A day in the life of a Pyro.

I am rather like a mosquito in a nudist camp; I know what I want to do, but I don’t know where to begin.

A new computer worm is out and about. Luckily, as with most, mac users are immune. However, I thought this was humorous enough to post.

It seems that the worm Bropia.F is spreading itself via MSN messenger pretending to be some sort of scandalous image. Common names for the file are: Bedroom-thongs.pif, Hot.pif, Naked_drunk.pir, Underware.Pif, LOL.scr, New_webcam.pif, RoFL.pif, and Webcm.pif.

Users receive the following humorous image of a “hot chick”en with a bit of a tan.

Symantec rated this variant as high on damage and medium on distribution in the wild. The worm sends itself to all of the contacts in an infected users buddy list.

Bropia.F is a regular party animal, and it brings friends. It also Drops the Rbot-VH network worm and backdoor trojan horse, allowing hackers to take remote control of computers having been infected, capturing keystrokes and screenshots. A plethora of credit card and identity theft opportunities are available, heck it even lets them capture webcam footage. Also along for the ride is agabot.ajc which can perform a DDos attack on certain services.

Bropia.F hides behind the guise of a humorous photo, but it’s no laughing matter. The file size for Bropia.F is about 184 KB, and it affects Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.

Yet another reminder to keep you computer up to date, not to open unsolicited attachments (even from people you know), and better yet… GET A MAC!

Roger Rabbit’s Cartoon Spin: a wild ride through the back alleys of toontown! The only ride with a PG sense of humour in the G rated world of Disneyland, you are zany, wild, and a little bit of a loose screw. Energetic and colorful, you go at full speed, even though your taxi-car vehicles actually have four flat tires! Despite your older humor, you are a kid at heart and kids most relate to your cartoony world and like you the best. You’ve been known to make the adults a little queasy and a little bit dizzy. You leave your visitors dazed, a little confused, but more often, extremely amused. You take us to the places we’d never see in a ride featuring the straight-laced Mickey, but somehow you’re still all Disney.

What Disneyland attraction are you?

I saw on the news tonight a woman from the San Diego area swears she saw the image of jesus in a tortilla she was cooking on the stove. Of course now she is was trying to sell the tortilla on ebay. It appears it has since been removed from ebay. However, there is no shortage of “jesus image” items on ebay. Here is a few of the better ones:

Items include:

• Image of Jesus in door
• In a dental x-ray
• Driftwood
• Tie Dyed T-Shirt
• Natural Stone
• Burnt Tree
• Fireplace Soot
• Plank of Wood
• Petrified Wood
• And My Favorite: The Etch A Sketch

I included the Etch A Sketch one because I thought it was so hilarious, and I am sure it will be gone soon.
