Short day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Leaving the office a bit early today, to get an early start on the holiday weekend. I’ve managed to put myself in a pretty good spot by making sure I got all of the “must-do” work for the week done over the past few days, leaving myself free to have a relatively relaxed day today, as long as nothing breaks. (keeping my fingers crossed!)

Anyway, we’re planning on going down to a little park in our neighborhood that has a good view of downtown to see the fireworks display tonight. (Taking my 4 year-old nephew along with us) Then tomorrow we’re having the family over for the birthday celebration. (My birthday is tomorrow, my Mom’s is Sunday and my brother’s girlfriend’s was Monday, there’s a lot of writing on the cake!) Saturday will find us traveling to Dayton with some friends of ours. There may not be much online time…

Anyway, hope you all have a good weekend!

    Stephen Gielda has a nice little article about internal system security, and stresses how the weakest link in network security is inside your office, not outside. Monday for me has been rather uneventful. Staff Meeting this morning didn’t even ruin my mood for the day like it has consistently the last few times we’ve had…

    Here’s some even more bad news, from people who obviously are just clueless, yet somehow wound up in positions of power: Driver’s license as De Facto National ID?. Here’s a quote (and a fine example of just how clueless some people are): “These are state motor vehicle departments that will have these databases. This is…

    Haven’t seen any of this new Trojan posing as Windows XP update around our email server yet. The last faxe MS update came through here without incident as all of my users who thought it might be an actual update forwarded it to me to see if they needed to apply the update. (Our ISP…
