Virus outbreak

It was a shock for me on Friday afternoon after receiving one hundred notice of virus outbreak from my personal computer at work and my PC has been blocked! It never happened before. First thing I did was to quickly disconnect myself from our network. The only way that I can do it fastest is to unplug the cat5 cable. Then called up our IT department and inform them about the problem. I thought I were the only one as the lady in IT department didn’t receive any notice from the virus scanner, but it turns out that all our PC in our section are infected and bombarded with the virus alert notice.

The next thing was some PC on the level 3 also got it! But it was getting late and everyone is preparing to leave the office thus they are shutting down their PC. So with that, the IT department won’t be able to trace which PC is really the culprit. I got confirmation from the IT department and plug back the cat5 cable, just click “ok” on those notices and resume surfing. I don’t know if it has anything to do with Cat5e patch cable or there simply is someone downloading things from the Net and got infected with virus. Only Monday then the IT department can do their hunt. Finger cross that my PC is not the culprit.

15 minutes compliment access

Yup, am in the Hilton Hotel Cino Restaurant using their free 15 minutes access , need to make this super fast.

Our plan later is to take the water taxi over to the other side of the river, get our Mee Galak and enjoy the night view from the other side of Kuching. A friend of ours from UNIMAS will be bringing us around, then will meet up with Anton’s brother-in-law there. Hope to have a great night and am sure to buy more Kuih Lapis to bring home. Colleagues at home will get to enjoy it for sure.

This PC that is being set with a timer will automatically disconnect me when 15 minutes is up. I don’t have a laptop, if only there is laptop for rent and maybe with a cheap laptop rentals comes with wireless internet connection, that would be good. But, oh well, dream on for me here, especially in this part of Malaysia but then it could be very expensive. Okay, time is almost up. Will write again if possible.

No access?

I’ll be away for a few days till Saturday to attend a course in UNIMAS, Kuching and the hotel that I’m going to stay is charging hell out of the internet access, RM25 per hour!! I can’t afford that, so I might just have to live without internet for few days.. buhoohoo…

No internet, no checking of email, no blogging, can’t read my google blogs that I’ve subscribe, basically no contact to the outside world of my little family.

But I’ve got one slim chances, hoping that the lab itself will be having wireless broadband or our internet terminal (if we get provided with that) is internet connected, thanks for giving me that hope, Aunty J. Will see if I can do that, “if you see me, you see me” *wink*

Keeping up-to-date

Hmm.. have been quiet lately in updating my blog. Well, nothing much happened, other than the routine everyday. One thing I wanted to record down here is that my niece has gone to study in Adelaide, Australia in Nursing. Mix feelings from me, happy that she can finally go to further her study after her form five; sad and worried that she is all alone in a foreign country that she never been to before; another note is that nursing is not her first choice of interest.

Thank God that she has safely touched down and settling in the hostel now, even going to church today! Am glad to hear that, plus she can get online anytime when she is free as internet access is freely available in her college. One thing I hope she’ll do is to start a blog for herself so that she can have a place to keep herself updated with her friends and also keeping a record on things that is happening around her. Maybe she can start with a personalised newsletter, *LOL*.

Fly (her nickname), you can try Zookoda, it enables you to send a daily, weekly or monthly summary of your latest blog posts directly into my inbox, some more it is free! Oh well, if only you’ll start a blog today.

For those that have lots of readers, they can consider using Zookoda because it enables you to do several things all together, such as: Manage email newsletter subscribers, enhance your blog with custom newsletter subscription forms, edsign eye-catching newletters to match your blog design, schedule recurring broadcasts for each day, week or month, view real-time open, bounce, click and unsubscribe reports, and finally, access mobile users by emailing blog content in text format. Isn’t that great!

Maybe I should introduce this service to Scrap-n-crop to enhance their newsletter format, Val, what do you say? As for Fly, keep me up to date ya!?
