Pretty slow day today, sitting at my parents house waiting for the satellite to get installed. After years of complaining about their cable, they are finally getting Directv. I'm still getting tons of virii in my one inbox. Now it's getting to the point where I'm taking it as a personal challenge to figure out who it is that is infected, because I keep seeing "from" addresses that I know. I still don't understand why some mail admins insist on sending "you sent a virus" e-mails. Is spamming peoples inboxes accusing (wrongly) them of sending virii really any better than just clogging the mail systems with the virii yourself? I know they are only trying to be responsible, but we need to take a new approach when it comes to handling virii, as the current approach seems to make matters worse instead of better. OK, enough ranting for today.
