in my face...

Fine. I give up. Facebook rules the world. What the heck. I'll sign up.

I've followed the Sophos recommendations on security settings, which took quite a while to wade through.  If Google's mantra is "Do no evil", I think Facebook's is "G'head, it's just a little apple".

It's a actually a little scary, seeing the "Who you might know" list.  A couple (recently) former co-workers: ok.  A close friend or two: fine.  A woman I went on a couple dates with: weird.  But a guy who worked for one of our subcontractors off and on a year or two ago?  Somebody who, if he's the Murray I think he is, came down from Phoenix twice to play with a Taiko drum group I was in four years ago?  WTF?

I think those privacy settings are Good Thing (tm).  And that this is enough Facebook adventuresomeness for a while; let's just let it lie fallow and see what sprouts.

  1. So, you're on facebook...
    But no one can ask to friend you, or even send you a message. (By no one, of course, I mean Stephan and myself.)
    It's a limited sort of social networking, isn't it?

  2. I'm a socially limited guy....

    Tell you what: if I can find the box that has the bag that has the feet for the rack the stereo system goes on before I have to crash tonight, I'll take the time to review my facebook setup and open it up a little.

    (Note that I'm not promising to put anything on that page; I can't even write a blog entry each month.)
