A review of “WALL·E”

I took the family out to see this on opening night. I thought this was a great movie with a great underlying message. From a 4 year olds perspective “we need a real Wall-E at home”. He sat there and watched the whole thing and loved it, him sitting still for that length of time is a miracle itself :)

A review of “Zero Day Threat: The Shocking Truth of How Banks and Credit Bureaus Help Cyber Crooks Steal Your Money and Identity”

I read this book because I really wanted to find the shocking truth about how banks help cyber crooks steal your money. What I found was some stories about crimes that have been committed, which I have read about before, but with more detail. What I didn’t find was much on how banks help with stealing money. It focused mostly on the Payment Card Industry and Credit Bureaus which do seem to help, but not really anything from the banking side that could actually be used to make a bank more secure.

I won a screen saver from Dr. Pepper

6/14/2008 – 4:25 pm

I twisted off a cap and after waiting for some flash to load, entering my email, creating a password and waiting for more flash to load, I entered my code. I won a screen saver. I remember when you could just twist of the cap and read if you won another Dr. Pepper or not, that was much better. So now I have a screen saver advertisement, I don’t really fell like I won anything….

Fun at Work

Lately I’ve been spending most of my time at working doing various sorts of documentation like policies and procedures. Lots of policies and procedures. Today I decided to take a break from that and catchup on a few other things.

I discovered that there is a Visio 2007 Connector for the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. Since we already keep things documented with Visio this caught my attention. It is really nice, I had to make a couple of adjustments to the maps and boom it was working. I don’t say it much but thanks Microsoft. Now I can quickly check any windows based machine from the map with a click. And it already helped me solve one issue.
