Gods, did I tag *him* right.
Network/connectivity class with Sandstrom just now.
After class, he held informal court in the courtyard, with half the CIS students clustered around him. I brought up the idea of a security club. He thought it sounded fascinating, and would be perfectly willing to be the instructor babysitter for same, and even worked out how to restructure his schedule to reflect that. (!!)
He said that the problem with the idea of a security club was that more than half the students signing up for it would only want to learn how to hack, and not wanting to learn the real stuff.
I told him that I'd had a mental image of club members pairing off, and one doing the hacking, and the other doing the fixing up, and then switching and doing it again. He said that sounded like a good plan. (In fact, it was a pretty amusing plan, to judge from his expression.)
Then, of course, he proceeded to give me linkage: http://www.securityfocus.com, http://www.cyberarmy.com, and described his experience with same to me. Some old war stories about his promotions, belike. The Azzgrin came out.
I think he's tagged me as a potential Hope for the Future. I know I've tagged him right as an OH. (The computer version of OG?)
Earlier, as he was packing up from class, he made a comment about the temperature. "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"
The Azzgrin came out, and I tried *not* to say anything.
He preemptively hushed me, as he knew from that grin that there was some response that might not be appropriate in that response that I had brewing.
I mentioned that in that case, it was just as well that my partner in crime wasn't present, as he and I got up some pretty interesting things to say together.
He mentioned that my partner in crime was bad enough by himself. (I'm pretty sure he knows who my partner in crime is, as I've lurked in m'love's class between classes enough...)
But... guh. I mean, when a truly fine guy asks, "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" ...what do you answer?
