Slugcity Portal 1.0
Today was looking at the way Yahoo's homepage is laid out, and was wanting a page that was customized to only the things I wanted to look at. I don't care about Yahoo Auctions, or Yahoo Chat. 95% of Yahoo is crap. I also wanted to search Google, but look at news stories, and other websites I look at daily.
There is this nifty little programming language called XML which allows people to share "headlines" with each other. It allows you to view news stories, blog topics and some other cool stuff with a little programming knowledge.
So I built me a little page to do all this. It's called Slugcity Portal One Point Oh.
I've made it my homepage, cause it's customized to me, but feel free to make it your own homepage. Version 2.0 will be coming soon....
Click on the below link to take you to the Slugcity Portal.

Novarg.A worm virus
The W32.Novarg.A worm is spreading rapidly throughout the internet. Reports indicate that this is a much, much worse virus than the W32.Sobig.F virus that hit a few months ago. It has been estimated that the Novarg worm is attached to one out of nine emails sent.
Symantec has the following information on this worm:
It is highly advisable to update your virus definitions immediatly if you have nt done it in the past day or so. Also set your PC to run a virus scan nightly for the next several days (the virus spread is supposed to peak today). And as always, don't open attachments from someone you don't know. In fact, do not even open the email to read it (if it contains an attachment). If you have any questions regarding this virus.....post a topic in the tech forum, and one of us will do our best to help you out.
If you think that "this won't happen to me" you are mistaken. I have been hit with this virus 7 times in the past 24 hours on my home PC. That means, I have had 7 emails containing this virus.
