Revenge of the Nerds

Below is the chat history of Mike, our friendly IT expert, playing a sick and cruel joke on our Lawyer friend Kirk. A little background: Kirk was nice enough to get Mike's company into his firm as their IT consultants. Mike now calls on Kirk's company with regulular IT updates and services. Angelo is Kirk's boss. Internet Tracking software would allow Kirk's boss to see what Kirk does on the Internet all day.

A few lessons to learn here -

1. Mike and his nerd friends have more control over us than most of us are comfortable with.

2. Careful what you do on your 'free time' at work.



Mike: yo

whats angelos phone #

Kirk: why, your guy is here

Mike: he wanted to talk about internet tracking software

Kirk: really?

Mike: yeah

Kirk: seriously

Mike: sorry buddy. since your shit got stolen he's concerned w security

Kirk: what the f does internet tracking have to do with security

talk him out of it

Mike: I'll tell him its 10 grand

Kirk: don't lie, just tell him that it is useless for the purposes of security

Mike: but its not

it tracks both ways

Kirk: what do you mean?

Mike: connections coming in as well as out

Kirk: fuck

fuck

Mike: I can tweak it so you are ok

maybe

Kirk: is it expensive?

Mike: 2k w our services

Kirk: plus 1k monthly updates

???

Mike: u wish

Kirk: with the 2K service, what kind of traking can they do?

Mike: reporting or real time

however he wants it configured

I'll play it down. you have his number

Kirk: with info about sites visited at times and stuff? damn. ###-###-####

Mike: time stamp, site visited, and computername it came from on the outgoing side

thanks

Kirk: son of a gun - so basically I can't do anything anymore

Mike: I'll talk to the guy who works with it all the time and see what he can do

Kirk: ok



Don't worry...Mike was just kidding and no Internet tracking software is currently loaded into Kirk's computer...or is there?!?!?
