I’m worried about Sheba my lovely and dedicated anonymous spouse. What worries me about Sheba is that in the not too distant past she has left the toilet lid up a time or two.

The only operational access should be from the inside of the facility or control center. An authorized operator must be in the building or facility in orderContinue reading “Keep those freaking hackers out!”

From the time I could first remember, my dad cut my hair. From about two-years old and up to age 13 my Okie dad was my exclusive hair stylist.
