My work IT department has apparently been doing some review of employee network use recently, because yesterday while I was meeting with one of my close coworkers, they came to his desk to "uninstall some unauthorized software" -- Spotify. Ooh, he was pissed ( Read more... )

So, etrace and I are back in our respective (for now) homes, after a fantastic 12-day stretch in the same space in the second half of December ( Read more... )
