, you owe it to yourself to get the trial versions of both of these and see how they compare. Come back and add some comments once you've tried them.

*********************************
A new attack is making the news and when that happens, people go wild so I though it would prudent to release a rare bulletin.
Two things: First this is an IIS 5 attack. Microsoft has released a statement that sort of says the attack exploits vulnerabilities that are fixed by MS04-011. However they do NOT go so far as to say that applying MS04-011 will definitely fix the problem.
News articles can be found at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5290386/ and http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/06/24/HNnewattack_1.html
But the real details are at http://isc.incidents.org/
Snort rules can be found at http://snort.infotex.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Stable/VIRUS_Unknown_IIS_Worm?r1=1.7&only_with_tag=MAIN
Microsoft's typically introverted response is http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/download_ject.mspx.
If you have problems and/or want to discuss or report issues, please join the IIS 5 discussion list at www.iislists.com. Further bulletins will be coming as the facts are determined.
Thanks,
