Real Estate
This weekly publication started off with a focus on information technology (since that’s what Ashton does), but then started to include random things that made their way to my inbox. The real estate items tend to get more clicks than anything else, but I wasn’t going to post this one until I saw the master bath with a working fireplace, tub in the center of the room, and a nice leather arm chair. I can’t tell if this is a den with a tub and sinks, or a bathroom in which to relax (image #16).
And there’s also this one from Australia; a house with no bathroom or kitchen sold for $4.7M (Australian) which is equivalent to $3.6M USD. The buyer is tearing down the house, so basically, they bought .13 of an acre. That’s some expensive real estate! I also get a kick out of the line later in the article “Henry Lawson used to live next door, and when the old blokes across the road were young boys, he’d pay them sixpence to drag him home from the pub in their billy cart.” Anybody care to translate?

Not Being Prepared
Recently, a former client called us. They’re a small business here in Cleveland with 10 employees, and they’d been hit by ransomware. You can see everything that made them easy targets, but consider that they lost tens of thousands in ransom payments and remediation fees, and that doesn’t even include the fact that couldn’t access any of their data (meaning they couldn’t work) for over a week. What would happen if your business was shut down for a week? (Oh, and they’re back to being clients.)
