This site is dedicated to SAFE HEX. Just like we practice Safe Sex, so should we practice Safe Hex. That is, protect our computers and the data we use from destruction and manipulation through knowledge. We cover, virus info and disinformation, password protection, physical and even environmental security. Other subjects are also covered. The content here is all original and not borrowed. If you find it useful, please let me know.

Basically, depending upon your fancy, you can visit the What's Hot page. It covers various subjects I believe of both local and national interest. Next is the Q&A/FAQ page. A lot of good info in there. It will dispell of a of myths that seem to be taken as fact! Don't forget to visit it. The FTP page let's you download the current versions of anti-virus software direct from their source in most cases. The Password Security page covers just that. You'll think twice about your chosen password after reading this. The Other Security page covers other security issues in a sort of FAQ like in Q&A. The Web Info page covers starting points on the web along with numerous links to local web authors and organizations to include the schools. If nothing else, visit Tom Rightmer's page or his son Nate's or the Jay Wood Memorial pages. The Reports page is just that. Basically local reports and trends regarding virus infections. The Resume and Consulting pages are about me. Just a little self promotion regarding anything not covered above and some background. The Guestbook is just that. It has one nice feature though, people can click straight to your site or send mail because of the format. If nothing else, it lets me know who's visiting this site and from where. I hope you enjoy your visit.
