So I ended up not going to Houston as I had planned. I’ll have to check presale tickets earlier next time I guess. Thats the second time I’ve missed Frankie Bones. Hopefully, there won’t be a third.Spent the weekend in Austin as usual. Visited Star of India and pigged out on their buffet. Curry is good like that.Watched the Super Bowl at a friend from work’s place. I still don’t really give a shit about football. The worst part was that a lot of the commercials sucked too. I don’t understand why Visa paid $1 million just to show an ad they’ve been showing for a long time. The commercials just sucked honestly. Thats ok though, I saw the new Matrix trailer. The new Hulk trailer looked pretty fake, so there goes more hope for that movie.That Sql worm sure kicked the Internet’s ass this weekend. It was pretty amusing. The best part was that it required the incompetence of two layers of admins. The first layer, the firewall dudes. Why the hell was port 1434 not filtered? Why the hell does a database need to talk to the Internet? For that matter, why does any traffic have to go out from a company intranet to 1434? Do we not understand what VPNs do? The second part, why wasn’t the patch, which Microsoft called \”critical\”, not applied? Yes, it was a more of a pain in the ass to install using the first package that was released. Yes, I know it involved some copying of data. But why the hell wasn’t it eventually applied? Thats just insane. True, Microsoft got screwed too. So what? Quit blaming Microsoft when incompetent administrators are the real blame.Ok, thats it. I feel better. Taxi Driver is a great movie. Move along, nothing to see here.
