Microsoft patches its Windows Mobile Daylight Saving Time patch

Windows Mobile clockWindows Mobile clockWindows Mobile clockMicrosoft has issued yet another Daylight Saving Time update for Windows Mobile devices. This patch should fix a problem with the patch released last week.

So let's review. First, Microsoft posted instructions for manufacturers to develop their own DST fixes. Then some enterprising power users decided to make their own updates rather than wait for their PDA manufacturers to do so. Next, Microsoft finally puts out an official update, but it appears to have a major bug in it that could wreak havoc on your appointments for a few weeks.

And now there's a real, honest to goodness, official update that you can (probably) trust, less than a week before Daylight Saving Time begins. Whew.

Anyway, if you haven't updated your Windows Mobile device yet, now's probably as good a time as any. Remember to follow Microsoft's instructions on this one. There's a few bits that aren't intuitive. For example, you have to change your time zone and then switch back to your current time zone before the update takes effect.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
