thanksgiving

Posted by: admin 13 years, 7 months ago

It will probably be a little quiet around here for the rest of the week as it's the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I'll still be checking my e-mail via the blackberry, of course :). Thanks to all who have made this a great year for WiKID.

voting-round-up

• Remember to vote today, or there is no way your vote can be mis-counted
• It's expensive and screwed up notes Adam
• Unattended voting machines turning up, just waiting for manipulation
• If you're a Govenor or a member of Congress chances are that you won't be able to vote.
• I bet that pansy Ed Felton never thought of just busting the crap out of Diebold machine with a metal cat paperweight. NB: I am assuming that the guy didn't own the pansy-esque paperweight, but just borrowed it from his roomate/grandmother.
• If you're frustrated with both parties, just vote for Somebody Else, at least it will test the write-in functionality of your voting machine.
• No matter how many issues there are with voting macines, nothing will happen because the macine makers have come up with the ultimate distraction and surely the top news story: Brittany Spears files for divorce.. It's Diebold-olical!

incentive-plan-for-an-information-security-team

It has occurred to me that you could develop an interesting incentive program for an information security team, assuming that you believe a couple of data points (or can come up with your own) and your primary concern is a data breach. In my opinion, security people are all too often incented only to maintain security - not to optimize the investment in security. Interests need to be aligned.

MSNBC has the a story:

MOSCOW - Intentionally or not, the Russians fed out audio of Thursday’s closed lunch meeting between Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, revealing a fractious exchange over the wording of an official Group of Eight statement on Iraq.
