Weekly Wrap 627: Cold, wet, windy, and little else

My week of Monday 30 May to Sunday 5 June 2022 was cold, wet, and windy. I also spent a lot of time sleeping. We know the cause of the bad weather. Thank you, La NiÃ±a. We don’t know the cause of my sleepiness, though I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.

Weekly Wrap 532: Many cyber, much podcast, and some proper winter weather

My week of Monday 3 to Sunday 9 August 2020 was podcast-heavy. I produced one of my own, and appeared on three others. I also went down the rabbit-hole of Australia’s new but somewhat disappointing Cyber Security Strategy.

Weekly Wrap 474: Cold War, warm winter, and pubs

The week of Monday 24 to Sunday 30 June 2019 ended the financial year. I took the opportunity to have a proper weekend off. I was also moderately productive.
