No it’s not Clym Yeobright...
Today saw a sudden resurgence of the Nachi Worm at work again. It was so bad our Exchange server’s antivirus software went into “Outbreak” mode and stripped all attachments from email. Of course the network couldn’t handle the stress and went down – again. Those servers are played out dude. Christ, we’ve had the same servers since 1996, they’re a little long in the tooth. Somebody takes those old machines out back and put them out of their misery.
With the network so unreliable these days, I am burning through floppies like mad the past couple weeks, pouching diskettes in interoffice envelopes and sending out files to their destinations via sneakernet. Remember those days? Feels like it’s 1989 all over again.
The IT monkeys got everything under control by noon though, so my hat’s off to them. Good job guys. Hopefully this nasty virus upsurge is coming to an end.
