Drawing lines in the sand

I don't think anyone reads this blog any more so I may as well put this here.

I don't mind losing something I may never have had.
My problem is with trusting someone whom maybe I shouldn't have trusted. Really thought I was past that.
It would have been nice to find out if everything changed and maybe I just wasn't to trust her in the dying moments.

I was terrified with the way you wanted to continue playing the game your way.

12 years is a long time to not know someone.
There were some fun moments but I was looking forward to discussing the bigger things in life with you.

I like knowing why.
I put all my eggs in one basket.
I never want to be in a rush.
I rarely have a backup plan.

Testing certficates on a server

Just been facing one of those problem where if you were dealing with it every day, you'd solve it in no time.
On some of my browsers across my many machines, I was able to access my works https site without any warning of being an untrusted source.
Firefox however, did not want to behave.

Apparently a browser can optionally look up the intermediate certificate from the one the server provides. Obviously this sort of automatic trust can be a bit of a security issue.

Finally found a site that did an independent test (wanted something automated and outside the network).
https://www.wormly.com
Pointed out the problem and even gave a hint on how to fix it.
Explained it to the network admin and he was able to track it down.
