I'm looking forward to NLL lacrosse in January. If the lockout is still on, that'll probably replace my hockey fix. It is, after all, rather similar.

Until then, I have found myself watching some of that World Series of Poker stuff. It's fairly entertaining. I've seen the odd non-NHL or classic NHL game.

I have yet to watch more than a few minutes of any NFL or NBA game this season but I did watch some CFL playoff games back when that was on.

I forgot about college sports. They get little interest up here. I was about to say that it includes our colleges too but perhaps I should go a bit further and say especially for our colleges.

I'm lucky to have an AHL team in the city where I live at. I only go to 1 game a year, but I need to go to more games. I have started to play more hockey games to past the time. I'm currently playing NHL Hitz Pro. I do have NHL 2k5, which I'll play once I'm tired of NHL Hitz Pro. At least they are meeting next week. Its better then nothing.

Wait...you mean there actually was a Hockey league?......with professionals?

oh yeah I remember now guys like Gordie Howe, Wayne Gretzky, and Mario Lemeiux used to play right?

since those days I haven't cared much about professional hockey so it can stay gone as long as it likes

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
