The Moat
Ever since The Google’s impenetrable fortress of impenetrability was penetrated by The China, our boss/CEO has been terrified of The China breaking into our company and stealing all our IPs.
Despite the fact that we don’t use password authentication, ldap, Windows, or IE8, apparently we’re still at risk. The only real solution (it would seem) is to isolate all our IP infrastructure from the rest of the world. “Air between.” A moat. A void. Isolated. So this may be the last time I can access the internet while at work.
Yes: no twitter, no MSN, no gmail, no ruby-doc.org, no google searches, no company email (that’s on the “outside” side), no printers (ditto). Someone apparently didn’t think it through too much before drawing the line.
Anyway, just letting you know, I might vanish. If anyone should notice.
