Security - Updated

Thanks Lora for the post on the Harvest night. I'm looking forward to it...and yes, GNO was fun.

I want to bring your attention to the comment under the Harvest post. It's odd. The profile is odd. The 'joker' has a blog in a different language. He's (?) following this blog now. That bothers me.

Daniel just forwarded me a very long email about the twitter hack. It was a bit disturbing on the security front. I am going to put some real thought into taking my main blog private, but I think it might be even more vital with this one that tells when and where we will be. The thought of having random people lurking makes me a little sick to my stomach.

I do want this to be open to anyone, but I really think it might be best to have it be private and add only those that we know - of course still being welcoming to anyone that might be interested. What do you think?


Update: After talking more to Daniel about the comment left, we've realized that Lora mentioned Michael Jackson in her post and the commenter is obviously a fan if you look at his profile. Still disturbing though. I do think I will take this blog (but not my main one) private. I might change the address to match the title too. I like it better.

  1. It's scary to know there are creeps out there who stalk innocent people. I think privatizing information (using code names, not giving out locations for events, or going "private" on a blog) is an unfortunate reality that we must all face. I'm all for it; especially if you invite me!
