Re: Virgin on the Ridiculous

I used to work for a company in the UK whose travel policy said that anything over five hours could be in business, but it had to be the cheapest the travel system suggested. Some bright spark worked out that if you searched for flights in a fifteen minute window the you could get Virgin Upper Class. Sadly this meant enduring free, unlimited champagne and a jacuzzi.

A likely "benefit" of Brexit will be Britain removing its GDPR rules which will then lead to EU countries not wanting to host data in Britain. I assume the risk of this is already putting companies off investing in the UK...

Re: Chocolate?

I had someone spill orange juice all over my laptop shortly before I was going to give a presentation. I quickly emailed someone my slides and then shut the laptop down. Luckily it was the days before discs were soldered on so it was a quick swap to have a functioning laptop the next day. The original laptop was ruined though...

Wasn't there a wear gloves / bare hands policy? Or were the boffins just strangers to soap?

Re: Hard to fight the feeling that had this been a regular person

I'm the almost the same sharing my name with two other people. It means that crap I posted on Usenet / The Internet when I was a teenager is trivial to find; however, I'm the only person to have published scientific articles with my surname and initial which is easy for people to find me.

Is this really a breach? Everything I've read said that the staff member tried to access the records and nothing suggests they were successful. It appears that the clinic has the systems in place to prevent unauthorised access to records which is a good thing.

It looks like my praise might have been a bit hasty, they're being investigated for not reporting the breach quickly enough

> Would the logs have been audited for a Normy being treated?

In ancient history, I temped in a Medical Records "Library" in a bog-standard NHS hospital, it was basically a warehouse with a a *lot* of paper files and microfilm. There were a few folders belonging to famous people[0] that were locked in the supervisors' office to prevent naughty staff taking a peak. Although, a search for a "Normy"'s folder's location would have been logged, there was nothing to stop you having a look.[1]

[0] Famous people included the local football team and a famous criminal beloved of the British tabloids

[1] By pure chance I did have to deal with a couple of sets of notes from people I knew, I was tempted, but just put them on the shelf as I did for the strangers' records

Well, he got the Brexit he wanted; Britain is both poorer and divided....
