“We are worms, sir!”
Here’s the brief rendition of the last 24 hours in capsule form for easy swallowing:
So yeah, somebody took their precious work laptop home, got infected by that bleeping worm, brought it back and made my day a living hell yesterday. I answered my cellphone blocks away from the office and knew that my day would consist entirely of fixing and patching, patching and fixing.
And so it did. Occasionally I sat down to nibble on some snack food, but generally speaking I was on my feet and scrambling around from about 9:30 on. Fun, wot?
I finished up at about 3:30, and Lilith (bless her heart) swung by to rescue me at 4:00… but first I was obliged to give the nickel tour to her and the “eldest demonspawn.” Nothing shatters a 14-year-old girl’s illusions about the radio business more effectively than a quick tour through the broadcast facility.
The evening was spent in the companionable environs of Lil’ and Geoffrey’s place, mostly spent cracking wise at various Animal Planet programming.
Today I’m attempting to reconstruct The Beast, a.k.a. The Standby Enco Server. Wish me luck, I think I’m going to need it.

Sometimes they say nice things about me.
Lilith called me this afternoon to tell me the strangest thing: They talked about me. Gustav and Daria, they are, also known as the KNRK morning show.

Beastly Predicament
Remember that power zap a week ago? Did I mention that Beast, the standby Enco server, has been misbehaving since then?
It’s not misbehaving anymore. It’s totally dead. Yes, I realize that this is a fine distinction.
So I’m going from dealing with the Win2K/XP RPC worm (it only hit Ryoko and Washuu, no biggie) to rebuilding the standby Enco server from the ground up. Did I mention that I don’t have a current backup of its Samba config or any of its scripts?
If you need me I’ll be in the other room, ruing the day I was born…

Past, Present, Future – Round Twenty-five
PAST: What truly bad-for-you snacky treat were you addicted to as a child?
PRESENT: As adults we’re supposed to be responsible, watch our diet carefully, blah blah blah. It would be boring if we did that all the time, wouldn’t it? Go on, share with us your guilty-pleasure snack food.
FUTURE: I haven’t pushed your creative boundaries lately, so how about you describe a brand new snacky-treat that you’ll become famous for throughout the land?
This week’s PPF is brought to you by Henry’s root beer, a bag of Wavy Lay’s chips and some french onion (with bacon) dip. No, I won’t be kissing anybody tonight, don’t worry. As always I implore you to comment with your answers or a link thereto, and if you link back please use http://greyduck.net/ppf. Thank you!

And you didn’t even think I was at all evil.
Once again I’m following slavishly in Dawn’s wake as she takes all of these silly quizzes…
Another mystery revealed. Let’s see, what sort of creative evil should I engage in next…?
