December 16, 2011 - Oh sure, do it the easy way!

All the managers acted so groanly,
‘Til I set the file rights as “read only.”
Since it’s working, I mused
Since that log isn’t used,
That it probably felt kinda lonely.

December 15, 2011 - Does anybody really know what time it is?

December 13, 2011 - Security: theory and practice

If a user they need to assist,

“There’s a hamster inside
Running hard in the wheel in its cage.”
