I hope this month ends like it did last year.

Hmm, if this works, I'll have a backup voice post-thingie, in the event that LJ's phone post poops out. Hmm, sounds like I'm a little congested this morning.

(via audioblogger)

aha, that's interesting. good to know.

Most laughable new Icon I've seen of late... Snape doing the L'OREAL hair- whooshie.

Pretty interesting stuff... the first instance of a bluetooth virus, that can spread via nokia phones.

EPOC.Cabir

EPOC.Cabir is a proof-of-concept worm that replicates on Nokia Series 60 phones. This worm repeatedly sends itself to the first Bluetooth-enabled device that it can find, regardless of the type of device. For example, even a Bluetooth-enabled printer will be attacked if it is within range.

The worm spreads as a .SIS file, which is automatically installed into the APPS directory when the receiver accepts the transmission.

When EPOC.Cabir is executed, it:

• Displays a message (see the "Technical Details" section), then copies itself to a directory on the phone. (This directory is not visible, by default.)



• Runs from this directory when the phone is restarted, so that it continues to work even if the files are deleted from the APPS directory.

Once the worm is running, it will constantly search for Bluetooth-enabled devices, and send itself to the first device that it finds.

There is no payload, apart from the vastly shortened battery life caused by the constant scanning for Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Also Known As: Worm.Symbian.Cabir.a [Kaspersky], Cabir [F-Secure]

Type: Worm
Infection Length: 15104 (caribe.sis), 11944 (caribe.app), 11498 (flo.mdl), 44 (caribe.rsc)

Systems Affected: EPOC

Systems Not Affected: DOS, Linux, Macintosh, Novell Netware, OS/2, UNIX, Windows 2000, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP

GP notified me of Sue Dibny getting killed in a recent storyline. Are my priorities screwed up when a fictional character's death bugs me more than Ray Charles or Reagan's?

Ah well... in comic books, nobody *stays* dead... and I hear the story is well-written.

Maybe it's because I hate to see any loving couple wedged apart... I don't know much about RC & Wife, and I fear that Nancy lost Ron quite some time ago to Alzheimer's. I've followed Ralph and Sue's life off and on since I was a kid.

interesting dreams last night. I'll transcribe my notebook later. memory points - old west/deadlands?, stink, pearl diving, Larp/TV, my sweetheart, gp, katt, dan, pam, switchblade, "transfer disorder", "sours", car drive, shirt change, darts

is it a safe bet..

that since i don't know what blue tooth is, i shouldn't worry?

well i can't see why reagan's death would sadden anyone but family or friends. if ray didn't affect you in anyway, why should you feel bad. as you said you've vested time into this fictional character. it makes sense that it affects you more.

bluetooth is a form of wireless communication between devices. if the don't jave anything that looks like a runic "b" on your computer equipment, I wouldn't sweat it.
