Turn Signal

In the event that I ever have to risk life and limb by driving on Atlanta’s I-285 during rush hour, I’ve come up with a new bumpersticker idea. I’ll buy a 1961 Ford Galaxie, paint the parts that aren’t rusted or covered with Bondo a deep snot-green, and drive offensively.

The bumpersticker should read: “CHRIST IS MY TURN SIGNAL.”

Megan and I arrived in Hawai’i today after a nine hour flight from Chicago O’Hare… a week of honeymooning begins! =]

My Day

Beth: So, how’s your day?

Me: Well, a million halfwits too stupid to breathe were nominated to be “system administrators” by other halfwits too stupid to digest solid food. The first group of halfwits installed some Microsoft web-server software [built by another, different group of halfwits], didn’t secure it, and each of their servers got infected by a worm that made the servers spew out tons of useless data across the Internet. The first group of halfwits then calls me to bitch about “WHY IS UR INTARNET SLOW?!1. IT IS uR cOMPANee. TRAYING TO MAEK MAH INERNEET SLAW!!!11”. Then they try to cancel their service with my company, even though they aren’t customers.

Nimda

Jim Olson of Cyberjunkees sent the following information to the NANOG list regarding the newest and potentially most dangerous Microsoft IIS worm, Nimda:

“This is the information i’ve collected thus far on W32.nimda:

W32.nimda is NOT a code red variant, and the people who referring to it as “Code Blue” were mistaken…

The name it has been given (at least by TruSecure) is W32.nimda.a.mm. It uses several vulnerabilities in Windows NT and 2000 server’s to infect a server, and also employ’s email and web site mobile code to infect Windows 9x/ME/NT/2k boxes.

Haunted

I’m really enjoying the newest album from Poe: Haunted. It is creepy and beautiful and perfect for the approaching Autumn.

New Sticker

In these days of heightened panic, some are concerned of a crackdown on strong encryption –even to the point of refusing to accept encrypted email. I feel that we, as a nation, should strive to secure everything against our enemies, and that we should view strong encryption as just one more weapon against Threat forces.

New bumpersticker should read:

PROTECT OUR NATION’S SECRETS:
ENCRYPT YOUR DOCUMENTS
