If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want — good or bad — BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you’re finished, if you’d like to continue the chain, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON’T ACTUALLY remember about you.

Anyone who knows me knows I enjoy chasing viruses through the darkest recesses of a workstation, and learning what weird and wonderful new way things are hiding themselves (or reinstalling themselves), and I know it can go sideways and get scary really really fast.
And then you move up and up in the ladder of technicians, across the line into guru or mad scientist land. You start pulling craziness from the magician’s hat, only it’s not always a cute little bunny you pulled out of that hat, like people might have expected you to. It’s this horrifying multi-legged gibbering *thing* that came from the deep blackness of the net, and it might eat every machine in a 50-foot radius if you don’t handle it properly. And nobody knows how to handle it properly, and everyone who knows enough about such things knows enough to be a little scared. - JBurton
Was reading a post over at Pelalusa that the virus/malware that ripped through VSB’s offices and classrooms faster than pinkeye is still a problem, even though it’s been four weeks since initial infection. This is a known piece of malware, and I’m assuming it’s viral (spreads by itself, using a known vulnerability in Windows).
So why can’t they get rid of it?
“Boom, headshot!”
{Something the gang at EAC IT used to yell out whenever someone was terminated that we didn’t particularly care for. Something I was tempted to yell out when I was laid off last year. Given what’s been going on in the gaming industry of late, you’ll forgive me a little gallows humour.}
Edit/Update: So, this was really bugging me, because the album version vocal seemed so “slushy” compared to the single I downloaded a month or so ago. I wasn’t entirely sure about the veracity of the album version I had, so Ripley and I wandered down to the HMV at Robson & Burrard yesterday and listened to the track on a listening post. Same thing. Sounded like their singer was off a bit, y’know?
So I threw both tracks into Sony’s Acid 7.0 and did a quick slide edit to put the music tracks together as closely as I could bother, and aside from a little flam on the percussion that isn’t there normally, I think I got them pretty tight. Here’s an MP3 of BOTH tracks, and you’ll notice a distinct echo/doubling of the vocal that gets more and more pronounced as the track progresses. Frankly, I kinda dig it, ’cause it gives the track this weird dizzy feel to it.
