My week of Monday 4 to Sunday 10 May 2026 finally saw the start of The 9pm Edict‘s mid-2026 series, although Another Untitled Music Podcast has yet to return. Soon, though. I’m also starting to notice the wildlife of Campsie and their patterns of activity.

My week of Monday 6 to Sunday 12 August 2018 looks strangely empty. I’m not sure why, because it felt quite busy. As this brief Weekly Wrap reveals.
Articles, Podcasts, Media Appearances, Corporate Largesse
None of any of these things appeared, which is odd. And yes, I must get those podcasts sorted.
The Week Ahead
Monday and Tuesday are Sydney days, with a medical appointment, writing for ZDNet, and some geekery for clients, before returning to Wentworth Falls on Tuesday evening.
The rest of the week is a mix of writing for ZDNet, looking at this dire podcast situation, and maybe some more geekery.
Further Ahead
I’ve pencilled in:
- Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit, Sydney, 21–21 August.
- CLOUDSEC Australia 2018, Sydney, 28 August.
- D61+ LIVE, Brisbane, 18–19 September. (TBC)
- Australian Cyber Conference, formerly the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) National Conference, Melbourne, 9–11 October.
- International Association of Privacy Professionals ANZ (iappANZ) Annual Summit, Privacy: Handling the Seismic Shift, Melbourne, 1 November. (TBC)
Update 1255 AEST: Edited to reflect schedule change.
