GMail Hacked: Check Your Filters (Dec 26)
I read this article on Digg but it needs to be spread as far and wide as possible. There was apparently a GMail exploit in the wild that let someone hijack your email. This guy lost his domain over it!

WARNING: Google's GMAIL Security Failure Leaves My Business Sabotaged

The very short version is that you should check your GMail filters NOW to see if you have any stray entries in there.

UPDATE: Enough people helped to spread the word and contacted GoDaddy.com that they got involved and David got his domain back! Details here.

Stay At Home Servers: Your Geek Christmas Present (Dec 24)
This is a great page if you're looking for a laugh during the holiday season. Don't miss the book at the bottom right. The Colbert clone isn't bad either.

Stay At Home Servers: America's Talking

This is an ad for Microsoft's server solution, but don't forget the Linux alternative if you're cheap like me. :) There's Kubuntu, Centos, and much more out there.

Looking for a last minute present for your favorite geek? Go buy him or her a cheap new box to use for an at home server. Don't forget to bundle in a nice big disk for a network share too!

Hat tip to Ted Neward for the link!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.
