My week of Monday 5 to Sunday 11 October 2015 was a strange pause, a transition between weeks of pain and discomfort, and what appear to be some very busy weeks indeed.
I shall let the facts speak for themselves…
Podcasts
- “The 9pm We Are Above All That Stuff”, being The 9pm Edict episode 51, 11 October 2015. The first half-hour of this was actually recorded a week ago.
Articles
None, but research is under way for a ZDNet column to be published early on Monday.
Media Appearances
- On Friday, I spoke about Malcolm Turnbull’s private email on ABC 720 Perth.
5at5
There were no editions of 5at5 at all this week either, and that’s terrible. Why not subscribe so you’ll get all the future ones?
Corporate Largesse
- On Friday, I went to a briefing by Alcatel-Lucent over lunch at Gowings Bar and Grill.
- The travel and accommodation you’ll see listed for next week is being covered by Tanium.
The Week Ahead
The last few weeks have been rather unstructured. Not so the week ahead. It’s both busy and tightly scheduled.
On Monday, I’ll finish a column for ZDNet, deal with an errand to Penrith, conduct some audio equipment tests, and prepare myself for the rest of the week.
On Tuesday, I catch the 0636 train to Sydney, and then VA830 to Melbourne, sneaking in a quick work session at Meanjin in the afternoon, before a reception kicks off the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) National Conference. I’m covering that event for ZDNet, as well as recording material for my own Corrupted Nerds podcast, through until Thursday.
On Thursday evening, I’ll be wrapping up the Pozible campaign Send Stilgherrian To Ruxcon 2015, which closes at 2230 AEDT. As I write this, it stands at 34% funded.
On Friday, I’ll be writing for ZDNet before flying back to Sydney on VA879 that evening. Whether I continue through to the Blue Mountains, or stay in Sydney overnight, has yet to be decided.
Further Ahead
On Monday 19 October, I’m wrapping up another episode of The 9pm Edict, as well as appearing on Mark Pesce’s podcast TWISTA – This Week in Startups Australia. The middle part of the week has yet to be mapped out, but if things go to plan, on Friday I’ll be heading back to Melbourne for Ruxcon.
