3 Reasons Why Privacy is a Hot Topic For Me This Week

April 25, 2007

Firstly we had to write a privacy policy for the upcoming SourceClear.com web site. I must be honest and say that until now I haven’t had much of an appetite for the topic. If you grow up in the UK with speeding cameras everywhere, city cameras on every corner and even cameras in the toilets [...]

Satellite Internet Content Removed

March 22, 2007

Why? My wife and others made some really good points last night and having slept on it I agree. I have a rapidly growing blog focused purely on quality information security and why risk that focus with nonsense about the art of blogging or terrible service from a service provider. People will find out about slow speeds [...]

A N Other Security Bloggers Network (Alpha)

March 20, 2007

Built for fun in 15 mins using Yahoo pipes here. This is a pure mix with no additional processing. Pipes looks like it maybe a bit buggy when you start using some of the features beyond pure mixing but I still think its very cool indeed.
You can take a feed and filter out things you don’t care for. I could [...]

Cheeky Info Sec Picture

March 14, 2007

 Karen Öqvist posted a cheeky info sec picture on her blog. There are rumors of photos of people at Black Hat last year wearing our Speedo invites to the Cabana drinks party; but I haven’t actually seen any.
 
PS I always wanted to print “Admits Two” on the invite but was out voted
