| Other Interests: |
- Computer Security
- Alan has a longstanding interest in computer security issues, but gave
up co-operating with CERT when they failed to announce or do anything to
further the fixing of a serious Solaris 2.5 security bug which is now 15 months
old and still it seems unfixed.
- Gardening
- Alan recently discovered gardening. What this will result in is a mystery.
At the moment the count is an unbuilt shed, a lot of broken concrete and
two patches of lawn.
