Lest I forget...
May. 16th, 2005 08:09 am... I bought one of those 1G USB memory sticks on the weekend. The second thing I did with it (once I'd used it to help get ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
atara's computer upgraded) was load it up with a buttload of music. It's nice to be able to listen to MP3s at work without the contending with a CD ROM drive that sounds like a jet turbine spinning up.
Speaking of contending with things at work, either one of our staff, or one of our clients appears to have been hit by a virus/trojan. I'll normally see one, maybe two pieces of external Spam show up in my inbox in a typical month, but in the last two days I've had 31 messages come in, each from a different address, and all of them in German. Some sample subject lines:
"Volk wird nur zum zahlen gebraucht!"
"Graeberschaendung auf bundesdeutsche Anordnung"
"Paranoider Deutschenmoerder kommt in Psychiatrie"
"S.O.S. Kiez! Polizei schlaegt Alarm"
I have got a couple of (presumably faked) bounced emails, suggesting that my machine had attempted to send out a few bazillion messages. I'll do a full system scan this morning to be safe. For the moment I'm keeping all the email rather than deleting it outright because I'm curious to see how many I end up seeing before they manage to shut off the tap.
