Won Again

We won again at hockey, that makes two wins in a row which is ace. Though we played against the same team which was Winnington Park but i think the 6ths are coming into their own finally especially as we now have some young blood in the team with besides myself 3 or 4 other University of Chester players. Its making all the difference the extra pace and fitness. Well hopefully in january we can make it three wins in a row. :)

In the end we won 3-1 which is respectable, though not as good as our land side victory of 5-4

Internet Explorer fails

Internet explorer has failed again, well in recent days a flaw has been found in internet explorer 7, 6 and earlier versions which could at could let hackers gain access to their computers and steal personal data, and told them to swap to a rival browser.

The flaw was spotted last week when hackers started attacking users of IE 7. The flaw, however, has also been found in earlier versions of Microsoft’s browser, IE 5 and IE 6.

Because Internet explorer is used by seven out of every ten computers in the world, the flaw is potentially very serious.

Microsoft is trying to put together a patch, but in the meantime computer users have been advised to update their security settings or switch to unaffected browsers such as Firefox or Opera. Come over to the light side i say, come over to firefox. Users of other browsers have been saying this for far too long that internet explorer is flawed and now we finally have some proof:
