Ugh

Dear all,

The Powers That Be are tightening the securities are workplace and several of the programs (anything that syncs across computers, pretty much), don't meet their "security requirements" (though attempt to read the exact specifications leads me to a dead link and a file that no longer there). I know some people who are just going to ignore it. I and a few of my colleagues  are going to play it safe and get rid of syncing for a lot of things and removing personal info from a lot of things and because I'm paranoid, I'll be editing out some of the stuff from both recent and old blog posts in between experiments these few days as well.

This decision having been made, I realized that unlike some of the bloggers I know, I never bothered asking people if it's okay for me to blog about them / include their names. I mean my blog is fairly low traffic and I only ever use first names (and half of the time they're nicknames as well), so I don't THINK there should be any issues. But.

Common courtesy in blogging world: if I have blogged about you and you want to remove stuff about you from the blog / remove your name / come up with a new nickname email me. I'll send out an email reminder as well to those who may not necessarily be following this.

(I've gone and locked a lot of stuff for lj, which also uses usernames as pseudonyms sort of by structure, so I think I'm fine there. Le sigh.)
