Late last night, a microscopic attacker evaded my perimeter defenses, snuck in through an unknown vulnerability, and launched an all-out denial of service attack. Late this morning, an exfiltration operation began, via multiple ports and at an explosive pace. Recovery procedures have been slow and of minor effectiveness so far. It is unknown at this point whether systems will be fully patched by morning. I shall endeavor to update this bulletin with more detail as events unfold.

I had the same bug last week, or one very closely related. Hang in there, it will pass in a day or two.Comment

LOL. I actually could have been describing a Windows box!
I am feeling almost better now. This will be a day of recovery. No wind symphony rehearsal tonight, though. Still quite weak. But finally able to eat solid food, first time in 60 hours.Comment

For the first time in 15+ years, I caught a flu in February, but no stomach issues--it was all in the muscles and head (as are most of my problems in life). Made me crave gourmet Danish pastries! Gained a couple pounds right at the belly, the last thing I needed. Water, more water, fruits, veggies, beans, nuts, homemade soups--immune nutrients--that's the ticket.An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

Get well soon.Comment
