3 hours sleep... hey a body only needs 4 right! 1 to go... The internet is great isn't it? Nimda or Admin spelled backwards... what does it do... hmmm it attacks with a ferocity not seen in any virus before it. Once it's payload has been delivered it attacks 16 known exploits out there. It also tries the land and air approach... you can get it by opening an email, you can get it by opening a web page, hell you can get by sitting there with nothing going on but a web server and before you know it... during the morning yesterday we became infected.
7:45a I notice one of my office mates machines kept trying to load a web page(ours) and this annoying box kept popping up and starting media player with an invalid file...wtf
7:50a I pop up VI and take a look... hmm there seems to be some extra code in the bottom of this page. No sweat remove it save it done...
7:54a Oops that didn't fix it? Let me look ... oh I must not have hit save. There you go done...
7:55a WTF what do you mean it's back already! uh oh!
7:56a Norton AV Center, Mcafee, VirusStalker, Cert hmmm no mention of the symptoms...
8:20a groups.google.com someone is having the same problem and this just now posted!
8:45a Let me walk next door to GoBase2 and see if they are having problems.
8:50a uhhh yea they got it! running wil on thier boxes... ok I'm not alone now. Shut down the site due to possible infection of anyone who looks at it.
9:50a Usenet is starting to have lots of reports of this.
10:20a Symantec has a notice up NEW VIRUS called Nimba!
11:00a Nothing new... this thing replicating everywhere there is a web server. Seems to be adding files at an alarming rate. I just shut down my SQL server and it had 8,000 .EML files on it! Crap! This thing looks like a mass mailer I hope I didn't bomb out 8,000 people!
11:30a Ok getting a handle on it... run M$ patch to stop the vulnerability from CodeBlue(3 weeks old now) delete 78K *.eml and *.nws files ... this seems to have stopped it one machine but 3 others are spinning out of control still.
12:15p Damn I'm hungry... still at it.
12:30p Several places are reporting the virus now including CNN and NewsMax. At least one of my servers has the words "USa Goverment Sucks" embedded in evey web page... thank god I don't use that server for weeb stuff!
2:00p Starting to look like an all nighter... One step forward one step back...
3:30p I seem to have a handle on the 2 most important servers, I had to just shut one of the other off and pull the plug.
5:00p ok Our web site is back up and running Virii free for the moment.
Fight goes on... I have isolated the servers that have the problems and stopped the spread for now. Read about the virus here. This virus is spreading faster than code red and was apprently introduced exactly one week after the WTC attack. hmmmm....
Oh shit here I go again... this could be worse than Code Red by early reports... this virus us VERY aggressive and is spreading wild... we have it on at least 10 machines... I guess I better get a pillow, I'm gonna be here late tonight... more as things unfold...
Because people seem to be addicted to the news these days, I thought I'd pass along one of if not the best sites for news out there. NewsMax often has stuff the others like cnn.com and msnbc.com do not have. Check it out... can be slow sometimes so be patient.
Damn it my hands are killing me today! I spent the better part of yesterday putting up a DSS at my mother in laws house boat... the dish install is easy it was the mount that killed me. I used a chimney mount to attach the dish to a metal pole. Gak! anyway also yesterday I worked on my prop controller for about 3 hours and hope to finish it tonight.
For those of you following the story no my computer is still no right. I mostly have working but there is still one little something that I have not yet figured out.
Want to have a little fun... this is a cool interactive face thingy... just go see it and have some fun!
Looking for something new to do on the web... it may be coming in the way of 3d web browsers

Yes it's 1am I am still sitting here all consumed by the
news of the attacks. I am wondering about taking my own
family to Orlando next week. Is it a smart idea? I think now
is THE safest time ever to fly! I'm talking they are making
everyone grab 'em and spread 'em right now... I may not even
wear underwear just to save time. The thing I think that
bothers me the most is the a-holes are getting what they
wanted ... disruption of the American way of life.
On the other hand... We all went to S's birthday party today
and later went with her family to dinner at Pappasitos...
this prolly why I am awake... I am so full right now I feel
like I am going to pop! Blam!
Things have been so busy ... I post this in vain as I know no one is looking these days... at any rate the stories are heart wrenching and they just keep coming. Blow that MF away please!

Well what a bunch of crap... people are such dumbasses... See why this wrong
On my way home today I saw a sign outside of a business that said "Pray" a little further down the road another that said "Nuke 'Em" ... I say do both! i.am.sad
