Well, rats. Sorry about that.

Apparently, some dumbass ding dong managed to link a teaser to my article about Career tips for twenty-something women to a MySpace virus, and seven unsuspecting people clicked on it. If you clicked on a redirect link within MySpace and you didn't encounter an error page, please make sure your security patches are up to date. It wouldn't hurt you to run a full scan on top of that, too.

One more related to career tips: check out this wonderful 2007 post from Baglady about some of her weird and wonderful interviewing adventures.

One more related to viruses: Someone found my blog while searching for the phrase frugal disease tips, which is probably the first time I've ever seen those particular three words juxtaposed. Searcher, I hope you found what you were looking for.

Check back tomorrow for something a little more substantive. In the meantime, my five-day weekend has started and I hope yours does soon as well.

4 retorts. What say you?

Nearly every week, I am reminded to be grateful for my wise decision to change to an Imac nearly 3 years ago. In the long run, much cheaper. No money spent on firewalls, virus protection, etc. No worries about clicking on the wrong thing. At least as an end user, I'm ok. But you always have to worry about your website and your blog. Everything comes under attack, it's one of life's mysteries.

Gord - The iMac is great! My mom has one and loves hers. I don't know that iMacs are truly virus-free, but Mac viruses certainly are rare at best. May your iMac remain in good health.

"Frugal Disease tips" is a pretty strange search phrase. I got a lot of weird searches focusing on the second word in my blog's name. I"m not going to be providing the content they're looking for.

I'm not sure which is worse: the searches you get, or the fact that it took me quite a while to puzzle out what you meant. Ew!
