Those are virtually meaningless to me.
I use the tedious filter setup to sort my email into categories that are meaningful to me (doctor, work, events).
I am still irked by the recent changes in their Calendar which forces start- and end-time into items, thereby basically forcing everything to have a duration of more than hour if I want to be able to read my caption for the event.
A customer service rep on TP-Link's chat support this morning was completely unaware of the problem. After checking with the engineers, they said they will be working on it. Hmmm, the vulnerability has been known for about six months, and is only now being reported on news sites after presumably waiting to give vendors time to develop fixes. And TP-Link has done, well, nothing?
There's no word on the TP-Link.com website about the issue at all. The rep said that I would be contacted when the fix becomes available, but that is not a credible claim since the company has no information about customers. I'm disappointed, guys.
In the late 90's, there was a huge demand for web developers during the dot-com boom. After a long and successful career in finance and accounting, I built a huge Excel model that projected my company's financial statements out five years. Excel > VBA > VB6 > voila! This was way more fun than accounting. I got myself hired by a bespoke software development outfit in 1999 when I was 52, the only girl in a roomful of 20-something guys. I've pretty much been the only girl around since then -- the only one at work, the only one at the dev events & meetups. And always the oldest guy in the room.
Right now, I am finishing up a mobile- and tablet-friendly web app done up in ASP.Net MVC4 with jQuery Mobile for a global corporation. It's been a wonderful project. I "had" to buy an iPad to test my app, which rocks on my Droid. I'm hoping to be able to do more web-to-mobile apps.
This stuff is wonderful fun. I love making things. I love hitting F5 and magick happens. I compare my work to being a restaurant chef. I don't care that I am a faceless invisible worker back in the kitchen. I love imagining the client's delight when the plate is placed in front of them, my work, my product.

I just don't get this "hero" thing. I don't go to websites to see a gorgeous but meaningless photo. Slashdot is a conversation, not a photo scrapbook.
