Delighted and excited to announce that on the 15th of March I will be up in Lancaster to speak at LUHack's Hackademia 2025 event at Lancaster University. It's a talk that I think has been needed for a long time in the cyber security industry, "Stop Buying New Sh!t". #SiliconSnakeOil #MoneyPits

Saw the crows on the walk around the lake today and said hello, then a heron spotted waiting to annoy the anglers.

Secret (sort of) project finished just in time for Christmas.

My new toy making espressos available at the touch of a button may have been a mistake.

So far I've only built this for AI, but might add quantum, blockchain, web x.0, and so on. Any other suggestions?

This is your official permission to go and build things and make them happen not because they'll make you a billionaire, but because they make you smile. Unrelated, meet my new haiku-writing professional networking badge.

Unjustifiable pleased with myself after unearthing the Badgers during unpacking and making a thing.

Book signing today, and thinking I should have brought more along! Running a little low.

Lessons in technical debt from moving house. Sometimes the best thing to do is clear it all to the ground and start over. Especially when it's turned invasive and started spreading.

Inspired by today's experiences, thinking of putting out a new advert. Currently in draft but feedback welcome.

Food therapy. Spent a couple of hours chopping veg and herbs to make a ratatouille to go with the hunter's chicken tonight. Everything feels a bit more manageable now.

Boreception! Time for a new photo?

Rewriting and updating one of my favourite speeches to give, from my 'demotivational' collection. I think the first three slides give a good sense of the talk, without spoiling anything. If anyone wants to book it, then get in touch. 😉 #foolishconsistency #demotivationalspeech

An animated gif showing three slides. The first says 'The Importance of being Wrong'. The second says 'Thought this was going to be motivational?' with an image of a person holding a sceptre triumphantly above their head. The third says 'Congratulations, you're wrong' with the same figure looking down at a smashed sceptre on the floor.

First time speaking as an author (as in, about the book) and doing a proper book signing. Bit exciting!

Raided the archives. Found the original company logo on some mysterious artifacts.

This is your sporadic reminder that if you aren't doing scenario testing for DR, BC, IR, and crisis management (not exhaustive list), you should be. And if you're not sure how to do it really, really well, you can get in touch any time.

Today's upcoming talk. Been looking forward to this one.

This'll be worth a watch tonight. I hear they've got a great guest on.

Really enjoying my impromptu trip to China.

Things happened. I was really pleased and somewhat shocked.

Next year I'm going for a Spartan Trifecta (three obstacle course races of different lengths, from 5-21km). Got someone else from the security community already up for it, so if anyone else wants to join the team name is HTTP 418.

The security blanket continues to grow. And for anyone asking why some are upside down, it's because no one likes a perfectionist.
