Subject: virus warning
From: Glennert Riedel

Information
The bug, called either Zipped Files or ExploreZip, is sent via e-mails and
attacks computer files.
It is spreading rapidly as it automatically sends itself as a reply to any
e-mails in the in-box of an infected computer.
The bug - known as a "worm", as it is unable to replicate itself in the
same way as a normal computer virus - has already hit a major investment
bank in the City of London, and is thought to have affected BT and BSkyB
among others.
Delete instantly
Action was taken on Friday to intercept the worm after it was found at the
BBC.
The worm arrives in a personalised message with the text: "Hi (recipient's
name). I have received your e-mail and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till
then, take a look at the attached zipped docs. Sincerely, (sender's name)."
If the file is opened, the worm will erase documents on the computer's hard
drive written with standard Microsoft software such as Word, PowerPoint and
Excel.
A statement from Microsoft, warning of the worm, said: "Customers receiving
this e-mail message should delete it immediately without opening the
attachment and then empty the deleted items folder."
Credible-looking
Microsoft is believed to have cut off its corporate e-mail connection with
the Internet for two hours on Thursday to prevent it from becoming
infected.
In March, computer networks were hit by the Melissa virus, which oveloaded
networks by sending hundreds of e-mails.
The ExploreZip worm has been reported in more than a dozen countries,
including the US, Germany, Norway, Israel and the Czech Republic.
Mikko Hypponen of anti-virus software company Data Fellows, said: "The key
issue here is that messages sent by ZippedFiles are very credible,
normal-looking replies to messages you have sent earlier.
"You're quite likely to trust these messages and open the attachment."
Patches can be downloaded from the Web from various computer security firms
to identify and stop the worm.

Colleagues: I am exploring any practical ideas of selling surplus drinking
water from rainwater. One possibility would be water for aquarium
operators and fish suppliers in urban areas?. Do they need chlorine/fluoride
free soft water? Do they process city water now and how much does that
cost?
Our water is collected from our roof, stored in concrete cisterns, and treated
by a slow sand filter and UV before use. Our water has been tested. The
last month has given us a 4 years supply. We have had to disconnect all our
incoming water pipes.
If we were to bottle it, we coud earn $4,500 each time we emptied our
cistern, which could happen twice a year. However, this is not realistic,
at this time (water has no minerals?, certification, etc.) but it perhaps
illustrates the revenue potential if done at an Eco-Village, where bottled
water could become a cottage industry. A $9,000 yearly revenue could also
help provide another incentive (besides selling externalities, green
clean energy, utility savings) for sustainable housing and communities.
Is there any technical feasibility to reversing the water meter? Has this
been done before? I realize that quality is critical, just like it is with
PV-produced electricity that is put back into the grid. Any thoughts are
welcomed.

Dear Marcy:
Is that free-range chicken, or one of those moveable coops??
I guess with the berries you must have some altitude. How high is Fowler,
and doesn't that affect the fish?? Or are you doing trout??

What a great idea Jorg! Do you suppose there is
a market for bottled Hawaiian Rain Water?
Out of curiosity what brand of paint do you use on the
roof and where do you buy it. Some non-toxic waterproof
paint would come in handy.

I was fairly certain that we had had a discussion of potential species for
this type algae, but cannot find that particular set of correspondence --
partly due, I'm sure to my filing system, but possibly because the subject
line just did not reflect the actual content.
Does anyone else recall this bit of correspondence, or is my mind
misremembering? If it exists, let me know the general dates/subjects, and
I'll try to repost.
