Ever since Saturday, there’s been a huge uptick in the number of viral emails coming into the server. It seemed oddly to originate exclusively in Australia, but by Sunday night most of the mails coming in were from various US netblocks.
I’m pretty sure anyone reading this blog has more sense than to click on an attached file they weren’t expecting, but just in case…don’t. Make sure you maintain your anti-viral software (AVG gives theirs away, others are available inexpensively) and update it frequently, and (much as I hate to say it) make sure Microsloth’s “Auto Update” feature is turned ON on home machines (businesses should follow their company’s protocol).
Remember, if you don’t become infected, you can’t send me these bothersome viral emails. ;)
The President, General Manager & CEO (what, this is the best they can do for all of these positions? lord, they are worse off than I thought…) of Cincinnati Public Radio keeps annoying the hell out of me; every time anything is posted to the Internet OTR Digest about the demise of Cincinnati’s WVXU, this public-relations-deprived lightweight emails me…honest to goodness, I can understand why he’s so despised; the guy actually goes out of his way to alienate people he doesn’t even know, so imagine how he rubs those who have to deal with him. This morning, though, it was in response to a comment I made.
I cannot post his comments, of course (it’s terrible netiquette to post publically a private communications without permission), but I can post my response. And just so we’re clear, the server will immediately delete any posted comment from the State of Ohio Network (the entire B-block), so don’t waste your time. This isn’t a debate; you don’t like it, get your own blog.
(*sigh*) And you wonder why I am so distainful of what National Public Radio and its member stations have become…
He, he…clearly I bother you enough to bait you into a response, although
as expected not a terribly intelligent one. Nice to know even though you
haven’t the mettle to subscribe to the list yourself, you still have some
grovelling little lap-dog to forward to you any issues that mention your tiny
little fiefdom. I’m curious…how did a vituperative and surly bureaucrat like
you ever rise to the position of CEO of a public radio network? Oh, yeah…guess
I pretty much answered my own question; never mind. My lord, you’re NPR board
material; lose a few million more brain cells, you may be able to take Kevin
Klose’s job.
Consider yourself firewalled; I’ve wasted way too much time with your petty
nonsense. If you ever grow up, let me know. Otherwise, go screw up some other
public radio station and leave me alone.
