Techies Reshape 9/11 History. The 9/11 Commission Report was a best seller the moment it was released, but Internet users find several ways to make it more accessible and useful. By Staci D. Kramer. [Wired News] For the technically minded, this covers some interesting ways to get the 9/11 Commission Report onto your web site.  It also has links to the actual PDF that the GPO pushed out in case you haven't been able to get a copy of it yourself (and if you are really lazy, you can get it directly here). Now go and read it before the lawyers, politicians and others who feel you have too many rights get to work taking them away from you. 1:21:47 PM    comment []

A New Worm to Get Bugged About. The latest worm in a record year of computer viruses attacks through Web search sites like Google and Yahoo. Damage appears limited to the search sites themselves, mainly slowing down service. [Wired News] I owe an apology to the folks at Google - based on what I was reading it sounded like the site got the virus, rather than it being a simple case of a denial of service.  Too bad there isn't a good way to prevent that from happening in advance. So what are you doing to PREVENT viruses from spreading?   1:16:02 PM    comment []
