QUICK YOU GUYS

BossBoss gave me a labelmaker and I have to make a shitload of labels for office key fobs. WHAT ELSE SHOULD I LABEL? And/or print out as a label?

FYI, shoebox_project has apparently been hacked -- don't click the link to go to the "new" archive for it.

Hey, remember when the worst we had to worry about was Six Apart deleting our journals? Don't you miss those days?

IN UR OFFIS, VIOLATIN UR RITES!

We had a group of people come to our office today and try to get in to see BossBoss while I was at lunch. They wouldn't say who they were or why they were there other than that they needed to speak to BossBoss regarding human rights violations. They did not get to see BossBoss, because Incompetemp couldn't get hold of him (fortunately, otherwise I can just imagine what a cock-up she'd have made of it), and they will not get to see BossBoss anytime soon because I control his calendar.

Normally I would be all in favour of corporations listening to protestors regarding human rights, but 1. our business dealings are ecologically and socially ethical, we have some pretty stringent requirements in that regard, and 2. they told Incompetemp:

"Yeah, Sam said we could come on down and see BossBoss anytime."

I would never say that, because I'm a goddamn professional. And I am not a little bit annoyed that they used my name, without ever having SPOKEN TO ME, to try and get in to see my boss. So I'm not inclined to be helpful to these people.

Besides, having informed BossBoss of what happened, I was told to call building security if they wouldn't leave any info and wouldn't go away. He was also impressed with my contingency plan, which is if they are for some reason threatening me I can phone him and call him "Allison" and he will call building security. Apparently they do this in the military as well (not with girls' names, though) and he's pleased I came up with it.

OPERATION: CALL BOSSBOSS BY A GIRL'S NAME is in effect!

What the hell, guys, when did my place of work turn into a covert military operation?

Okay, you guys, I love you all, but I am not:

1. LJ tech support
2. Jaida or Rave
3. An antivirus guru

Please stop asking questions about LJ security here.

If you clicked the Shoebox link, even if the link was dead, run a viruscheck to see if you have any keylogger programs on your computer. If you don't have a program, somewhere early in the Picking Up The Pieces tag (which this entry is tagged with, for grate efficiency) there is a recc for a good antivirus software. If you have a Mac, you are likely a-ok. AVG and AdAware are good; you can find them easily via Google.

I don't know what Jaida and Rave will do. It depends on whether they want to reup Shoebox and Rave wants to recover her journal. I don't have contact info for them but judging from my comments they have both been made Very Aware of the hack, so I recommend against notifying them further.

The best way to keep this from happening to you is, well, first, Don't Be Internet Famous. The hackers are targeting high-traffic blogs or people who moderate high-traffic comms. Second, make sure that the email address you used when you opened your LJ is still valid and in your control. If it is not, go to https://www.livejournal.com/set_secret.bml and set yourself a voluntary "security question" that LJ will ask before assisting you in changing your password. This will prevent someone else from "changing" your password for you. OBVIOUSLY if you suspect you may have a keylogger on your system, run a viruscheck before you do this.

In the words of the great Douglas Adams, DON'T PANIC already. :D

I did not do any writing today. I WAS BUSY LABELING THINGS and plotting how to negotiate with ill-prepared human rights activists, okay?

BUT I was reminded of some fic that should really be archived on Storyteller. I wrote it all ages ago and posted it on a journal unassociated with Copperbadge or Storyteller because I am neurotic, okay, and at the time I was all crazy about not wanting people to think that I jumped from fandom to fandom and now I've kind of just learned to live with the shame.

Point being: a very few of you may have seen these before, but they are not plagiarised; they are mine, and also brand spankin' new to Storyteller and to most of the readership.
