I’m back and yes, the holiday was splendiferous. Thanks for asking. To the reader who became concerned by my conspicuous absence from these pages during the past month and e-mailed asking if I’d been eaten by a crocodile while on holiday: er, no. And it’s nice to know you missed me. Isn’t that lovely...

British anti-virus firm Sophos found a work wanted ad tucked away in the code of the MyDoom.U and MyDoom.V worms. In a bad sign for the virus-writer, the worm isn’t spreading too fast but I suppose you have to give him or her an A for ingenuity. If you use a webcam, take note:...
