Fleet News:
New TC Homepage Standards
11:19 - FA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
FA Priyum and I have devised new standards for all TIE Corps homepages in
an attempt to raise the quality of TC sites. All sites are expected to
comply with the standards within 2 weeks (by February 9). Officers whose
sites do not comply within the allotted time face removal from their
current position.
The new guidelines are located at

New Omega Commander

Many congratulations go out to the new Squadron Commander of Omega, Colonel

Internet Issues
04:53 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
There is currently a worm doing the rounds at the moment, which is
impacting the performance of the internet around the world. The worm is
designed to target known flaws in SQL Server, a database application
produced by Microsoft. However, the worm scans so aggressively that it can
actually affect the performance of your own internet experience. Those of
you on broadband will probably be very likely targets and should look at
blocking port 1434 on the UDP protocol if you have firewall functionality
that supports specific settings. Otherwise, a general firewall such as
McAfee Firewall or ZoneAlarm should do the trick. Those who do actually run
SQL Server or MSDE (a desktop version of the server) should check they are
patched as this is an exploit that has been known since July 2002.

A change in policy
04:17 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
Due to the amount of harassment I am getting on IRC from certain parties, I
will no longer be conducting EH business over IRC. I am there to relax. If
you contact me on IRC about EH business, I will ignore you. I will only be
conducting EH business via email from now on.
New Training Board
11:35 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
We have a new Training Message board located here. Cadets are free to use
this board to post any questions they may have about their training where
I'm sure helpful members of the TC will respond.
BG News:
