transparency

Posted by: admin 14 years, 10 months ago

Here's a good idea:

Sens. Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Barack Obama's (D-IL) bill creating a "google" for government spending was just voted out of committee and heads to the Senate floor. The new government feature, courtesy of the OMB, creates a single searchable database that lists the amount of taxpayer dollars received in the past 10 fiscal years and an itemized breakdown of each spending project (thanks to Rightmarch.com for the email pointing this out). Five words: What took them so long?

Just an FYI. I have turned trackbacks back on, with moderation. I didn't realize they were off ;).

Trolltech announced their Greenphone today. It is a development worth watching for those of us in the wireless application development space.

trackback-comment-spam

Posted by: admin 14 years, 10 months ago

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but we've been busy on other things and I have been trying to deal with trackback and comment spam, which according to our ISP was causing a DOS attack. I find that a bit hard to believe, but there you have it. The connection seems to be working again. We also upgraded the web server and added squid and mod_security. Comments and trackbacks are still turned off until I can fine tune mod_security enought to feel comfortable turning them on again.

tsa-worker-sentenced-for-falsifying-reports

Posted by: admin 14 years, 10 months ago

According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Robert Wilson, 51, of Ellenwood, Ga. will be doing four months in federal prison for falsifying records.

From about November 2004 to January 2005, Wilson filed at least eight inspection reports with TSA that contained false information. For example, Wilson falsely claimed that he inspected gates that were in fact closed and inaccessible due to construction. Wilson also falsely reported that he had made an inspection of an airline to ensure its compliance with security regulations. Wilson also falsely reported that he performed some inspections with TSA employees who, according to time and attendance records, were not on duty at the time.
