One Step Further

Well, both viruses in cyber and meat- space have gone one step further than I would have liked.

The Bagle virus has just gotten really nasty, spoofing mail to our users to make it look like it came from "administrator" and also signing it "The $domainname Team" where $domainname is the current suffix on your email addresses - in my case, commonground.org.

Meanwhile, it seems the real-world-need-to-go-to-a-doctor type of virus or infection that has me may have shrugged off the 10 doses of levaquin I just dutifully took. The last one is still in my system, and I'm already waking up with green-sleepy eyes and may yet have a sinus infection.

In both cases, I'm rebelling against extreme measures - in cyberspace, I have yet to filter and block all mail from the outside with our domain name in the from, for fear of screwing up all internal email. In meatspace, I refuse to go and demand a "bigger gun" like cipro until I know I really still have this cold and can't kick it myself.

Come on Immune System! Do your thing.
