With all the media hype about conficker, I thought you might like a good collection of trustworthy resources. Beware of websites that have recently registered as “conficker help.” In fact, just avoid them all together. There’s also reports of malicious software masquerading as detection and cleaning tools for Conficker-infected computers, as well as spam offering the same.
There’s no need to try and figure out what’s safe or real and what has more sinister plans in mind. The good folks at dshield.org have been keeping an updated list of third party information on conficker. Here you can find plenty of free conficker detection and removal tools, general information and the microsoft patch. That should help keep you updated, safe and informed.
I’ve also found out about one other real neat way of detecting it, but it’s for more advanced users, so I’m going to make a seperate post about it.
It was 20 years ago Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. Not quite 20 years to the day, but close enough. In this Ted talk, Tim talks about what is the next step in the evolution of the World Wide Web.
Seeing how I’m now running Word Press, it only makes sense that I would tell you about Word Press TV. If you are running Word Press, or are just thinking about using it, you owe it to yourself to give this site a look.
Even though it’s only been up for maybe 2 months, there’s a lot of great content. There’s plenty of How-To videos, for beginners to advanced users. There’s videos about administration, set-up, widgets, publishing, media, plugins, themes, custom design, and more. There is also a section of videos from Word Camp.
I wanted to write about Word Press TV when it first went live, but I haven’t actully spent any amount of time on it, untill recently. Most of them are using vimeo to host their videos, so the quality is execlent. Theses aren’t some junky, pixalated Youtube videos. They are high quality and when I viewed them with HD turned on, the screen captures of in the how-to videos was perfect and crisp and easy to read the all the text in the videos. Even when not in full screen or HD you can read them easily. If only everyone made instructional videos at this quality. Check out the example below.

I was looking for some keno games for my wife and thought I’d share with you what I found. There’s quite a few out there of course. I’m no keno expert, however if anyone is, she is. So I’m gonna let her pick the best. And the winner is Mike’s Freeware. There’s single and multi-card versions. And quite a few to choose from. Not only are the prices very reasonable, the 4-card keno (pictured above) is only $4.44, there are playable demos that you can download. Still not interested, did I mention that there are several completely free versions. If you care for keno at all, these are worth checking out.
If there are any keno games out there that you know about, please let us know in the comments below.
First off I’d like to say sorry for not updating like I should. I’ve taken over as the video editor at work and have been working like crazy. It’s been exhausting but I do love the work.
So speaking of videos. Unless you’re still on dial-up, you’ve been to youtube, googlevideo, collegehumor.com, break.com or any of the other zillion video content sites. Now there is one for video gamers. GeeVee.com is a cool video game community site. You can choose from lots of different categories of user submitted videos. Ever want to prove to the world that you are the master of your favorite game? Perhaps you want to see how to complete a certain level that you have been stuck on for a week. Would you like to demonstrate your Counter Strike pwnage? Ready to show off what you and your clan can do? There’s also sections for secrets, glitches, reviews, and unreleased games.
GeeVee is not just for PC’s, there’s Xbox360 and PS3 video games as well. If you would like to post any of the videos on the site, they include a line of code that you can copy and paste to a website, forum, or blog. The video quality is also superior to youtube, which I will now demonstrate below with a trailer from Metal Gear Solid 4
