This afternoon we had a hail storm here at the house. It lasted about five minutes, and within about 10 minutes the sun was out. My neighbor's car was badly dented, but apparently I was lucky because my car was under a tree. Still, this was a really awesome display of nature's fury.
Interesting! While reading other people's blogs this morning I ran across the following.
This article, A New Risk to Computers Worldwide, in today's New York Times is worth reading. It describes the threat thusly. «The program, W32/KLEZ.H, is a «blended threat,» combining elements of a virus, which infects machines, and a worm, which transports itself from machine to machine. It also tries to disable some antivirus programs.»
Reading other blogs is almost always interesting, and sometimes doing so shows that some people may just have too much time on their hands.
Anyone who works where I do will find this horror story painfully familiar.
Here's an article about issues at the edge that demands your attention, if you have any interest at all in facilitating the future.

A note in Dan Gillmor's weblog relates how he introduced a class of Chinese journalism students to blogging.
It's another of those days on which our database is down, thus providing me the opportunity to make a few notes here.
I prefer writing in the morning. I can't say why, but for some reason when I wake up I can think of more to say then I can late at night. I suppose I'm what people refer to as a «morning person.» However, I have a relatively limited amount of time in the mornings while I'm drinking coffee and listening to the news on the television before I shower to go to work. So on some mornings I give priority to answering email that has arrived over night, and on others this blog gets my attention. Yesterday it was email that took priority and the blog got short shrift; today I am beginning with the blog.
