Bug? - ...and don't get me started on the PC vs

Hi,

I was enjoying catching up on a bit of SL, on this thread...

...I got about page 3, and then I got a small (3mm) bug walking across my screen. I thought it was a real fly inside my laptop screen, but it wasn't. It was computer generated.

My network sits behind 3 firewalls: 2 softeware and 1 commercial grade.

I have scanned and have no viruses that I can detect.

I was on about page 4.

Anybody else had this?

It's something Magnus has in his signature at the bottom of his posts. It's on page 3 but you shouldnt get it on any other posts.

Magnus...not cool, not funny, just a waste of fucking time...imho.

How on earth did you miss that it follows the scrolling and goes away when you scroll off from Magnus' post?

Beware, you might see a sheep skipping rope somewhere. :ninja

But also not the end of the world either. Have you not seen the one where the fish follows your cursor around? I reckon it's on the site somewhere.

No, maybe a slightly sharp response, in retrospect.

Its not immediately obvious that its an intended joke - my livelihood depends on our IT security.

My immediate reaction was to assume a nasty.

Phew, its not...or is it? ;-)

I like Magnus's ant: I think it is funny, and if I could be arsed I would steal it for my signature.

Bass you could always go to the public library to read 'loops

No, it doesn't appear on my Mac, Bass.

Cheers, Paul

That's because Mac's are virus proof.

That's because, as you've told me many times, Mac's are virus proof :-)
