Technical Tidbits

I received 966 of my Microsoft Award Promotion winning e-mail this morning! And I won it in their Microsoft New year Bonaza EMAIL DRAW! (Their spelling not mine!)

I guess they really wanted me to make sure I know I won!

And in case I didn’t understand what a winner was, they made sure I knew I was also a wenner! (I guess that’s better than being a whinner or a weiner!)

Here’s what it said:

See how I traced the sender back to a poor schmuck running a botnet in Canada.  View the details here: http://mice.org/microsoft-award-promotion.html

If anyone knows TomTS in Barrie, Ontario Canada, tell him to clean up his computer!

Point him to my post about the free botnet removal tool from Trend Micro!
