No, you don't get to find out where I work, but ....

This is a not-at-all atypical example of the logic they use at my workplace.  Can you relate?  If so, again, my sympathies.

Cybersecurity policy:

We would like you to use no less than 20 passwords as part of your duties, each with different requirements regarding length, character content, change frequency, and history.  We urge you to make each one memorable.  We urge you to never write them down.  We urge you to change them all every 30 days.  We've reserved a room for you on an inpatient psychiatric unit for when these requirements have their inevitable effect.  In the interests of efficiency, please generate a password for accessing your room on the inpatient unit now.  You will need to update it before you can access your room.  Have a nice day.

Greetings

If you've stumbled across this blog then you are probably a very bored individual.  My sympathies.  Also my empathy.  We all get a little bored from time to time and end up aimlessly crawling through the intertubes, wondering where we may end up.

So if you're reading this, you've ended up, well, here.

I assume at some point I'll put in a more definitive statement of purpose, scope, and, well, identity but for now I'll just say this is a place for me to write Random Stuff I thought someone, maybe even you, might find interesting.

Let's see what happens.
