Invading neighbours privacy

abstract-2339623_1920

Ann Cavoukian, prominent leader and intellect in the privacy space, recently said in a tweet that “your home is the last bastion of privacy”.

Whilst this is arguable considering the onslaught on “smart devices” in the home, her response was aimed at a House of Commons working paper titled “CCTV Surveillance by your neighbour”. The paper outlines the responsibilities of the home owner to use CCTV in their private lives carefully and ensuring they protect the privacy of their neighbours.

You can find the paper here: http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN01803/SN01803.pdf

CCTV cameras for the home are nowadays easy to get and install, there are now “smart” door bells with cameras and microphones too, so the obligation to use these to protect your property responsibility is important.

Nobody has the right to invade the sanctuary of another person whether this be their inner most being, their thoughts and ideas, or their home.

However this topic is not as new as we might think. In David Vincent’s excellent book Privacy: A short history he quotes one of the first reported court cases for invading the sanctuary of a neighbour: 

“On Friday 13 July 1341, it was recorded at the London Assize of Nuisance that ‘Isabel relict of John Luter complains that John Trappe, “skynnere”, who has a tenement adjoining her garden in the par[ish] of St. John de Walbrok, has four windows of which the glass is broken, through which he and his servants can see into her garden.’ The site was visited, and judgment given that the defendant should repair his windows within 40 days.” (http://amzn.eu/auWhYrE)

This problem will only increase as drones become more common for personal amusement and commercial use.

So think before you use cameras, CCTV systems, drones, “smart” devices etc about the benefits they can give you and your responsibilities to others who have not chosen to have their privacy invaded by these tools.

Outlook tip for Calendar Management

Image
When looking at your calendar you can change the view so you can see one day or multiple days / month. There are multiple ways to do this but most people just use the standard approach. There are two additional ways to do this which may be quicker or give additional views for example only see 2 days. Try these #productivity tips for yourself. Most people use the standard approach which is to use the buttons on the #Outlook ribbon bar for Day, Work Week, Week, Month and Schedule View. Did you know you can do this via the keyboard or by using your mouse. Using the Keyboard Press ALT key and then numbers from 1 through to 0. Each number represents the number of days to show at once. For example pressing ALT+3 will show 3 days. If you press ALT + 0 then it will show 10 days. This is very helpful when you want to look at today and tomorrow for example (ALT + 2). Using the Mouse If your mouse has a wheel button, and most do these days, then you can hold the CTRL key and use the wheel button ...

Editing emails... after sending them

Image
I was recently reading an article on Microsoft Outlook short cuts and tips which got me thinking about one of my Outlook productivity hacks that I have used for years and thought it might be useful for some of you too. Have you sometimes sent an email and immediately realised you forgot to add somebody to the distribution list or forgot an attachment? I have done this from time to time. By creating a new Outlook Rule to delay all emails I send out by one minute, I have the ability to quick go to the outbox folder in Outlook and open the email and make corrections. Saved me a few times including once when I clicked send and immediately realised I was sending to the wrong person. It is quiet easy to create this rule and to help I created this image with the steps listed. Hope this helps and any questions on the steps just shout.
