I’ve been fiddling on tuning up my PHP/MySQL/Python familiarity for a new site project built to address some of the issues both of government spying — and occasional seizure of servers — and that of the staff of websites spying on the members. In addition to my own experiences with privacy issues and high-profile cases of things like Facebook admins reading the private messages of members, I read that half of workers snoop in confidential files, one in three IT staff snoop on colleages, and businesses routinely spy on employees. I find all of it extremely disturbing, and would like to see systems designed from the ground up around the concept that spying will be attempted, and that it will be attempted with direct server access or with access to the connection to the server — one needs to take that into account when designing the data formats, the logging systems, and every other system that records potentially confidential information. I’m going to take about a week off the ‘net to really get my ideas on this subject solidified so I can decide whether I want to apply them.
Other than that, Caitlin got out her theatrical makeup kit, and Nefarious first did her own makeup, then painted Caitlin’s face, then painted my face, and then had me repaint her face… Lots of fun. More pictures after the break.

That last photo is the best father daughter shot ever.
i love Ari’s makeup…she looks adorable!
Shannon, when you mentioned ‘server seizures,’ you wouldn’t by any chance be referring to The Pirate Bay would you?
The Pirate Bay is a great example, yes, but I’m more concerned with political and culturally difficult speech (dissidents, deviants, whatever), rather than somewhat overtly “criminal” behavior… Although I understand that there’s a big debate whether piracy is a political/cultural crime rather than a crime in the traditional sense of the word.
I wish my dad did this kind of stuff with me when I was a kid. I think parents would probably get a lot more out of this than reading yet another generic thriller.
Those are great.
The pirate bay run a hosting company that I believe hosts the wikileaks website and has got quite a lot of press recently for ignoring take down notices etc.
I’m sure you know about wikileaks but their hosting and infrastructure is worth looking at as they have been able to essentially ignore legal threats from several different countries now.
Cute pics as well :)
woohoo! you have your cut out for you with that security stuff. i would love to see something get developed that would help with privacy issues. i hope you have a lot of success with that project.
btw, looking at these pics gives me hope that maybe ill have a kid someday. so awesome!
YES! my beard is bigger than yours!
You’re a cool dad.
Those pics are wonderful! I wish my Dad did that stuff with me
:) You have made me reevaluate my decision never to have kids.
wow she has become such a beautiful little girl!
your the best dad ever!
Awesome pictures! that last one is the best father daughter shot ever, i wish my dad had been at home playing with myself and my sister, rather than out ‘playing’with some cheap whore.

Allrighty, I’m so drunk right now. And I think you and your daughter are so adorable! I wish that I’ll become half as awesome when I grow up. I realized that you are my idol just a few days ago. I wish you all the best!
she’s beautiful ! you both look so happy :)
OK Shannon this pegs My cute-o-meter! I am enamored! My dad always had time for me, always took time to create alliances with his kids and to this day I am a Daddy’s girl.
