Morning Rituals of a Geek

rockfordAs I do every morning, today I got my coffee started and fired up my laptop.  My first stop is to check my mail - need to know if I was important over night!  By the time I've sorted out the spam that did not get filtered and the real mail that did get filtered the coffee pot is calling, so I stop for a cuppa.

First cup down and grab another before getting back to business at hand.  Need to check my tweets - 5 DM's and god knows how many other tweets.  More coffee. Facebook is next!  I play a game of Farkle to try and set a new high score then check up on what has happened in the Facebook world of mine.  Not much, so it's time for another cuppa. (Note to self - get bigger coffee pot!)

Now it's time to check on my forum work at SpywareHammer.  Although there are "How to ....." posts at the top of the forum most people just don't seem to read.  As I shake my head about some of the interesting things I've read it's time for another cuppa. (Coffee pot is empty - start another one)

Now I can check on and read things for fun and or informational virtue.  My Tweetdeck keeps interrupting with new tweets and FB updates so I better check that real quick(and get another cuppa).  Ok, so back to the forums and what do I read in a post there.

Facebook URLs can reveal your browsing history

Huh?  What's this?

Ever copied a Facebook link from your address bar and pasted it to someone? If you have, there’s a possibility you also sent that person a snippet of your Facebook browsing history. In this article, FBHive explains how and why this happens, and what can be done to prevent it.

So I have to leave for now to go and read more here.

With this info,

Safer Surfing!

P.S.  I will buy a bigger coffee pot later today!
