Down By the Virus
My company's busy, bustling pace came to a near halt the past few days.
An apparent virus breakout ("Sality") on our parent company's server basically left us unable to use the internet. It's funny - I use a mac and have zilch problems, but there was the fear that I could propagate the damn thing, since technically everything we access first passes through our heavily infected parent company.
So Wednesday was spent going around the office scanning computers, yesterday I got sent home right away and got to work from home. The problem is finally getting fixed but sucked out a fair amount of production time.
The irony is, known of our computers seem to have been affected by this - just a big bug hunt for the bogeyman.
