Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

How to secure Windows on a High Speed Connection
I have a dual-boot system. Sometimes I boot into Windows 2000 (though not if I can avoid it.) However, I recently set up my DSL connection and worried about how to secure Windows so as to minimize my exposure. After a bit of research, I found an "almost" foolproof method of making Windows secure while using DSL. I say "almost" because it does require manual intervention. If you're curious, here are the steps, from Linux:
- su
- At the grub prompt, select Windows but do not hit 'enter.'
- Quickly reach over and turn off power to the DSL modem.
- Hit 'enter.'

Both have there charms. I'm trying to move all I can to linux and setup camp there, with a firewall.
The only secure computer... (Score:2)
Then someone told me that the only secure computer was one that was turned off.
But that wasn't good enough for another friend, who said I would also have to encase it in concrete and drop it into the ocean, and then maybe, just maybe, there wouldn't be an exploit.
