Because I Care

Someone on my f-list just got the sack because of public work stuff in his blog. Sucks, but it does remind me of the rules I follow to keep from getting sacked over my blogging:

1. always f-lock your work posts
2. always anonymize company, customer, product and location ala $company, $customer, etc
3. always anonymize names or identifiable people
4. if possible, blog under a pseudonym
5. be sure to be aware of your company's policies on talking about them on the web.

Shit stays on the web forever. I've been burned before on email lists.
