Angst Ahoy, Part 2

[batskeets]

People who should die:

1. George W. (duh)
2. Regis Philbin (he's annoying, okay?)
3. Those smelly drug addict dork neighbours of mine (morons. >_<)
4. Whoever wrote that piece of crap Sircam virus. (freaking loser. :p)

I think it is #4 who is currently annoying me the most. Since that stupid crap virus apparently sends itself out to other people via Outlook, I've gotten that stupid fracking e-mail at least 6 times per day over the past three or four days. And that's only to my mokuzen account, not even counting the times I've gotten it at my other addresses. >_< Thankfully, I use Eudora, which does *not* automatically open file attatchments like *some* e-mail programs have been known to do, so the buck shall stop HERE, Damnit.

I swear, if I have to read "I send you this file in order to have your advice" 6 more times tomorrow, I'm going to go SO freaking postal. It's bad enough to receive a virus repeatedly, but with the BAD ENGLISH to boot?? COME ON, people. Uh duh dur hur hur. :p

On a nicer note: FRESH LJ MEAT! Everybody say howdy to Sean and his spankin' new Livejournal! :D

Oh yeah: bedtime for me. SIGH. When did it get late?

Newspaper coverage of Sircam here hasn't even bothered to mention the Outlook/OE thing.

Sheesh.

If people would just realize that this wouldn't happen to them if they DIDN'T USE BRAINDEAD MAIL APPS... >_

Yeah.. I agree with that number 4

I'm on the WotC message board team mailing list, and get it at least once an hour under random headings that make me want to look and make sure. Most of them have been caught at this point, at least... but I could have gotten it a few times already so far. Luckily, thank God for webmail.

Ya know...

I haven't gotten it once? Should I be offended, or start mourning my obvious lack of cyber-connectedness?

I'd say that you can be happy that you've got smart friends who aren't infecting their machines and sending it on to you. :)

Well, there is that, I guess. :p And if I could stop all the junk mail I get on my oldest hotmail account, I should be blissfully happy... If I never see another subject line with the words "I love cock" again, it'll be too soon. I should refer them to your LJ entry on the matter LOL

Heh. My sysadmin at work wrote some procmail foo that both scanned for certain combinations of message boundaries to warn people AND dumped mail in his (safe, Unix-based) mailbox if it looked like it might really be the virus. I guess he isn't counting on people here to be smart enough to not autoexecute stuff. :)

Ahh, that's a virus! Someone keeps sending me that. Yay for bein' on a Mac and using pine. Aww yeah. ;D
