Excerpt from an email from the head of our IT department at work:
To ensure security of your system and the corporate network, do not open any email unless you know the individual and can trust the person or content. DO NOT open eCards or click on any website links in an any email. Even emails from known individuals can be suspect, especially if they themselves have been hacked. So make sure you are aware of the emails and websites you are accessing.

In other news, India is about as much fun as I remembered it being, and the 12-hour workdays are killing me. By the time I get back to the hotel room, all I want to do is sleep. So I doubt I'll be online very much over the next month. I'm drafting entries piecemeal so I may/may not have a post up about once a week, depending on my level of productivity.
