Maybe This is Why Neal Doesn't Worry About His Radius?

[elrhiarhodan]

Very interesting article in the New York Times today: AP Impact: Some Ankle Bracelets Go Unchecked (or you can download the PDF here).

Apparently, law enforcement is so overwhelmed that they can't keep up with checking on all monitoring unit alerts.

I don't mean to make light of the tragedies noted in the article, but just pointing out that maybe Neal treats his radius as a joke because he's learned that no one ever checks up on him,

We can get to DropBox, which is weird, because IT doesn't like DropBox. Our proxy is bizarre (made more bizarre by us being a security software company).

We stopped writing the column because Patch couldn't afford to pay us. I miss writing it too. We are thinking of starting it up again as a blog.

I miss you tons and tons. I thought of you a lot last week when I saw some pictures from current filming of White Collar and when I needed a pic I knew was in the collection that you sent me for my Matt B'Omer project. (Not one I used; it was a still from "The New Normal.")

It's a Glee/Sports Night crossover. It wants to be finished (I am almost done with it), but I lost my writing mojo for a bit. It might be coming back; I will have to try.

I would be thrilled to see your story. I sometimes feel that Sorkin owns my soul and writes my dialogue. Do you have it in Google Drive (for which I can give you my gmail address) or do you need an e-mail address to send me a file?

::hugs::

The funny thing is that I can get to the DB website fine, the application link can't get through our proxy and IT is overwhelmed at the moment.

I do hope you consider keeping up a blog... it was always just a joy to read.

I can email the story to you...addy? And I really appreciate your eye on it. The first parts I'm happy with, it just goes somewhere weird and I can't figure out how to fix it.

Yeah -- the DB website and the app look different to the proxy. I don't know why. But my team uses DB for transferring files around the team, so we are glad that both the app and the website play nicely with our firewall and proxy.

We just got the right to repost the columns that we did for Patch, so that will be the seed for the new blog. No timetable right yet, but it's something we're both motivated to get up and running.

The best e-mail address to use for sending me files is gnomi [at] asknomi [dot] com. You could also just send it to me at gnomi [at] livejournal [dot] com; either way it will get to me.

(I debated using a Neal icon, then debated using a West Wing icon, and finally settled on the hug, which is what I really want to send to you.)

Thank you! Will send forthwith!
