I’m sitting on Firesheep on a public hotspot at lunch in London, changing people’s status and tweeting out of their accounts that they should be using HTTPS in public. I had a rough morning so decided to engage in some positive anarchism.

Patti should use HTTPS://www.facebook.com on insecure public hotspots like the one at Galleria. If I was mean I could do more than just change her status

But I broke my own rule and logged on to MPF, then noticed that I had snarfed my own WordPress login. I logged out and then Firesheeped in here… And now I’m writing this while “Jack” is actually logged out.

Now that’s good security!

I’m reading about Life: A User’s Manual, and structuralist art theory. Thinking that I should do some for fun — having structures to explore helps creativity, I think. But maybe being conscious of them and inventing your own is post-structuralist?

Maybe it’s just not worth naming things. My point is that I’m rewriting a script and looking for some way of structuring it (artificially).

There have been some serious home-invasion style crimes in Victoria in the last few days. Reciprocating saws and sledgehammers used to cut through security gates and barred windows and smash thick glass.

My source tells me it’s a pre-Olympic crime wave that is one of the undesired, unpublicized effects of the event. International gangs move in, loot, and disappear in the confusion.

We just did a complete refresher and best-practices review of the gallery’s security policy. Please take appropriate steps to protect yourself.
