To my Friends in Sales: I get a lot of sales calls, and I don't mind it, but it means that I've got to keep them quick or they quickly take up too much time. So I created this list of tips for you so we can make the best of your time and mine: I will ask questions on the introductory call about features and prices. Please be ready to answer those. I want that information so I can decide if

Employees are frequently cited as being the weakest link in security. Rather than argue this point, I'm just going to reference a few articles here and move on (Fortune, Fraud-magazine, Forbes). Now, in general, employees are considered the weakest link because they don't always make smart decisions. For example, in one company I was at, a phishing email was sent out to many of the employees

I was asked by Code.LikeAGirl.io to write an article for them about my time teaching kids how to code. If you'd like to read it, you can see it here. I was in 6th grade, and we were brought into the computer lab for our last lesson in coding. On the screen blinked a green cursor in one section of a screen, and there was a solid green triangle in the other. About two dozen children anxiously

Installing and using the Google Authenticator was pretty easy. I give credit to howtogeek.com for their straight forward instructions on using it. However, I wanted to change some things about their setup. You'll find my instructions to be similar to theirs, but with some important differences. This was done on Ubuntu 14.04. Install the google auth pam module: sudo apt-get install

This happened with a program that I needed called lockfile, that I couldn't figure out how to install. It ended up being in the procmail-3.22-203.1 rpm. The command I used was this: rpm -qf /usr/bin/lockfile I found that tip here: http
