I managed to get Bloodhound.Exploit.196, several trojans, as well as the dreaded Spyware Protect 2009. It has taken me three days to clean up the machine, since Spyware Protect wormed its way into both the registry and the System Restore files.

Ah well. It's good to know that a trailer for a horror film creates actual horror. Somehow this seems right, in our post-digital age.

I've been waiting all along for Betty & Barney Hill to get dragged into this, ever since the New Hampshire primary. Thank you. My paranoia is now officially fulfilled.

Longtime Making Light lurker here. How dispiriting to see Web del Sol linked to this sort of verbiform pollution.

Web del Sol was one of the first on-line venues for literary publishing; I worked for them as a volunteer years ago. Since then, on-line resources for writers in the literary market have leapfrogged past Web del Sol, which, like most portal sites, hasn't seemed to accomplish much to justify its independent existence. (The Algonkian Workshops were presumably such an attempt.)

Small correction: while the gulf between the micro-world of literary journal publishing and the much larger world of commercial publishing is huge, some of the journals listed by Michael Neff in his bio are in fact paying markets. (Whether they could be classed as commercial markets is another question, since most literary journals derive significant proportions of their income from grants, institutional subvention, etc., rather than from sales.)
