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.

    Just when I spent last night thinking that my site traffic had slowed down somewhat since the outage this weekend, Chris mentions me in Today’s Lockergnome along with seven other blogs that he visits but which aren’t well known. (And are very good by the way!) Thanks Chris, and thanks for stopping by all you…

    Thanks to everyone who either left a comment or posted on their own blog their congrats for passing the A+ exams. It may not seem like such a big deal to some of the ubergeeks out there who passed theirs years ago, but it was an important first step in spiffing up my resume and…
