Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

There's someone with a virus out there--(Yes, really! Believe it or not!) I have gotten about twelve e-mails this morning with attached .scr and .pif files. They all have normal addresses, which means it's probably a variation on the virus that scoops up names out of someone's address book or outbox file along with various subject lines that have been used (i.e. Re: Your report, Re: You'll love this, Re: That movie, etc.), and then sends itself out using those names.

Remember, if you get something that is supposed to be from me, I never, EVER send out attached files unsolicited. DO NOT OPEN anything from anyone, including me, unless you are certain that it doesn't contain a virus.

UPDATE: I just got an Undeliverable Mail message from an address with someone at the State of Michigan, indicating I had sent this person an e-mail with an attached virus. Again, just because my address is in the 'From' space, doesn't mean I sent it!

It appears Mac is having the same problems, too.

Chet the E-Mail Boy is now cowering in the coatroom. I told him it was not his fault, but you know how he is.
