About Clay

I'm a Data Center Operations Engineer in beautiful Charleston, SC. I'm happily married to my wonderful wife Nan and we have an teenage daughter Lela. I'm a total geek. I got into electronics when I was around 9 or 10 and got hooked on computers shortly thereafter. I also love Sci-Fi, (not fantasy) particularly Star Trek. My favorite outdoor activities include rollerblading, biking and hiking. I'm also a bit of a car guy and amateur racing driver.

Manager mistakes default page for hacked site

Oklahoma city threatens to call FBI over ‘renegade’ Linux maker

As I read this article I had to check the date and make sure it wasn’t April 1st already. Aparently the city manager of Tuttle, OK went to visit the city website one day and to his surprise found the default setup page for CentOS instead. Even though the boilerplate page clearly says what it is, and why it might be there, the manager was convinced the city had been hacked by CentOS!! I won’t ruin the rest for you, but suffice to say it’s a miracle this guy still has a job.
