    Alan H at work

    I'd just learned that one of my classrooms had been reinstalled with a really old disk image and 20 machines were spamming the Uni network, looking for vullnerable IP's to break into with worms. Thus, the grim look.

    Nonetheless this is Yours Truly, kilted, at work....

    Nice belt buckle and kilt pin! It is heartwarming to see pics of somebody else kilted at work! Good luck re-imaging all 20! Not a fun job.

    You look like you mean business.
    Like the kilt, was it bought in or made by yourself ?

    Seems to me that those worms would be too scared to attack one of your machines, Alan.

    I Know the feeling!

    Allan, I know that feeling.

    Last year I replaced about 50 Macs with Windows machines, and it has kept me busy ever since. Malware and Viruses and Adware, Oh! No!

    I know both and have worked with both for 19 years, but the company keeps forcing us to "standardize" to windows, though we still rebell with our Macs.

    As I said it is an Entertainment Industry (Audio and Video).

    Sounds like another fight we here know so well.

    Cheers!

    Try to keep smiling!

    Grim indeed!

    Ya look like you're plugged in and recharging

    A fine kilt for sure, and at work.

    I had that same look on my face earlier today. I was trying to program in the ability for my stained glass website to sell gift certificates. :confused: I thought I'd done it but instead I crashed the server and now I've spent much of the rest of the day restoring everything from backup.

    Oh, and did I mention the customers who kept calling and emailing to let me know that they wanted to give me their money but my site was down! :-x

    Of course I was angry at myself and no one else. Ahhh, and I like that kilt.
