Damn worm!!

[doyle]

If I ever meet the guy who created the blaster worm I would like to:
1. shake his hand and buy him a drink, because I'm undeniably impressed at how damn annoying and widespread the thing is.
2. and then cover him in papercuts and toss him into a tank full of sharks.

I have a laptop that's virus-free, so I'm fixing the PC. To everyone I owe comments, betas or, err, a story for the iconography challenge: between double shifts at work (we're refitting the store) and horrible viruses (virii?) I haven't been online much. I grovel and beg forgiveness and I hope to get caught up in a few days time.

Surfing in through friendsfriends... I have an informational post about the Blaster worm and cleanup and prevention, written for the nontechie reader here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/elke_tanzer/222545.html
Feel free to pass the URL along to anyone that might find it useful.

Second, I noticed another of your posts asking for PotC recs... http://elke.slashcity.org/potc.html

Hang in there, and good luck with the de-worming!

You already know who created the Blaster worm. You WRITE the culprit. :D

Blaster worm? I can't copy and paste right now, must be what it is.

I like number 2. Credit cards are fun too, although not as sharp.
