First, The Consultant

Recently I was working with another “consultant”. I’ve deliberately put that in quotes because this person really lacked the skills to do the job he was doing, but for political reasons I had to refrain from pushing him out of the way and taking over. His lack of basic knowledge was frustrating, but I gritted my teeth and kept my comments friendly. It wasn’t easy.

Anyway, part of what he was doing was configuring a router. I had to hold my breath as he explained that he always left the default password unchanged because “it’s easy to remember”. After he left, and with the permission of the owner, I changed that. It’s just this funny idea I have that a router sitting on the Internet ought not to have a password that is known by a few million people and published on hundreds of websites. I’m funny like that.
