Cryzip Trojan Encrypts Files, Demands Ransom
Virus writers are coming up with new ideas and writing better code, but they still can’t write a simple english sentence.
The Trojan, identified as Cryzip, uses a commercial zip library to store the victim’s documents inside a password-protected zip file and leaves step-by-step instructions on how to pay the ransom [...]
plastk:net – Quake 3
That looks like it’d be a lot of fun. Reminds me of running doom back in the day with 3 computers and 3 monitors.
Our lab also has a 24 monitor display wall, and as you can see from the pictures below, I got Quake 3 running on it. The system is [...]
one red paperclip
I’ve posted about this before, but thought this was worth an update. So far he’s traded all the way up to a pretty sweet sounding recordind deal with Metal Works Studios in Toronto.
My name is Kyle MacDonald. I started with one red paperclip on July 12th, 2005 and I am making a [...]
The $39 Experiment: Asking Random Companies for Free Stuff

LXer: Why People Like Linux
I’m not agreeing with everything he has to say, but the article is interesting and certainly describes some of the reasons I choose Linux. If you haven’t tried it yet, check out Ubuntu’s Live CD on any PC. If you can boot from a CD you can play with [...]
PVR works great! Now if only I was deaf…
Cool idea, but he should have gone with MythTV instead of using Windows.
I started out with a 1952 Philips TV console that I picked up for $40 at an estate sale.
I ordered the DVD Recorder/VCR combo from Woot a bit ago.
This image shows most, but not all of he story. I’ll write a new post when I get the package and can tell all of the story without being too slanderous.
FedEx QA called Tuesday at 9am to verify the address on the box and [...]
TechCrunch » Exclusive Screenshots: Google Calendar
Michael over at TechCrunch has some screen shots of the upcoming google calendar. Looks sweet, and I am waiting eagerly for an open beta.
I am now in possession of screenshots from Google’s long delayed new Ajax calendar application, which will be called “CL2″ (the CL2 login screen is here). [...]
