ferenSpam doesn't pay, and payback is sometimes as simple as a Google search, or at least that is what a supposed "computer consultant" in the Chicago region by the name of Bernard Shifman is finding out.
It just goes to show you: if you don't want others to see it, don't get the 'net involved. It's a powerful medium, and the technical expertise required to navigate it is becoming less and less every day as new software and technologies are employed. After reading this I felt the urge to go do a vanity search of my name on Google, just to see what turns up. Nothing I didn't expect, and nothing I'm ashamed of seeing, either.

Date: 2002-01-09 09:07 am (UTC)Did a search on myself, out of curiosity. A fair number of Brendan Dunns out there...not a few hits to stuff related to me, but nothing incriminating. And I was glad to see I'm keeping pace with the #WT Brendan Dunn, roughly ;)
Oh my....
