Bytes and Bites

Bytes and Bites From Altitude Data And no, that's not my computer. Not me either, but hey. Sometimes I learn things that some folks might be interested in, sometimes I just run across a particularly interesting case, or make new connections or observations that eventually wind up in the bottom of my ever growing pile of other soon-to-be moot bits of data stored on my biological hard drive. Might call it a mental compost heap. Tech is sorta like a garden, if you think about it. The veggies you live on, the flowers for fun, the weeds that come from nowhere and the bugs you hate. The compost of the ancient stuff. (From, like, last year.)

Security


Jaunted down to a security conference in Denver and finally started hearing the things from a security provider that I have been thinking for a long time should be pretty standard. Trouble is, it just isn't. Or hasn't been if you don't have the manpower and money to monitor it 24/7, and let's face it, even the government can't keep people out, so if you get a really dedicated hacker, they will weasel in.

But what if we could actually tweak the open source option and see what we could come up with for the small business that just wants to KNOW that all is well? Sounds like a rabbit trail we might go hopping down here pretty soon. My own linux guru and I might just see what we can see and then how and if it would port over to Windows. Keep ya posted!
