Leopard secure?

Wednesday, October 31, 2007

Turns out the Leopard firewall is off by default.
Even after upgrading from Tiger where I had it switched on, it is now off.
On the face of it, this would seem bad, especially for wifi users who might be exposed to dodgy Windows laptops in the same hotspot. Ironically, a Leopard sporting MacBook is probably safer [...]

Sunday, October 28, 2007

Apple released Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard” this weekend, and the interweb is no doubt awash with its praise… or otherwise.

Good news: at least my programme instructor [...]

Today is a good day. I didn’t kill anyone.
This might not seem so unusual as I didn’t kill anyone in the last 14,616 days either, but today I actually made a special effort not to.

Tuesday, October 2, 2007

There are those that whinge endlessly about their lot - how life is treating them badly.
There must be others who listen to/read this and think: if only my problems were as trivial as yours….

So all problems can be both trivial [...]
