Keeping Your Wireless Network Secure
:
Easy network access is good, but not if uninvited guests get into your digital business and wreak havoc. Today we'll show you how to lock down your network so that access is still easy for the invited, but not for the party crashers.

GeorgeWBush.com :: Official Blog
:
"This blog will serve as your personal guide to the campaign to re-elect President Bush, with breaking news, grassroots updates, and posts from campaign leadership." Realizing the popularity of Dean's blog, Bush has decided to follow suit. Dean's is more, uh, "blog-like", but Bush's is just starting. Interesting to see the political candidates leveraging technologies. Oh, and they both appear to be using MovableType, although Dean's site is the only one to post a link.

Introducing...Blogware!
:
Today marks the end of the "stealth period" for the blogging software that my employer, Tucows, has been developing for the past few months. It really wasn't a terribly stealthy stealth mode -- thanks to the magic of referrer logs, Scoble found Boss Ross' blog, which had just enough info for him to deduce that a new blogging tool was being built. Roland Tanglao then found out, and made an announcement that Ross had started his own blogging company and had hired me as an evangelist (I picture myself as a younger, goofier, programming-and-accordion-playing Guy Kawasaki). Although not quite correct -- and hey, I can't blame him, we Filipinos love to gossip (or as we say "get our tsismis on") -- Blogware became known to the general public. (Meryl)

Unpatched IE security holes
:
This page is a list of vulnerabilities that remain unpatched, it is our hope that the increased awareness brought forth may help further the research necessary to properly secure them. Vulnerabilities listed on this page work (among others) with the latest versions of Internet Explorer, with all patches installed. Until proper patches have been provided, the only fix to some of these vulnerabilities is to disable scripting. (Meryl)

802.16a Around the Bend
:
Canadian company Redline Communications says it has the first product that complies with 802.16a: The standard covers non-line-of-site metropolitan area networking using the 2 to 11 GHz range which includes licensed and unlicensed frequencies. Redline says its gear will deliver 70 Mbps throughput as far as 30 kilometers. Companies have been trying to use wireless to deliver Internet access to homes and businesses for ages it seems but have always failed (remember LMDS and MMDS?). Those folks struggled because it was tough to find good non line of site gear at a reasonable price that could be installed simply. We'll see if these new standards solve some of those old problems....
