This that and the other thing. Though there might be more of this than that. And little of the other things. Maybe.

Zotob? Zotob! Where art thou, Zotob?!

I'm sure most of yall have heard about the Zotob Worm hitting a variety of corporations here on the east coast. My office was one of them. Before nine on Wednesday morning we got the call from the tech guys to shut off our computers. Despite our knowing that at least three folks in my office were infected on Tuesday. (Officially our DC office was hit on Tuesday and we were hit on Wednesday but in actuality we were both hit on Tuesday. Our tech guys are just slower.)

It wasn't until around noon that we were told to turn our computers back on, but not to login to our workstations or the LAN. We were finally given the "all clear" to login to our machines about 1.30. As you can imagine, it was a very productive day at work.

Funny thing is, Zotob is only going after Windows 2000 and I have XP at work.
