In the meantime, I've a friendly reminder. It's something that seems to have been lost in the viral mess of Ebola and the constant drumbeat of war with and by extremists -- here and abroad:

There is an election in just a few weeks. 15 days to be precise.

Time to get the word out for whoever you support in this election!

Mornin' all..

Well, it's been a whirlwind weekend. And expensive. I had to drop $300+ on computer parts. But hey I was gonna do it anyways in the spring with my tax return, so instead I'm thinking about getting a Vespa.

omg- they've driven me straight up the wall. I know the election's important but geez louise take a flipping coffee break from calling me. Better yet try some nice green tea instead, mellow out a bit.

Morning. My next three hours are mapped out. By a single client's issue.

I'm still uploading graphic ads to our new website admin. We're hoping to flip the switch this evening.

Are you client's blithering idiots? You know who, when asked a question like, "What is your domain name?" they respond with, "my what?"

Nay good sir, my clients usually respond with silence for three weeks, then say 'send us the question again'.

With the election in the offing, I am re-evaluating my 2015 plans. My domain (see what I did there?) needs a working Tenant's Organization more than this city needs a rookie Counselor, I would think. A number of vexing incidents has galled me into some action this past weekend.

Is somebody thinking of becoming a "Community Organizer"?

Yes, that was my thought as well. Sounds like a waste of what started out as perfectly fine beer.

I haven't - why use cereal when you can use cocoa for cheaper? Yet another gimmick beer.

Our VP of network security is a hoot! This is his latest email:



Spartans!

My creatures! We have these agents of embarrassment called “Penetration Testers” who come regularly and do things to our business that highlight just how easy it is for business compromises to lead to compromises to the business.

It’s kind of embarrassing sometimes what they find. Who knew that the printer on the third floor had more rights in our network than even the highest grade Network Wizard. Score 10 for Slytherin! Lucky printer JAXHQPTR004 never requests a comfy chair, it already has too many rights!

Anyway, to keep this short I have to tell you that we detected a large number of accounts across the various domains that have had their passwords set to never expire. Bad thing.

So, we will be carefully winnowing this list with the help of the appropriately named Helpdesk and will be changing these accounts to require a password change. There are some service accounts in this list that I expect require this checkbox as a password cycle is out of their reach. For the rest of you, if you haven’t had to imagine a new password since 2002 then today is your lucky day.

Just remember that using a $ sign for an S does not make a password secure. Neither does tacking the year onto the name of your favourite teletubby. TinkyWinky2014 is trivial and entirely guessable, as well as being entirely unfair to Po. I have it on good advice that a memorable phrase from your favourite book (or perhaps the Bill of Rights if you are a Federalist) is the best choice.

If you absolutely must have a password that never expires then you need the approval of David Brown. Even David Brown requires the approval of David Brown to have this entitlement.

Let us know how this works for you, otherwise you can expect a password change prompt on an upcoming login.


Teletubbies, Federalists and Harry Potter all in one delicious package.

All of his emails are in this vein. He admitted to me when I sent him a fan email that he does this so people read the damn things.

No sign as of yet of a model RV with Easy Bake meth ovens, dinky pullstring Tuco Salamancas which yell: “TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT!” or tiny barrels of hydrofluoric acid with rubbery dissolving corpses inside. Surely it’s just a matter of time.
