So I am home, sitting here in my new Thai silk robe (yes, it's pink. Shut up.) and surfing the web.
I found that Dear Abby has written about blogging in today's column. But perhaps even odder is the letter in the second half from the IT person at some company telling about the things he can see going on on his network.
The IT guy says he's not nosy. But he also says, "On more than one occasion, I knew that someone had bounced a check before he did." Now, wouldn't that mean that he used their user information to log into their account and check this type of thing? Or was he intercepting their email? Seems to me he's an unreliable creepazoid if he can tell that someone's bounced a check like that.
Anyhow, I'll tell you more about Thailand soon.

"I'm not nosy, I just read people's e-mails for fun"
Posted by: IA at July 11, 2003 10:09 AMAs a former IT person I have to chime in. It's almost impossible not to see what people are doing on their computers. Every phone call is logged, including every digit pressed, and every web site is tracked. In financial companies, an IT person's sole job might be to monitor web sites and the computers that are accessing them. Once I noticed this woman had dialed 777-film and could have figured out exactly what movie she was seeing, where, how many tickets she bought and the credit card #. It's terrible but I could never get people to understand how little privacy they really had on the computer.
