The New York Times! Congratulations, again, Dave & Userland. When the celebration ends, what's the process for getting the next 10 partners - then, the next 50? Who will be next... Wall Street Journal? Forbes? Fast Company? Newsweek? The Register? The Economist? The Washington Post? Fortune? Wired? 9:53:28 AM     Comments[]

The Security Onion Someone recently said that a business needs to think of security like an onion - in layers. There should be waves of protection that range from physical barriers to entry to technical barriers to entry to logical barriers to entry. My consulting engagements are typically with companies of 100 employees or less. Often these businesses don't have an I.T. department. The closest they come to having a sysop is analogous to the "key operator" that handled copier problems. These businesses are getting mixed signals about security. Stories like this one make it clear that market leaders aren't necessarily the places to turn when something as important as security is at stake. Symantec spills email addresses of list subscribers. Tut, tut [The Register] Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing initiative will be scorned the first time something like this happens to the company or those using its software. 9:10:21 AM     Comments[]

Job seekers? (Disclaimer: This post is intended as a way to give back to many who have helped me as I've attempted to learn weblogs, site design, etc. Many weblogs I have read indicate that the author is out of work or searching. Here is one resource I've used in the past and will be using again shortly!) If you are considering a career move, are out of work or think it's time to do something on your own, let me suggest www.48days.com. Dan Miller runs this business. You can subscribe to Dan's free weekly email newsletter with the certainty that you will not get spammed. Each week his newsletter provides thought-provoking topics and encouragement that many people have found to be welcome additions to their job search. Dan's business is in the Nashville, TN area. I'm in Memphis, TN. We don't have a Craig's List or a lot of "pink slip parties" in this part of the world. We do have an abiding faith and, while you won't be beat over the head with it, you'll find Dan's perspective on where faith fits during the stressful times of a job search. I've never met Dan, but I've used his products and services and have helped many others with their searches. As I enter a career dilemma, Dan's resources will be in my own toolkit. 6:33:02 AM     Comments[]
