You don’t need my passport…. Apr 14, 2014. I decided to switch web hosts over the past week and ran into a rather upsetting situation.

Oct 9, 2008. For some reason, many of my customers and many of those on the Drupal site have trouble understanding the Drupal permissions system. It’s actually extremely simplistic…and in some cases, too much so… The Basics Drupal is set up to do role-based. Oct 3, 2008. Anyone who has worked with me can testify – somewhat to my dismay – that my CMS of choice is Drupal, not WordPress. So why am I using wordpress when I could blog in Drupal…? Ever hear the phrase, “right tool for the job?

You don’t need my passport…. Apr 14, 2014. I decided to switch web hosts over the past week and ran into a rather upsetting situation. In an attempt to “verify” my identity, a major web hosting company requested a copy of my driver’s license or passport…but why? It may seem logical that if you give someone access to your systems, you want some proof of identity, but there are several huge problems here. These ID’s can be faked, especially if they want a scan/pic of the ID in question. Who gets to see it?

Apr 18, 2015. The occurrence of data breaches has been on a continual rise over the past 18-24 months. Some of this is arguably due to increased reporting, but what about the rest? How do some of the largest companies in the world manage to get breached by so-called “advanced” threats. There are many detailed reasons, of course. But I believe the majority of the issues lie at the intersection of complexity and common sense. How do you know? But what about larger organizations? Not hardly. Large organ...
