Close call

This afternoon I got an email from my boss with a link to my blog post about my paycheck. She warned me about writing blogs and such about work, but was understanding about my need to express myself. Thankfully, the entry she read was positive, who knows how things would have turned out if I hated my job.

She had been alerted to the post by a Google alert, something which I used to use when I was doing Playmais stuff so I understand how easy it is to stumble upon this stuff. Basically what the Google alerts do is pull alert you by email when certain keywords appear, in this case it was the name of my work place. Despite the pseudonyms that we use, it was pretty obvious that it was me, the check mention of bluehornet was pretty damning evidence.

So be careful out there, it is too easy to accidentally stumble upon things these days. Do not mention anything that can positively identify you. I think what we have so far is pretty anonymous, let us continue to speak in generalities.
