…Continued from WDYLIA – Episode 2 – Part 1

During dinner we were supposed to be treated to a Austin-style fair-and-balanced all-genders-allowed wet t-shirt contest. (In a progressive nod to the PG-13 camp movie boobie-shot.) Unfortunately after a full frontal flash from an over-exuberant male competitor, the contest was shut down. Tim was in violation of part of the agreement the Drafthouse had with Camp Ben McCullough because of that. (At the bottom of this post is a link to the good pics from the contest and other pics from Harry and Co.)

Among the treasures an ethical computer consultant found were 200 internal company e-mails … and a database of more than 1,000 names, job titles, e-mail addresses and phone numbers

A quote that’s probably the understatement of the year (considering that the Blackberry went for $15.50) “It’s a violation of confidentiality, and it would really piss off the client if anybody found out about it. That’s not something you ever want to be public until it’s a done deal,” in referring to information on the PIM regarding a couple of transactions that were positioning for an acquisition.
