Swimming with the pilot fish

I was catching up on my Crypto-Gram reading yesterday and followed a link to this security horror story. That introduced me to the Shark Tank for the first time. It makes for some pretty humorous reading. It's written in the style of all the other computer rag rumor mill columns, but focuses on things that go wrong in the IT industry:

Clueless consultants? Bungling bosses? Useless users? Tell me your tale. If it gets printed, you get a sharp Shark shirt.

There are some great stories there.

If you enjoyed the Bastard Operator From Hell (BOFH) series that was floating around for years and eventually ended up at the Register, you'll probably like this.

The May Crypto-Gram also linked to Stupid Security, which is also a pretty interesting read (and has an RSS feed). It's not normally funny though.
