I got an e-mail about an XP update, apparently from Microsoft. I’m wondering if it is for real (I don’t run XP) or if it is a virus in disguise.
Here is an e-mail I got this morning from [email protected]:
Window Update has determined that you are running a beta version of Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1). To help improve the stability of your computer, Microsoft recommends that you remove the beta version of Windows XP SP1 and re-install Windows XP SP1. If you cannot remove the beta version, you should still reinstall Windows XP SP1.
Windows XP SP1 provides the latest security, reliability, and performance updates to the Windows XP family of operating systems. Windows XP SP1 is designed to ensure Windows XP platform compatibility with newly released software and hardware, and includes updates to resolve issues discovered by customers or by Microsoft’s internal testing team.
The maximum download size is approximately 3 MB, however the size of the download and time required may be less for computers that have had updates previously installed.
To minimize the download time needed for installation, setup will only download those files which are required to bring your computer up to date. Windows XP SP1 includes Internet Explorer 6 SP1. Anti-virus software programs may interfere with the installation of Windows XP SP1. Please disable anti-virus software while installing the service pack.
Just run the file winxp_sp1.exe in attach and make sure to restart your PC after installation will be completed.

I don’t run Windows XP.
Being suspicious in nature (yes, about certain things), I can’t help but think that this is a pretty cleverly disguised virus. I might be wrong, though. Does Microsoft send out this kind of e-mail?
If you have similar experiences to share or an opinion on the subject, I’d love to hear from you.
Je me demande comment gérer toutes les sortes de liens qui se trouvent sur mon site/weblog.
Que faire de tous ces liens, je me demande bien? Où les placer, comment les gérer?
Et puis encore:
Si vous voulez nous faire part ci-dessous de vos expériences de vie concernant ces questions épineuses, nous vous écouterons d’une oreille attentive.
This site is now running under Movable Type.
Welcome to what is going to become the new Climb to the Stars.
My battle with Movable Type has been successful, and I’m importing old entries as fast as I can assign categories to them. I’ve set up redirects from the old site so you can already enjoy the new thing.
The design isn’t final, but I quite like the colours. You’re likely to see broken links, shifting content, and other unnatural stuff while I continue working “live” on the design and architecture. Comments and feedback are welcome as we go along, however; this process is going to include a lot of “hit and miss”.
Things not to worry about:
Bonnes résolutions pour 2004.
Deux résolutions parmi d’autres:
Je vais aimer 2004.
At the price of a few frozen fingers, we bring back to you some photographs of our courageous expedition into the snow-covered mountains of western Switzerland.
Un grand merci à Marc qui attire aujourd’hui mon attention sur la citation du jour d’aujourd’hui, si je puis ainsi dire:
Accroche ton chariot à une étoile.
Me voilà donc ravie de savoir de qui est cette citation, et également de connaître la version originale anglaise:
Hitch your wagon to a star.
Je me réveille un peu en panique. Deux jours pour pondre dix pages, ce n’est pas trop long. Sujet du devoir: “Qui sommes-nous? Comment nous devenons adultes.” Le délai de reddition est le 16.
Heureusement, il n’y a de pages à écrire que dans mon rêve. Le sujet cependant m’interpelle. La date aussi: nous sommes effectivement le 14 au matin. Et le 16, alors? Ah oui, le 16, justement… Tout prend sens.
C’est obscur pour toi, ami lecteur, j’en conviens. Ce billet est de ceux que j’écris surtout pour moi.
I’m afraid I might be going mainstream. All my hopes of being somewhat original are in the process of being utterly and totally shattered.
I promised a friend I’d get a TV if she ended up presenting a small show on the local television, and it seems that’s what is going to happen. I’ve been talked into acquiring a webcam.
So yesterday, as I was drooling before a huge collection of underpriced CDs, I figured it wouldn’t do much difference to my case if I put a link to my Amazon wishlist somewhere on my weblog. If I’m going mainstream, might as well go all the way!
Yeah, I got an ebay account, too. And let’s not forget the hair, either.
Note: boys, stop dreaming. You’re not going to see this here anytime soon!
We can change some of the things that bother us about ourselves.
The others, we cannot. We can just be lucid about them, take them into account in the way we live our lives, and do things differently to prevent them from messing things up.
