What’s there to say? I’m Ido Dubrawsky and this is my blog. Over the years I’ve worked for a myriad of companies: DejaNews (remember them?), Globeset, Cisco Systems, AT&T, Microsoft, Itron and now Wells Fargo. I have opinions and I’m not afraid to share them. I’ve worked with computers and high technology for well over 20 years now (although I’m not as old as you might think given that bit of information). You’re welcome to comment and argue with me on things that I post here. It’s your right to do so…it is a free country…and hopefully it will stay that way.
Now some seem to believe that I’m a left-wing liberal…quite the contrary. I’m an independent who is a slight social liberal but lean more towards being a fiscal conservative (although I don’t buy that whole nonsense about all government spending is wasteful). I really don’t care much for either major political party and refuse to align myself with any of them (even the Libertarians). It seems that some can’t parse my perspective and choose to just lump me in with Democrats — that’s their choice (albeit wrong) — oh well.

[…] Ido Dubrawsky, a Microsoft employee, thought the moratorium was preposterous and wondered at the politics of its timing (thanks, Sue Salinger): I agree that environmental studies should be conducted to determine the environmental impact of any large scale solar project — the laying of transmission lines, the reclamation of water used in solar thermal power generation, and other issues are important. But to put a complete freeze on any new solar power generation project across the board for two years is downright short sighted. Especially at a time when the solar power generation industry is just now starting to come up to speed. […] […]

Hi Ido,
So what do you think of your new book on Security plus. I have spent over an hour trying to find reviews on it. There are a lot of choices out there. Care to give me your insight as to why I should purchase it. I see its just out so that is in its favor.
Any help on this decision would be appreciated!

Hey Tom…wow I didn’t see that comment until just now. What do I think about the Security+ book? I think it’s a good review book for those who are looking to take the CompTIA exam. That being said, I put it together with the idea that you already have some experience in security and that this is not all new material to you. If you’ve never done security before then you’ll want to brush up on some of the topics before you get the book to focus on what you need to know for the exam.
Again, sorry for the tardiness in the reply.
