Problems Solved….
Managed to steal a laundry time and I managed to fix my computer…
…so now it is party time 🙂
Stupid Desktop Computer! :-(
My desktop computer won’t start up at all. I have put in the Windows XP CD to try and get it into recovery mode but even that doesn’t seem to have the desired effect and it is i taking hours and I must leave on Sunday afternoon.
And there is no slot for laundry so unless I steal someone’s time, I will have no clean clothes.
Today is not a good day 🙁
It’s Been A Long Time…
lj-mood: awake
lj-music: This Body – Janet Jackson
And I am not really sure to be honest
why it has taken my such a long time to write anything in my journal. It
is certainly not because there are a lack of stories or information to
share with you all. It has more to do with the fact that I have been
so incredibly busy and in some casesstressed out that I have not had the
opportunity really to spend the amount of time that I want to to write
things down. So in fact I am writing this in e-mail in the back of
a taxi.
Life in general has been quite okay
if I must measure it against the greater things of what is important. My
work is challenging but good, friends have gotten married, others have
gotten divorced, and I have made an effort to keep in touch with those
whom I have not communicated with regularly via e-mail. In the time
that I have written (and I can’t remember just now how long it has been),
I have been to Budpest, traveling around the Nordics to Helsinki and Copenhagen,
and have made lots of new friends.
It’s kinda like I don’t even know where
to begin to explain the missing period of my life that isn’t recorded in
LJ right now. But now matter…for the moment, it’s a beautiful spring
day in Copenhagen…and I will enjoy the day and the weather….and maybe
do some expense reports since American Express is sending me love letters
again.
Enjoy the day boys and girls 🙂 And
I will write some more soon 🙂
Information Security Failure…
This artcile is actually pretty good…
http://www.securityabsurdity.com/failure.php
Where I think it doesn’t do enough justice is by neglecting to note that security transcends technology…meaning in my view that most of the technical and security laspes that we experience today start first with social engineering….click here to see XYZ celebrity without clothes, a businessman in Nigeria just needs a small amount of money to unlock a vast fortune…open this attachment urgently and without delay…and so on and so forth.
I feel that we have a fundamentally flawed security model that says make security passive towards the user…it just works in the background. But that is only part of the solution. The real solution is to get the user base educated and aware of security, so that the next time they get an offer in the mail that’s too good to be true, they would instinctively know that the offer probably is too good to be true.
Hi everyone
I hope this message finds everyone okay. Things with me have been okay. Very busy but that is just like everyone else I imagine. The last 2 weeks have been crazy for reasons that I can’t go into here. I have fell off the wagon a couple of time in terms of some personal goals, but at the same time I am making progress in other areas of my life.
I’ve had both really good news ans really sad news in the last week. But I’ll get through it all…both good and bad.
In the meantime, I hope that everyone is doing well with lots of hugs! 🙂

Ahhhh…..
I just have to say…even though it is 02.00 in local Helsinki time, by hotel room has a sauna included and I decided to experience it. Man, more than ever, I am convinced that my summertime renovations will include expanding the bathroom to include both the sauna, and the bathtub with the jacuzzi jets (I already have this) and shower nozzles built into the walls so that it feels more like rain than a shower.
I just have to save the money for this all…
but an in-room sauna is the perfect treat along with the nespresso maker they leave in the room. 🙂
Leaving on a jet plane
So now I am on the train to the airport. Going to Paris. Matt has graciously offered to let me stay at his place so I don’t need to worry about hotel.
This weekend will be fun 🙂 Even if I have a ton of work to doon the plane. 🙁
Oh why can’t you hear me when I speak so clearly
This weekend was a waste.Did not accomplish much I must admit. Managed to work on my e-mail. This week will be busy as well. Will be in Paris, Oslo, and Copenhagen this week. But I am happy at the momentso I guess that is what counts.
And I hadanother great workout yesterday too 🙂
