red, mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City

General joy, as the geeks in the IT department have apparently managed to wrestle to the ground the malware Godzilla which slowed our bandwidth to a dodgy and intermittent crawl over the last week. (500 zombie spambot computers infected. Darned student unsafe data transfer muttermutter. And this the country of AIDs awareness). The posing of geeks with one foot on the recumbent trojan corpse does mean I can post photos. Herewith the one I wanted to post on Monday, yet another in the series of Unreasonably Beautiful Dawns. Now with added lowering clouds, fiery skies and, what was it? "portentuous effulgence".

Oh, we have a nice big shiny firewall - you should hear my sister swear about the way it messes with her genetics data downloads. The problem was that this particular worm is aimed at flash drives, which the students all carry around like extra limbs and are forever plugging into the library computers, and at Messenger and IRC. It was also a brand new worm whose signature wasn't yet in the McAfee database. Chaos ensued. The problem with malware is that it evolves slightly faster than the virus catchers, inevitably enough.
