I suppose it makes sense…

So, apparently in the infinite wisdom of the nation’s largest cable television company, Comcast, it was decided that while everyone is confused about the “Broadcast” digital transition in February 2009 - it was the perfect opportunity to have a “transition” of their own for Washington State residents.
That’s right. Lets just get it all done at the same time. Even more amusing, Comcast has invested heavily into their “if you have Comcast, we’ve got you covered” campaign - even saying on their own website “Your Ready Already” if you’re connected to Cable television through their lines. Brilliant.
This article from The Seattle Time’s columnist Brier Dudley goes on to greater detail about it. He thinks we’re about 4-months out.
Merry Christmas!

So this is a new one, at least for me.
Today I come across a nasty malware infection from a computer I’m working on - Something Windows Defender calls “TojanDownloader:Win32/Zlob.ANS”. Sounds somewhat familiar.
I pull out my trusty old Friend MalwareBytes. It removes a slew of stuff. Reboot the machine, scan again, finds a few more pieces, takes ‘em out. No problem.
Then I try to open up a webpage. No love. Hmm… Wonder why? Hosed network stack? No, I’m remoted into the system…
I notice that I can ping to my hearts content. That’s odd. Yet when I try to open up a page it’s almost like my requests from the browser are hitting a dead wall off the cuff… Proxy settings? This network dosen’t use them…
Sure enough, I check and lookie what I see:
So, whatever the flip was installed, was proxying all traffic through itself. Nice. It’s gone now, so no big deal. But I sure hope no passwords were sent whilst it was listening…

No matter what you think of the “bailout” for the “Big 3” – I’m pretty sure this is just universally funny:
“In what he said is a cost-saving measure, Wagoner [GM] decided to drive the 525 miles to D.C. rather than fly, following the public relations disaster after he, Mulally [Ford] and Nardelli [Chrysler] took private jets to the Capitol the last time they appeared before Congress.
Mulally and Nardelli also made the decision to drive to D.C. this time.
Wagoner, who has a salary of $2.2 million dollars this year but agreed to slash that to just $1 in 2009, appeared comfortably dressed in jeans and a sweater.
He waved goodbye after getting behind the wheel of a 2009 Chevy Malibu Hybrid before embarking on the 10-hour drive in the pre-dawn hours.
Wagoner appeared upbeat and said he would do some driving but would also use the time in the car to put the finishing touches on his testimony.
“It’s a good chance for me to do some briefing and return some phone calls as well…on my OnStar, hands-free, by the way,” said Wagoner.”

And we just got in the wrap-around-half-the-store line @ Kohl’s.
Some of the gals that work here say between 1-2 hours. We’ll see.
