Well, I was born on a normal day in July, 1981 and have been creating chaos ever since. Born in North Carolina, but raised in the aftermath of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan, I have been messing around with computers nearly my entire life. I wrote my first program in assembly when I was 11. In my early teens I ran a BBS connected to Fidonet and started building a website for my band. In 1999 I was introduced to Linux, and it was love at first compile. I started my career in IT in the early 2000's doing IT for a Car Dealership in Charlotte NC. I wrote my first major web app in Cold Fusion (an ecom app) at that time. In 2006 I left Charlotte and moved down to Columbia where starting working as a developer, freelancer and consultant. Currently I am working as a freelance developer and DevOps consultant!!


Are people really this dumb?!

\n I really can’t believe this one. No, I REALLY can’t believe this one. I just got an email that appears to be offering my a job. The job in question would require me to have access to a company credit card and they want me to submit a credit application before I can be considered for the job. What are the red flags?

1) The name in the from line is Bethany and the email address is some wacko confab under gmail. And yet it is signed Richard Bennet.

2) The URL for the credit check is also really wonky. And, to make it worse, they didn’t even try to hide the facts that the url is ridiculous!!

Are people this stupid, really.

Trying to post a pic of the email, but my current connection to the interwebs is really wonky (I’m at Tech) so check back later to see the pic
