As many of you know, in our small office the network server sits in my office. So do the spare laptops, and my own desktop with Admin access to everything in the building. Because of this, I take the extra physical security step of locking my office door at night. That means that my office doesn’t get cleaned like everyone else’s does and I have to get around to doing it myself when I have the time.

    This post by Meryl Yourish, called Yes, I am a Jew is really powerful stuff. It also has left me feeling rather melancholy, and thoughtful today. (Scary isn’t it?) Not that I’m Jewish, nor have I ever dealt with people who hate me for no reason than my ethnicity. But it does have me wondering…
