I've been getting notes from people wondering why Citibank would be sending me a Trojan Horse. The answer is that they haven't been, the email I got was forged, but that is trivial. Anyway, Citibank is investigating, though, I don't know what they can do. ... Well, that reminds me, it's been over a year since I last checked up on the citibank sites and notified them of their website problems. I told them about their XSS security problems, some of which they fixed, some of which they didn't. When you find a security problem on your site, you should fix it everywhere.

Received a nice little email from "service@c2it.com" with subject "c2it Account - Updates, please log in for details" The email itself was a nice C2IT page, complete with images from the c2it.com site. It looked great, except that it wasn't sent to my c2it account email address. In fact, this email was a Trojan Horse login, directing any c2it logins to http://www.paypcl.com/c2.php, which, I'm sure, captures your login info and redirect to c2it.com. In the end, don't trust email, especially from c2it.com. Update: Yes, I notified C2IT about this message, and maybe now they are looking into it.

Ten things to do today besides watch televised memorials. I hope to be doing at least few of these.

There is a very nice Cartoonist Tribute to 9/11 that is up at WebComics.

I've gotten a few requests for pictures of my brothers garden that made it to the paper (see 9/9 update). So, here you go, here is one big picture.

Here is my belated story on the NYC Tri. Glad I learned a few things and did better on the next one.

Speedwell Triathlon finished! I met my goal of breaking 3 hours at 2:59:00 or so. I swam much slower, but at least I ran much faster. Pictures and times coming soon. In other news, my brother's garden made is being covered in the news.

Well, I'm about to take off for the Harry Potter Tri (AKA Speedwell). I Launched AIMnews.com to keep up on the instant messaging world. In other great news, I made it onto my companies Chase Corporate Challenge Championship Team! We will compete next month in the international even on Park Avenue, here in NYC. Wish me luck at both these events!

Spent this raining weekend doing some fun things. Went to the US Open for a day (saw Kuerten beat Safin, Roddick beat Sluiter and Hantuchova over Majoli), did some biking in the rain and launched my new robot interface for Infigon. Now I just have to get ready for my next Triathlon this Saturday. Much to my dismay, it's being called the Harry Potter Tri.
