Norton Safe Web presents the Dirtiest Web Sites of Summer 2009

Symantec’s Web site ratings service Norton Safe Web presents the Dirtiest Web Sites of Summer 2009 — the top 100 infected sites based on number of threats detected by Norton Safe Web as of August 2009.

Norton Safe Web analyzes sites using signature-based file scanning, intrusion detection engines, behavioral detection and install/uninstall analysis to identify security risks including phishing sites, malicious downloads, browser exploits and links to unsafe external sites. In other words – dirty stuff you don’t want on your computer!

Hitchhiker

I picked up Armani on Rt 11 yesterday, at a spot that turned out to be about 2 miles from his house! He must have taken himself for quite the walk.

I eased off the shoulder of the road behind him, & as soon as the door was open he jumped into the back seat without my even having to ask if wanted to go for a ride.

He's lucky enough to have a tag with a phone number, so I was able to get him home, though he must have been lonely — he got back into my car three times before I was able to leave!

A very friendly (and large) guy, I'm happy to have made his acquaintance.

Black Tea Energy Drink.

Possibly my new favorite!
Amp Energy with Black Tea is not too sweet, with a hint of lemon in the black tea. And who doesn't like a nice glass of iced tea?
The lose points, though, for having a flash based web site that is thoroughly inaccessible to any non-mouse user.
Like all of the amp drinks, though, & most brands for that matter, the can is more than anybody really needs at one time.
Red Bull, Guru, & Blue Sky are still readily available in the 8 ounce size, which makes them perennial winners.

New Netbook Ready for Action

The HP-2133, with the default installation of Windohs XP Home on it.
It runs great with Linux on it, but I was having a devil of a time getting the resolution set up on an external monitor, or getting decent output to a printer!
When I have more time to dig into the X11 config file, I'll try it again, but it's not something I can get to right now, as I'm trying to create a Windows XP installer with SATA drivers for the wife's new Dell notebook that came with their Linux install on it.
