Strange Days, Mongolian Death Worms and Time Travel
Hello again, and welcome to the blog ... Well since the last time we spoke its been a week of two very distinct halfs. On monday i had to relocate my desk as mine was needed for another purpose, so i've taken up temporary lodgings in the IT room. Now I dont know if its all the electronics in the room, or wireless signals from the routers, or maybe its just built on a Ley Line. But since sitting here i think i've become slightly insane. I've been joined in this decent into madness by Julie who's been sat oposite me most of the week. We are still undecided as to whether or not its the lack of human interaction or just our infantile minds. The slightest things seem to amuse us, culminating in the pinnacle event, which was the use of the word "idiosyncrasies" being used twice in two days, and a two hour debate about the spelling of maintenance. I know, what a wacky lot we are,
(just been informed whilst typing this that i've spelt it wrong again) PS corrected now......
For the past two days its all been about worms again, not the Mongolian Death Worm, something far more sinister. The little bleeder that infected our computer system in 2009 and reared its ugly worm shaped head again, And in the process caused nearly every computer in the building to go wrong at some point, And my hairline to receede a little bit more. After a couple of days of disenfecting and patching i've just about beaten it. As Charlie Sheen once said "WINNING !!" (Note to self, tauting viruses on the internet might not be one of your smartest moves). Which neatly brings me into a slight rant. I mean why do these people, who are obviously some of the cleverest people on the planet, make and deploy these viruses into the wild. For what reason does someone, who is clever enough to invent time travel, think that its a good idea to write a virus that hijacks a pc and adds it to massive bot net, just so they can send you a spam email about cheap canadian Viagra. I mean seriously talk about wasted talent. "ooh look i'm a world class programmer , but i'll spend my time drawing penises....." Rant Over !!
No animals were hurt during the making of this blog ...... well unless you count the few chickens, cows and fish that provided my meals throughout the week. and the partially splatted remains of a squrrel that i ran over the other day. OKAY I lied .....A few animals may have been hurt or even killed during the making of this blog.
