Could blogging spread computer worms?

Could RSS feeds become a conduit for the transmission of computer worms? Security experts are at odds over the possibility. Those who play down the threat point to the fact that no virus has ever used the propagation technique.

"I've been really excited about RSS for a while. I think it's a great innovation that will shift a lot of focus away from the user towards automation. This may have it's drawbacks though. Overall, RSS/XML is exciting, BitTorrent is exciting, but it really depends on what you shove through the feedline."

How to make an RSS Enclosure

OK, kids.  Podcasting is getting bigger and bigger, what with iTunes integration on 4.9 but are you still relying on your blog to provide you with RSS feeds?  If you are running your own site (which is admittedly high-labor/low result), than you may want to take a look at this article to get an idea how to create an RSS feed on your own.  Sydication abounds when you can create your own feed.  I haven't done it myself yet as of right now but I will soon.  You know I do have a podcast but not a direct feed from my site www.joshmills.net just an indirect link from the RSS/XML fed teamjosh.blogspot.com.  Check it out kids.  Enough for now, I have to get ready to go to Covington, GA.  Gotta love southern women.

Google's Summer of Code program

The Summer of Code is Google's program designed to introduce students to the world of open source software development.

This sounded like a really cool opportunity (SP?) for coders to hone their skills and maybe get paid for it. I'm not too great with different languages but I thought an open-source intro was the way to go. Too bad I missed the deadline.

Damn Time Zones

Ok. so I admit I haven't been around in a while. Most of that has to
do with the fact that I don't have access to the Intar-Web in my room
right now (that is until I drill some holes in my apartment and void
my security deposit) but some has to do with the fact that I've been
working on some labor-intensive shows. Right now I'm working on NBC's
Three Wishes with Amy Grant. Check out:

http://www.nbc.com/nbc/footer/Three_Wishes.shtml for more details.

I've just returned from a very successful trip to Farwell, TX and
Clovis, NM. For those of you unfamiliar with west Texas, Clovis and
Farwell are separated by about 7 miles, one state border, and one
timezone. Yup, that's right. The two towns we traveled between
daily were only about 7 miles and one hour different in time zones.
What an infuriating experience to figure out which time is in which
town and whether or not you told them the timezone or whether they'll
figure it out on their own. Keep tuned to my MoBlog for the awesome
pics of myself, Mandy and Traci Green on our rocking excursion to the
Southwest. Until then, I'd better get back to work.

Ok, I know I haven't posted anything in a while, let alone anything personal, but I've been busy and now I don't have an internet connection at my house. So anyway, check out my MoBlog for semi-current pics of my co-workers birthday party and soon to come Viva Las Vegas, again. Until then, check out this person's house that is a real life replica of The Simpsons house on Evergreen Terrace.
