Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Amena Caladharas. Born 6519. Amena (which means “honest woman” in gaelic), is the daughter of Thorongil Caladharas. She was killed back during the first House War in the year 6547. She was 28 years old when she became pregnant with her only child Thorondor Ian Caladharas, and died due to injuries sustained in the Sombra Bombing when Ian was a month old.

I know I saw it more than a few times when I was in the IT industry. If you’re the only one using a terminal/computer, sometimes you do things that are not always sound from a security standpoint.
We had a number of machines (that were DOS based CNC machines) that were wifi’d, and they were set up to autologin/and not auto logout, and connected to our company network to pull files off. It was a big security hole, but it was done on a regular basis during meeting times.
I’ve been a Network Admin so I tend to be a little overly critical of these things. In this case, if there is only one person who has access to the terminal then there is some rational to doing it. Especially if you’re only using the terminal once every hundreds, if not thousands of years while trying to remember the damn password.
