...I'll join you
Like many others on the shreds of my friends list (it's been dwindling steadily for some time), I will be moving to Dreamwidth. Same handle, same basic lack of activity. But I'll be over there. -
I'll see your one-pass overwrite and raise you two more
Today's work related reading and assessment included starting some compare and contrast review of NIST's Guidelines for Media Sanitization and the Canadian Communication Security Establishment's document on Clearing and Declassifying Electronic Storage Devices. I've only just got started on this, but one key point seems to be that NIST is ( Read more... ) -
...but you are gooey on the inside
Anyone who knows me may not be surprised to hear that I wear my heart on my sleeve.
While purplejavatroll has been working some extra time, I've been spending far too much time watching silly auditions on YouTube. I think The Voice, * Has Talent, X Factor or whatever is actually lowering my IQ. But I do like listening to people sing, so I guess. -
Wind-wounded, lopsided now
From Storm by Michael Longley. I googled until I found a line I liked ( Read more... ) -
From the office of the Pseudovisor
Someone thanked me today for giving him a forum where "I can just bitch. I feel so much better. I know you probably feel like shit, but I feel better. So, thank you." I think his tongue was firmly in his cheek. He knew I didn't feel like shit, for example. This was somewhat later in a meeting where I'd felt obliged to remind someone that I ( Read more... ) -
Procrastination as philosophy
I keep meaning to write something and post it. Well, here I am with about 20 minutes before I leave to go to aikido, hurrying to just post something. Anything ( Read more... ) -
Canon
I have been watching season 3 of Hannibal on Netflix. I have to say I love the writing, the acting, and the cinematography, which has been simply stunning for what's really just TV. But I've developed a weird theory while watching this ( Read more... ) -
[meme] Six Pix
I told buhrger that I needed a reason to post to help break the inertia, and it's taken me a week to even start drafting a response. So, that's working.
If you comment "Meme Me" and weren't the person who memed me, I will pick six of your userpics that you can then write about, thus maintaining meme balance in the LJ-verse. Feel free to propagate or not ( Read more... ) -
Snagged from Tumblr
Obtained from Mr. Ellis who pointed to this page. I have no idea on what basis the average is six, so I`d ignore that were I you. Possibly that would only be a sign that a person was not yet 30 or something. And, hmm, I guess ignore some of the repitition (Chronicles of Narnia contains The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe). I suppose one ( Read more... ) -
Vacation Part 2
From London, we went to Bath and stayed there in a lovely B&B. Reasonable walking distance from downtown Bath, lovely rooms, nice people running it. purplejavatroll and I wandered around a bit our first night there. We came to Bath on our first trip to the UK, I think, so it'd been quite a while. We spent more time in Bath on this trip, too. I took probably ( Read more... )
