Interesting links and notes on updates to my main website.

I was over at my friends and being helpful (and obsessive) I tried to run their Windows Update
"Windows Update is looking for available updates... 0% complete"

Hmm. So I spent several hours the past couple days trying to get it to work - changing WinXP settings, defragging the hard drive...

Turns out it's a Microsoft problem. Fvck.

There's some sort of interaction between standard settings for Rogers and Shaw and Windows Update.
That also explains why I didn't have the problem on my WinXP box, since I set up the connection to Rogers myself, none of this "automatically detect settings" stuff.

I should have just gone to Google Groups and done a good search first I guess.
The group is microsoft.public.windowsupdate
