I've been spending a fair amount of time on the computer at the vinyl cutter the last few weeks. Three or four people have signed into their Google accounts and one was signed into their Facebook account -- and then walked away. Nefarious persons might have taken advantage of those opportunities to wreak havoc on the accounts. I signed them out each time, but it seems a reminder might be in order that logging out (and closing your Inkscape files and storing the rolls of vinyl you used) should be a part of cleaning up after yourself.

My bad. I was running late and dashed out. I too signed the person before me out of FB. Thanks for the reminder.

Please use incognito mode! It's not just for porn; it will protect your personal accounts on public computers by forgetting your session when the browser closes. Eventually I'll make some posters to advertise this.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for the membership, it might be time to bring out the wet noodle and start whipping us, to get us to be more excellent to the space.

What they should do is add Control-Shift-P to access incognito mode, in addition to Control-Shift-N. That way, you could tell someone it's Control-Shift-PorN. Now that's a t-shirt!

Specifically, one for Jose to wear in public.
