Why I don’t Facebook nor Twitter
I get asked all the time why I’m not on Facebook, nor on Twitter.
When an employee or contractor leaves the company, it’s best practice to immediately disable their access to company resources.
In the digital and online world, it’s easy to miss some forms of access, and remember off-hand every single system where the employee’s access should be revoked.
The level of risk increases when the employee separation occurs involuntarily, which might create a situation where the former employee is disgruntled, and increases exponentially if the employee has administrative privileges to sensitive systems.
In this article, I will attempt to outline best practices for a policies and processes around identity and access management, enumerate specific forms of access, many of which might be overlooked, and share some anecdotes resulting from the failure to properly revoke a terminated employee’s privileges.

Meanwhile, the two most common screw fasteners, “slotted” (standard) and Phillips, are both problematic.
Aside from laptops and other mobile computing platforms, I am a long-time user of hand-held computing devices.
I’ve assembled a chronological list of the devices that were most used or useful to me.
There are many kinds of blank or empty values, that mean different things.
Cooking a whole brisket is normally a 10 to 12 hour process for me, not including prep time, cooling time, nor the time it takes to cut it (brisket has to be cut properly, or it doesn’t turn out well). End to end, that works out to 14 to 15 hours.
I worked out a process for cooking a smoked, whole brisket in 4 hours (cook time), making the end-to-end time about 5.5 to 6 hours.
