My friend Richard came over to watch the semi-final game on Saturday between Kentucky and Louisville. It was a historic game in the rivalry and a very big deal here in Louisville.
He brought his iPad with him wanting to get on the internet. He asked me, “What’s your encryption key to get on your wireless.”
“I have to look it up. It’s like 27 characters long.”
While I logged onto my admin page to look it up, he tried unsuccessfully to jump on an unsecured network from one of my neighbors.
“Why is it so long?” he asked referring to my encryption key.
“Dude. I’m in IT.”
Seriously? Does he want me to have an easier encryption just make his life easier? He seems to be missing the whole point of it.
He was able to log on after successfully typing in the encryption code on his first try.
The game was thrilling. A good time was had.
I changed the encryption key after he left. My encryption key was no longer secure and I am in IT after all.
