Stop Press

[Ian]

Here's the full quote from the Reg:

"Although that particular glitch is real and irritating, it turned out not to be the showstopper that Apple patched on Friday: others have since uncovered a staggering cock-up that appeared in the latest available open-source code for Apple's SSL security library, specifically in the SSLVerifySignedServerKeyExchange() function.

Aptly, it's a double goto fail; so the code skips a vital verification step when exchanging keys with the server to prove its identity and authenticity. Oops."

If you have an iPhone, iPad, or Mac try loading this site:

It should come back 'access denied' or something similar. If you get a message saying 'If you see this..." then you need to get the update.

   Ian, on your advice I had a look at "stop press" as I have an iPad.

    All I can say is I consider myself "reasonably" capable with computers. But after reading the last few posts I scratched my head and made a cup of tea.   Read it again. Scratched head again. Read them a third time.

    How on earth have you accumulated all this knowledge?  I really struggle to get the gist never mind put it into action.    Mike

Mike and Yorkie, you guys are WAY ahead of me.... so don't ever feel like you are behind on this stuff.

OK, I'm no great yardstick, but I would hazard a guess that you are ahead of 99% of the population too. 

[Ian]

How on earth have you accumulated all this knowledge?

   A long time ago I used to write games for a company called Sinclair. That's when I learnt how to use Assembler and I've tried to keep abreast of what's happened since. 

[Yorkie]

My first PC was an Apple Euro plus with two floppy drives and a massive 16k of memory!  In about 1980 I managed to write an accounting suite for one of my businesses for this computer.  Due to the lack of memory i had to code each document or entry and go to and from the disc drives where the information was stored to retrieve data.  This machine was interfaced to an electronic typewriter on which all the printing was done.   Those were the days!
I used the ever popular BASIC language.   How things have changed since then!
 

There was a form of internet mail called something Gold, but I never got to use it.  Maybe Ian can remember.

[Michael]

  For me Ian has hit the nail on the head quote "tried to keep ahead of what's happened"

   You read a few mags, wander around on your PC etc for a few months, and begin to think you know a little bit about it. Then for whatever reason you become diverted to another interest (going to pub?)) and you leave it alone for a few months.

  Come back and you are in a different tech world

A major crime in Craig-y-Don today !

Someone stole my green garden waste recycling bags...all six of them ! How low can you go !!!

Anyone living near a No35 where there is a sudden appearance of the said bags with a large black felt pen number 35 on , can you please pass on my sympathies for their presumably desperate financial standing that they can't afford to buy their own.Must have a large garden though !

Happened to me twice Dave. I put mine out on the junction of Church Walks and North Parade because if I put them outside mine further up North Parade they weren't emptied. Twice someone thought they were lost and gave them a new home. Off to the Library £1:50p each for the replacement bags and I now put them out on Hill Terrace where a much nicer class of people reside.

"South east Rhyl ward Cllr Blakeley, who retired from the Wirral to Rhyl in 1993, also said the town boasts Rhyl FC, the popular Vue cinema and the Pavilion Theatre, which is often packed out with Christmas pantos and stars like Marty Wilde, a Michael Jackson tribute act and others."

And people complain about Venue Cymru  .

That did make me laugh 
To be fair though I think for the size of the theatre Rhyl does a lot better than VC
