The Unhandled Exception

This evening I found out that either someone hacked my Facebook, or my phone network routed me through Tampa, FL (seen something similar before, just not so far away).  Regardless, I have to say that Facebook seems to have fairly decent security mechanisms.  

That being said, I can’t stress enough how important it is to make sure you’re as secure as you can be Facebook, so here is how to turn SSL on all-the-effin-time (except with some apps/games that don’t support it, *le sigh*).

• Visit: https://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php
• Next to ‘Account Security’, click ‘change’.
• Under ‘Secure Browsing (https)’, click the ‘Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible’ check box.
• Now click ‘Save’.

There, doesn’t that feel better?

To be honest, it was probably my weak ass password (for shame!), and not browsing over a non SSL connection that got my account compromised, but this important and you shouldn’t hesitate to do it.

Hopefully by the time you read this sentence, you will have enabled SSL.

Seriously.  Do it.

Living in the Cleveland area, there aren’t a lot of “fun” places to drive.  By “fun”, I mean low traffic, twisty roads.  We do, however, have the metroparks.  That’s as close as I can get to the mountain roads I’m used to back home.

So, today I took a bit of time to map my route home through the metroparks:

If you’re familiar with the area, and can think of a better way, make me a map!
