Busy morning

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Just a little busy, have already fielded a number of questions about the SoBig worm and a number of emails that are still hitting our accounts, repaired a Windows NT installation in order to get a laptop booted again, and ran all of our billing for this month, all by 9:10AM. 😉

Angela seems to have gotten hit pretty hard by this SoBig worm. Her personal account has gotten, what is it close to 100 by now, honey? I’ve checked the headers and they all originate from the same IP address! It’s a columbus.rr.com address, if the person doesn’t get this under control soon we may have no choice but to drop a line to abuse@rr.com and ask them to contact the person in question.

    The last post I made to the Child Abuse blog was made using the w.bloggar tool. It’s a nice little tool but there’s one big drawback to using it with Blogger Pro. There’s no title field on new posts? What’s up with that? Maybe the new, currently being beta-tested, version of blogger will fix that…

  • You and end-users

    Interesting little article about dealing with end-users, full of stories about miscommunication between end-users and IT folks. I would have to agree with the conclusion: “Often, end users blame IT for network or computer problems, simply because they don’t know what goes on behind the scene and what causes problems. But sometimes, miscommunication on the…
