It's slightly strange...

...but the largest amount of non-LiveJournal feedback I receive (specifically concerning my LiveJournal entries) continues to focus on what's wrong with LiveJournal security. Usually, in the case of old lags and former comrades, it's the familiar leg-pulling or banter ("You're STILL on LJ? Why, in the name of all that's unholy, are you using that...blogger's teabag of a security joke?" etc.).

It's a fair question, given the seemingly unending notoriety/user blindness out there regarding EllJay's rep in the wild. And whilst I poke fun at it all myself now and again (http://sensaes.journalspace.com/?entryid=250), the reason why you can read this entry if you're not in some mythical "inner circle" should speak volumes (I hope). Does anyone wear this stuff with pride? https://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?sid=121380&op=articles&p=1

Independent corroboration never hurts, though, so once again I'm grateful to arcanology_blog for following (and reporting on) the DEFCON proceedings:

The mishaps and marauders associated with (anti)social networking are little more than a niche interest, but I still try to keep a weather eye on where the money's generally headed...for old times' sake. ;o)
