oops I did it again..

Interesting today another bum driver - a silver grey small people thingy nearly ran down a woman in front of me just past Goring-By-Sea shops. The woman in question was recklessly standing in the road dressed only in a full length dayglo jacket and holding a pole with a sign on the top saying CHILDREN CROSSING. The cheek .... fuck me!!

Nobody killed me today..... so far

Today was the first day in over 2 weeks that I haven't had a close call on my ride to work. A couple of days ago my rucksack was clipped by some woman taking her kids somewhere in a "people mover" and just after, I passed her in Richmond Road where she was parked up talking to the White Van driver who's wing mirror she had just smashed!! what can you say.

is that the time?

Blimey, been busy and not had much time to do anything. I did however get a chance to compile my wardriving results into a map so in an effort to get people to wake up and smell the roses and actually put at the very least 64bit WEP on their wireless I will publish the map of those APS showing those secured and those nice and open for the world to peek in!.. Now I am not encouraging peeps to go and sniff these networks but with the recent BBC program on BotNet attacks showing how they rely on idiot computer users who irresponsibly use their PC's on broadband without any protection I think we need a little encouragement.

There are countless tools out there to protect users, firewalls like ZoneAlarm are free as is antivirus AVG or Avast and with Spybot S & D and Ad-Aware there is no excuse for not protecting your PC. There is of course commercially available options from Symantec and McAfee so
NO EXCUSE!
In addition not protecting your wireless is inexcusable given that all support WEP and even with it's vulnerabilities in enough for most.

COME ON PEOPLE!!
