Off to a rocking start

This week is shaping up to be as good as last week. Our Positni filters redirected hundreds of copies of the Sober virus into our quarantine over the weekend. I’m glad they all got detected and redirected but all of those emails in the quarantine means it takes me longer to go through and make sure nothing got quarantined that shouldn’t have. Seriously, what do we have to do to keep people from opening attachments and getting infected?

Also, email to this domain is not working today for whatever reason. The email servers my host uses are unreachable as are the database connections I use on the Child Abuse site. I do not know why or what happened…

Update: Email and the DB connections are working now. Still no word on what happened this morning.

First there’ll be Gnomedex reports, and pictures. I won’t be doing the real-time blogging that others will be doing, mostly because I can’t pay attention…

    Maybe not for you, but it is for me. One of my favorite bands of all time is calling it quits. Midnight Oil lead singer Peter Garrett has decided to call it a career and “take up challenges outside of music”. Ironically enough for a band that struggled to get the recognition they deserve outside…
