Busy day as usual. Started off the day with a nice discussion about filtering to the list server. The announcement lists got a nice pile of bounce messages, all of which the list server of course holds. When I set up the new server we're gonna try to filter them before they get to mailman. If you are curious as to just how much mail this Sobig.F thing is generating, feel free to take a look at a screenshot of what came in to the MAILER-DAEMON on the backup smtp servers (the stuff going through the primary doesn't even make it to the client side on this box). And that wasn't even the biggest folder... :) Today was also movin day for most students. The Help Desk was swamped with people wanting to know what to do with the viruses on their machines so we'd let them back on the network. brooke complained about it as usual, and seemed to be happy to get out of their as soon as she could. And that was with 5 people working instead of the usual 2. And then there's just the putting people in the blackhole. I think Nick spent almost the entire day dragging around icons in VLAN Manager, and left running out saying "I have to be gone before my email says I have another new message" After work I hung out at the Help Desk a bit, which by then was quite a bit quieter. Paul seemed to be barely awake and not quite thinking straight, which was sorta entertaining. And Betsy said the MTV Music Awards have Evanescence, so that's in the process of recording right now (it was too late to catch the first run - gotta love the repeats every other hour). After work I discovered that my Two Towers DVD arrived, so watched the special features stuff. Lots of cool stuff - turns out there were 16 TV spots. Unfortunately you can tell they were mastered for TV and not DVD. Probably gonna have a movie night next week to watch it. After that I watched 2010. That's a good movie, and it doesn't seem like it was made way back in 1984. Even though I haven't seen 2001 for a few years, I now get a lot of the story in the first one I didn't understand before (he sorta assumed you'd read the books). It all makes sense now. I amazingly stayed awake without caffeine (and am even awake enough to notice that the IMDB URL format changed since yesterday), although who knows how much that is due to the soundtrack, and how much to the insane amount of water I drank. Oh well, enough for tonight. Tomorrow is another long day of work (as is Saturday :( ).
