Newsfeeds working, really!
Okay,
Now the newsfeeds are really working. I guess most of the sites that allow newsfeeds don’t like it when you refresh more than once an hour. They actually cut you off for 72 hours or so. Since I let enough time pass, they are now allowing me to read the sites again.
In other news, it looks like the msblaster virus and it’s ilk have won out over Microsoft. Microsoft has had to change the IP address of windowsupdate.com, and now a number of ISP’s are blocking outbound access to the site all together. This must be Microsoft’s idea of being proactive. Hopefully they will come up with a better solution for the next DDOS worm to come out.
