The server is on Mountain Time (GMT-7) if I remember? I think we left it that way because we had things scheduled based on this zone.

As noted, you change this...

Well, I had a break out day, without starting Freeman, who had done nothing to that point. If only this had been my week 1 score....

The error log is impractical. You'd be reading the entire log every 5 mninutes, trying to sort through text entries.

From an audit/risk perspective, yes, they can read data in a diff file, as noted.

In terms of mitigating risk, you can use encryption, which isn't perfect, but nothing is. However...
