Sorry folks, again not a particularly exciting topic from me...I'll keep it short. Just to warn of the increasing threat of this new virus...


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7832652.stm


I looked at 3 computers last week all infected with the 'Downadup' variety...took a serious amount of time to shift it, and although one had the Windows patch downloaded from the website the virus still managed to execute and cause mayhem...



PS: Oh and looking forward to meeting a few of you at the EDF drinks next month to prove I'm not a computer geek 24/7 :)-D

      But people getting up for work or if they’re a carer having to get up after a few hours sleep would know it’s gone 11pm as they’re kept awake by selfish people!

      I agree. Midnight I can understand when it's celebrating the start of a new year (under whatever system) but not otherwise. Though re the wildlife, it's going to affect them whatever time it is, I don't suppose they know it's gone 11pm!

      Looking for someone naughty on the ground? What other reason would there be, if it hasn't landed anywhere?

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Sue · Posted

      Yes I get your gist, but maybe you could just name a few of the very many you mention? I'm not sure why you find it very concerning that somebody would leave Labour for the Greens? So have many people, including me.
