This Blog Is Changing – Watch This Space

February 25, 2009

Posting has obviously been slow over the last few months. I keep meaning to post a long reflective article about why I have decided to make some big changes about what and why I blog but I just never seem to find the time. In short I have become rather bored making general security commentary; [...]

I am changing my blog subscriptions – Your help is needed

June 10, 2008

I am bored of the same old crap coming across my feed reader so I have decided to experiment; be ruthless and un-subscribe from anything that I don’t read (value) regularly and look for new fresh thinking and opinions. Sure the odd gem can be, well a “gem” and I may miss them but I [...]

The Long Tail of Information Security (Part 1)

August 4, 2007

 
I have just finished reading the Long Tail by Chris Anderson (editor of Wired). It is brilliant and the best book I have read in several years. Its in the same class as Freakonomics and The Tipping Point.  I highly recommend anyone who reads my blog reads the Long Tail if they haven’t already done [...]

Closing My Loop on the SBN and Blogonomics

March 20, 2007

I have just logged in to some “interesting”  commentary on why I decided to leave the Security Bloggers Network.  This from Alan Shimmel and this from Michael Farnum.
Of course I am not the first to get the sharp tongue (see the last sentence) of the host of the SBN Alan Shimel, or the first to reply (Amrits blog is [...]

Blogonomics #8

March 15, 2007

People love gossip. On Tuesday I published some security gossip and it was the biggest post to date on this blog (and appears to have a “long tail”).
So it look likes people like gossip and if you post it you get more than your usual viewing rates: which is different from saying gossip is [...]

The Dirty Dozen I am Watching (and Why)

March 13, 2007

I am always following whats happening in a few security companies for one reason or not. These are a dirty dozen on my watchlist (I have over 40 in total) and the terse gossip I have accumulated on them. I know its woefully out of date which is a conscious reason I post this; hoping kind [...]

Blogonomics #6

February 22, 2007

Pete, are you listening? Pingback, if you want to be my guinea pig (OMG I don’t believe I just linked to that picture). I want to try out a live Blogonomics experiment. Can you whip up a spiffy “About Me” page for your blog and monitor your metrics?
So rule # 6 is this. I think making sure [...]

Blogonomics #5

Join a network like the Securty Bloggers Network.  As a member you feel like your part of a discussion group as well as having your own blog. Collective thoughts as I nod at Pete Lindstroms latest?
After posting this I realized that Pete needs to get a life (this is his About Me page!). I think [...]
