AuroraMax

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

OK, so the connection to security is a bit thin.  But it's fun, and it's geeky.

In conjunction with the solar maximum, the Canadian Space Agency has, 
unadvisedly, launched a Website called AuroraMax.  This is making Webcam 
images of the aurora borealis available to anyone in the world with an Internet
connection and a browser.

Have your business continuity plans been updated to deal with the fact that
star- struck employees are going to be mooning (you should pardon the
expression) over these images, and increasingly so as the solar storm reaches
it's height?
