I play Halo for the PC, and every time I get an update I am very excited… last time it meant a big reduction in the activities of team-killing losers, and I bet it will be equally cool next time. Lots of the applications on my machine have updates available, but unless they check on their own (like Adobe Acrobat, Halo, Messenger, and many others) or they check through Windows Update (like my sound card driver, etc…), then the odds are I will never install the patch/fix/update.

Every week, Eric Gunnerson, Dan Fernandez and I get together to work on the C# developer center and other C#-ish topics… and last week we divided up some tasks amongst the three of us. Well, we are meeting again today and I don’t have those tasks done… so I’m starting to watch my back. I’m expecting Andy (above) to show up in my office at any moment with the C# ‘club of motivation’, but perhaps I can save myself before he arrives… with your help.

Ok, you are going to see this a lot today, but my posts go onto the C# and VB home pages, so here goes; Microsoft Consumer Virus Alert Why We Are Issuing This Alert W32/Mydoom@MM spreads through e-mail. This worm can disguise the sender’s address, a tactic known as spoofing, and may generate e-mails that appear to have been sent by Microsoft. Many of the addresses Mydoom uses are valid addresses that are being spoofed for malicious purposes.
