Logging out

Is is recommended that we log out at the end of each session, either for security purposes or to free up system resources?

If you’re in a secure location, don’t think it makes that much of a difference. (Hal Briston may disagree with me about being secure at work, though.)

Certainly if you’re accessing from a public location, you want to sign out. Or if it’s a shared computer. That’s just common sense and should be true of all your online activity and not just here.

snicker we’re not ever going to ever let him forget that are we? :smiley:

Object lesson. Not meant to embarrass. If I worked with jokey people around my cubicle or shared an office with someone prone to do jerky things like that I’d be locking up my computer every time I walked across the room, even.

(FTR I learned my lesson after a cow-orker changed my keyboard mapping to Dvorak. Try it yourself sometime.)

Forget what?

What happened? Tell me, tell me!

Actually, if you feel like telling me, you can email me. Hal might not want to relive it.

On the subject of logging out, I had a supervisor who, during a period when I was freelancing, wrote an email from my computer under my login, stating I was taking the blame (which I had theretofore refused to do) for a big screwup that was her fault. And there was nothing I could do about it.

Thaaaat’s right everyone…“forget what?” is exactly the attitude we all need to take about that…incident.

Cool, I got the big fish to bite, didn’t even hardly have to set the hook… :smiley:

Where you been, Hal? We figured you were on the lam…

He’s a bit shee… Nope, nope, not gonna do it, nope.

Ewwwwwwww, that’s enough already.
