Off to a rocking start

This week is shaping up to be as good as last week. Our Positni filters redirected hundreds of copies of the Sober virus into our quarantine over the weekend. I’m glad they all got detected and redirected but all of those emails in the quarantine means it takes me longer to go through and make sure nothing got quarantined that shouldn’t have. Seriously, what do we have to do to keep people from opening attachments and getting infected?

Also, email to this domain is not working today for whatever reason. The email servers my host uses are unreachable as are the database connections I use on the Child Abuse site. I do not know why or what happened…

Update: Email and the DB connections are working now. Still no word on what happened this morning.

    Something struck me yesterday as we were strolling through the Columbus Museum of Art. We had gone specifically to see the American Impressionsists exhibit, but as we wandered around the rest of the musuem I was struck by one wall that had a “Photos of the City” display. These Photo League works ranged back to…

    I couldn’t help but nod my head reading Brett Trout’s post about corporate packrats today. Does your company still have “floppy” disks in storage?  Is your company storing invoices from the 80?s? If so, it is time for a little spring cleaning. The cost of cleaning your electronic house is actually quite small compared with…

    Seems like the equipment worked fine for the meeting yesterday, and it all came back in working order, as well, always a good thing. I told you it was with people I trust to take care of it without my help. There’s not many of them around here, but there are a few. 🙂 I…

    Here’s a few thoughts on the current legal and tech scene: What is the best thing about the internet for us, and the worst for Big Media? There are very few barriers to entry when it comes to publishing online. You can do it for very little $$, it doesn’t take special equipment, or licenses….
