geckos & funnel webs - 06:29 PM
(filed under 'animal')
i just heard a gecko outside on the porch. they eat insects, right? i wonder if they eat funnel web spiders? maybe they could eat all the ones that have nested in the porch roof beams.
the abundance of funnel webs which have appeared with the heat of summer is worrying me quite a bit. their bite is very poisonous & can make an adult very sick. it can kill a baby. 
viruses - 07:56 AM
(filed under 'general')
.. or should that be virii? anyway, i got a good one just recently. supposedly from microsoft (security@microsoft.com) with the text, "Dear friend , use this Internet Explorer patch now! There are dangerous virus in the Internet now! More than 500.000 already infected!" & an executable (patch.exe) attached to it.
i would hope that bona fide microsoft staff would have a better grasp of english, use correct punctuation & not so many exclamation marks. i hope that no one is silly enough to fall for this one. hmm, i know people will fall for it, so perhaps i should say instead, i hope that not too many are silly enough to fall for this one.
