- CuD Survey About Ready
- ++++++++++++++++++
-
- Bob Krause has the survey of CuD readers about ready to send. The earlier
- announcement of the survey received positive responses, so he will send it
- out directly from his site. The purpose is to find out who the readership
- is. The subscribers are overwhelmingly professional (computer scientists,
- journalists, academics), with the rest divided up among students, law
- enforcement or computer security, and the generally curious. The results
- will remain in-house, although Bob intends to use some of the data for a
- conference paper.

- CuD Format
- +++++++++++++++++++
-
- We have tried to format CuD in response to the various suggestions that
- have come to us since we began. Since we moved to the current "standard"
- format, we have received few suggestions and no complaints. Sometimes a
- reality check is wise, so if you have suggestions, let us know. We
- currently format at 75 characters per line, but reader who print it out
- before reading may prefer 65 characters, our own preference. We are
- wondering if there is any strong feeling on the format, one way or the
- other.

- LEN ROSE UPDATE
- ++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
- Len Rose's trial is still scheduled for February. His situation, however,
- continues to cause problems. Although even by the least charitable
- assessment his crimes are not serious, the publicity and that "taint" makes
- it difficult for him to find employment, and he has no steady source of
- income whatsoever. His problems are complicated by the seizure of his
- possessions. He lost his equipment, and even if ultimately exonerated as
- Craig Neidorf was, the financial burden makes it impossible to support his
- wife and children. Strong arguments have been made in the past for hiring
- people with competent computer skills, especially those who possess
- expertise in the realm of computer security. Len has demonstrated his
- competence in the past as a programmer and as a consultant, and his skills
- would be an asset to any employer. CuD is not an employment bulletin, but
- there are times when those seeking employment should have an alternative
- forum to engage in their search, and we are willing to provide space on
- occasion to put potential employers in contact with candidates.
