Gartner Group: Dump IIS -- 2:56 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The Gartner Group is advising businesses to dump IIS as their webserver and switch to Apache or some other alternative in view of all the recent worm attacks. Of course, if you don't patch, it doesn't matter what webserver you use, you'll be vulnerable. Thanks Slashdot.

OS X Wolfie Today -- 11:08 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

id's Graeme Devine updated his .plan with word that the "official" version of the Return to Castle Wolfenstein multiplayer test for OS X will be released today. Here's a snip:

Well, I've been getting a few hundred emails a day from people testing the OS X build of RTCW. Thanks for ALL the feedback, unbelievably positive. I've done my best to keep up with all of you in replying, but this morning, with 413 still unread, it's a wee bit daunting. Thanks also for all the icons, wallpapers, and so forth.

I'll be putting up a full public installer today. We've moved the network protocol on internally, which makes making a compatible builds from here on in much harder, but a bunch of the bugs found by the OS X testers helped greatly in tracking down general bugs for all platforms.
