Wonderful World of Windows… NOT!

Work is such fun today!
</sarcasm>

Our cor­po­rate net­work got hit with the WORM_SASSER.B virus and since I work out of a remote office that relies on servers in the main office; I’m effec­tively dead in the water today. I wish we had some more Linux boxes on the net­work, so that maybe we wouldn’t get hit so hard by viri like this. Unfor­tu­nately, all our company’s soft­ware is Win­dows based which doesn’t give us much room to do that.

Ah well, at least I’m hav­ing plenty of time to read Assimov’s I, Robot (I bor­rowed a copy from “my friend Fritz”) and so far, so good. It’s nice to go back and reread the works of some of the mas­ters of Sci-Fi once in a while. Oh, I should men­tion that I fin­ished Heinlein’s The Num­ber of the Beast over the week­end and enjoyed it but while he explored an inter­est­ing con­cept, it wasn’t one of his bet­ter books. Over­all, I’d give it 2.5 out of 5 points.
