It’s been a while since I posted on here, sorry about that – blame college work and just plain forgetfulness. Anyway, I am back with a quick update – of which is some photos from mine and Laura’s trip to Alton Towers (yes, again). We went for the Scarefest, which was just fantastic.
Anyway, some quick pics:
Hehe. 
I got my AS results last week, and I got the following:
And I also got an E in Business Studies, but I have since dropped that as I wasn’t very good at it and it bored me somewhat.
I was really suprised about my Media Studies result, as I didn’t think that I did very good in the exam. All-in-all, I am really happy with my results.
I am finally back from my holiday in Wales, of which I went with my girlfriend and her parents. We stopped in a small cottage in Aberporth, on the Cardigan coast. We stayed there for a week and it was really relaxing, a really nice place. The weather was a bit awful, but we had fun nevertheless. Me and my girlfriend went for a boat ride around the coast of New Quey, hoping to see some dolphins but unfortunately we didn’t. During the trip I got water in my camera, which caused it to start messing up (but luckily it works fine now that it has dried out). We went to Llangrannog for a walk over the coastline, and we had the nicest fish and chips that I have ever tasted – seriously.
I will post some pictures of it tomorrow, for now – I am going to bed. Night.
Hey everyone,
I have just been informed that the KB951748 Security Update for XP interferes with ZoneAlarm, causing the Internet to stop working. To fix it, you can either remove the update (which will probably get installed again next time Windows update runs) or to follow these steps below:
Solution:
Reset the ZA database and the ZA will be “fresh” as when it was first installed:
- Save ZA settings in XML file like usual.
- Boot your computer into the Safe Mode
- Navigate to the c:\windows\internet logs folder
- Delete the backup.rdb, iamdb.rdb, *.ldb and the tvDebug files in the folder
- Clean the Recycle Bin
- Reboot into the normal mode
- ZA will be just like new with no previous settings or data
- Now restore your settings from XML file to recover Zones/Ports/etc settings OR restore your settings manually (add subnets to Zones, etc)
I.E.: Make sure your DNS and DHCP server IP’s are in your Firewall’s Trusted zone.
The Generic Host Process (svchost.exe) as seen in the Zone Alarm’s Program’s list must have server rights for the Trusted Zone.
Plus it must have both Trusted and Internet Access. It must have NO server rights in Internet Zone!The issue and solution applies to all versions of ZA and ZA: Security Suite
Update: ZoneAlarm has issued an upgrade, HERE.
This is a pain in the arse really, it even happened to me – lets just hope there is an update to ZoneAlarm that works fine with this update.
(Thanks to EscondeR and spikejones for the info and solutions)
Update: It seems like it has spread all over the Internet, even the BBC have wrote a report about it HERE.
I haven’t posted in a while, I have been busy with loads of things lately. The thing that is stealing most of my time at the moment is setting up Westfest (an annual music festival at college). This year I am doing the lighting for it, so I have spent the last week rigging the hall with Nick – which still needs finishing at the end of this week. I should hopefully have some photos after the weekend of it as I have been roped in as the official photographer also, as well as a lighting operator all day.
As my old phone has nearly given up the ghost (the screen is messed up and my camera no longer works), I decided to buy a new phone. I went for the Samsung e900, and so far it seems great. I bought it from Cex for £58 yesterday, but I just need to wait for Orange to send me my PAC code so I can transfer over to T-mobile before I can use it.
