A friend of mine asked me how I filter KLEZ in my Outlook mail client. I have two rules for this, and they look like so: Apply this rule after the message arrives with Content-Type: audio/x-midi; in the message header and which has an attachment delete it The second rule is the same, except the content type is “audio/x-wav” instead of “audio/x-midi“. You also might want to use the “permanently delete” action instead of the … Continue reading
Damn, I hate virii. Some customer of ours (that is to say, my employer) is infected with the KLEZ virus. They received it in an email that had my email address on it.

I saw this mentioned on iStockPhoto earlier, and now I just ran across the discussion on Slashdot. I think michael’s comments pretty much sum up my thoughts on the matter.

Along with our own kids, we had our niece, Julie. And at the last minute, we convinced Julie’s parents, John and Melissa, to come along as well. The trip down on Saturday was punctuated with thundershowers, but weren’t about to let them get us … Continue reading
…just busy. I’m working on one of those “we need it done two weeks ago” sort of projects at work. The problem is that it’s one of those drudgery projects. The program isn’t anything creative and fun. It’s mainly just taking a big HTML form and doing a huge buttwad of error checking on the data the user entered. Bbbooorrriiinnnggg. But it has to be done….
