Kali Linux is a security-focused operating system you can run off a CD or USB drive, anywhere. With its security toolkit you can crack Wi-Fi passwords, create fake networks, and test other vulnerabilities. Here’s how to use it to give your own a network a security checkup

Slow day at the ranch, trying to get over this cold or whatever the current dread disease is. Also a chance to try out some stuff on the old blog.
This is a status update, so I don’t need a title and it gets fed to various other places like Twitter and Facebook.

My general impression is that the trend is toward law schools losing control over websites and servers as more of that infrastructure gets centralized by the University. I think law schools have failed to adequately institutionalize a need for a strong law school tech presence by marginalizing professional IT staff into relatively weak support roles. The result of this marginalization is a lack of strategic tech leadership in law schools making it relatively easy for the Dean to cede control of tech over to a central parent organization. Of course once that control is lost, it is very difficult to get back.

In the long run central control may work out better for law schools anyway since there is a lot more innovation in the use of tech to support scholarship and teaching at the University level than there ever was in the law school and centralized control makes it more likely that  this innovation will actual come to the law school.

Said I, because someone asked.

So here’s my weird social media trend for the month: over the past couple of weeks I’ve picked up followers, suggestions, connections, etc from a number of real estate agents in Silicon Valley, L.A., and Vegas. Makes me wonder if they know something I don’t.

For future reference.
If someone says something like “How about if I could click this and check that and then _voilà!_ it works” that _voilà!_ translates into approximately 496 lines of code and a new table in the database. :ghost:

But it is probably a cool new feature that is totally worth the work.
