I seen this item on TechRepublic, one of the many email subscriptions I find actually usefully and informative. This blog article talks about some generalizations about IT people in an attempt to help IT Managers understand the nerds they have working for them and how they think. Although the entry calls them IT Pros, I don’t believe in being that politically correct when I know myself I’m one of these people being managed. (A nerd, an introvert, a logical thinker, a problem solver, and well I try to be technically creative)

It appears as though those wonderful spammers who brought use the Google “I’m feeling lucky” url abuse, have now found a new site to abuse, Verisign. Basically what the spammers are now doing is using the site search feature on Verisign‘s website to mask their urls. All they have to do is place their address at the end of “http://search.verisign.com/cs.html?url=http://www.spamsite.com/” and it is enough to mask their site. I don’t think it will be long before the phishers pick up on this one.
I’ve also noticed that some casino site is now using the Google “I’m feeling lucky” abuse with the search phrase “"million megabet from casino online" Magic Jackpot!“
My previous post about the Google abuse has been updated to reflect the new phrase.
UPDATE
Verisign have now blocked this re-direct, anyone trying to use it will now be redirected to the Verisign site search. Thank You Versign for taking positive action.
I was browsing around randomly and I found a very strange government website in Australia, Toilet Map. At first I was skeptical as to if it was a real site but low and behold it is exactly what it says it is, a directory of public toilets in Australia.
Apparently Microsoft Excel 2007 can’t do it’s times tables. Microsoft employee David Gainer, has posted on the Excel Blog that when computer users try to get Excel 2007 to multiply some numbers, and the result was 65535, Excel would incorrectly display 100000. Gainer said Excel makes mistakes multiplying 77.1 by 850, 10.2 by 6425 and 20.4 by 3212.5. Gainer said the bug is limited to six numbers from 65534.99999999995 to 65535, and six numbers from 65535.99999999995 to 65536.
Microsoft is currently trying to address this problem.
UPDATE
Microsoft has now addressed this problem with a patch
