You know I’ve been complaining about our failure to upgrade our infrastructure for years. But, what you may not know is what this failure has been doing to our need to incorporate alternative energy sources into our power supply. If you are under that (mis)conception, then you are NOT going to like the post today.

I apologize for the disjointedness of this second portion of the blog. I had written the entire piece (both part 1 and 2) a week ago- in one sitting. It was too long for a single blog, so I separated it to two. For those of you who attempted to view my blog yesterday afternoon, there won't be a surprise when I say that it had disappeared. While I was able to recover the rest of the blog posts, this post was created right after the last backup- and was therefore lost. I had to write a new version this morning in a hurry, to re-complete the analysis.

I just don’t get it.
Microsoft Exchange Server updates in March- and is exploited for ransomware via backdoors left in the software.

I sometimes (ok, oftentimes) wonder why folks keep letting things fall through the cracks. Sure, I can blame it on the Turtle, who wants no legislation passed, just wrong wing judges appointed. But, even he must care about folks who live in his state. Or, not, given the conditions that obtain in Kentucky right now…

Way back in time. Yeah…all of 20 years. Right after 9/11, America knew it had to ‘harden’ its infrastructure. Water supplies, natural gas, power grids- all of them were easily susceptible to terrorist attacks. Except, that was all talk and virtually no action.

Hold on to your hats, podna’… We might finally see some action.
