    OK, THIS IS IMPORTANT!  

    This just in: https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/02/serious-cloudflare-bug-exposed-a-potpourri-of-secret-customer-data/

    Serious CloudFlare breach.

    "...end-user passwords, authentication cookies, OAuth tokens used to log into multiple website accounts, and encryption keys Cloudflare uses to protect server-to-server traffic were all at risk of being exposed. Cloudflare customers should at a minimum strongly consider changing passwords. " - Graham-Cummings, the Cloudflare CTO

    Changing password can't hurt.  They always say it was a small leak, then a month later the real news hits and everyone raises their hands in surrender.  Better safe than sorry.

    One of my feet hurt.   Not sure why.

    Is it the right one?  Or is it the one that's left?

     

    The left foot

    Autocorrect, probably.

    No doubt!  laugh  Or just plain ignorance.  I see a lot of misspellings in professional publications these days.  Once in a while, it could be a typo, but this often...it's just plain apathy.  I think there are no longer any proofreaders in the publishing business.

    Of course it's apathy.  And that's probably the one of the reasons there aren't good proofreaders either.  Nobody cares anymore.  Whenever I bring up grammar or spelling issues I get the defensive replies that "Hey, languages change.  Get over it!".  But it's been my observation that the ones who change the language are the lazy and illiterate.  I can hardly understand many young people today.  Not because they use new words, new words are fine, but because they mumble and mispronounce the familiar words.  Yet, try to let them know what they're doing and they get all defensive and act entitled.  And it's speed, speed, speed.  Sure we have computerized dictionaries that autocorrect things into absurdity but nobody checks.  Speed writing is bad enough but speed talking is just plain rude and conceited.  I believe they somehow feel that he who says the most, the quickest wins.  Yet most of the time they talk and talk and talk and say nothing.

    Yes, languages change.  New words creep in, spellings readjust, meanings change, but let's not blindly accept ignorance as the new norm,  Though I suspect it's too late,  sad

    Morning. Big bright blue sky seems to go forever outside my window, and warm. Hot really, but after the past month hey who is complaining about 30 degree temps any more :) ?

    Heard a good joke: Man goes to doctor says "Doctor I can't get out of bed in the morning, every day seems like endless torture and tomorrow promises to be much worse" Doctor says "Hey the great clown Poliarni  is in town, go see one of his shows and that will cheer you up." Man says "But Doctor I am Poliarni".  Hehe good joke, think from a Watchman script AFAIR :)

    Morning. Perfect Summer day here after a perfect couple of days on the water, hopefully followed by a perfect summer week, haz no complaints. Wishing it was easy to share our tomato crop on the www, can't really complain about that either :)

    Looks like you'll have some juicy tomatoes, there!

    Dana

    They are very tasty, some as big as small grapefruits musta done something right this year :)

    Autumn here tomorrow, February is always soooo short :)

    ...raw, windy, rainy day today that finally gave way to some sun in the last twenty minutes or so.  Feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, wrists and hands all hurting.  Little relief in sight as the next ten days will continue to be damp. 

    Need to go out ot the store in a bit to get a litre of milk for my nightly cocoa fix (helps me sleep very well). 

    Busy day tomorrow, decided to consolidate my trip to the attorney's and Social Security offices with other errands and my usual Tuesday evening meetup so I can do it all on a single day ticket.

    I'll admit to being a bit of a grammar nerd, but the number of professionally published books (by big reputable publishers even) coming out full of typos, spelling mistakes and common grammatical errors is very disheartening.

    My pet hate misspelling at the moment, particularly on Internet forums is "eh wallah" for et voilà (which of course, is French for "and there it is").
