JPEG Exploit in the wild

Tuesday, September 28th, 2004

Everybody, please update your Windows-PC’s. Last sunday, the first JPEG Exploit was found in the wild.
It seems this one is going to cause major havoc, as it is now possible to get infected by just looking at an image…

Ofcourse, right now it are not exactly images of houses you are looking at :)

ESV Demos

Thursday, September 23rd, 2004

Stumbled upon Martin, a member of my former student association, on my way to work, when he just came out of the bar (note: 6am). God, I miss being a student every now and then.

Spent the first 3 to 4 years of my study practically living at ESV Demos, not doing much studying :) Then suddenly decided that it was time to start studying, and started (and finished) my Masters Thesis in Computing Science in the two years thereafter.

But after graduating, you get a job and everything changes. Almost everything is now crammed together into the weekends (which start on friday-night), and I live by my agenda (”no, already have something then. 3 weeks from now ?”).

Damn, I miss being a student sometimes.
