@MarquisO It was indeed a good presentation. I’ll be trying to generate a story out of it tomorrow. #RI is something that you know, or not.
Since I’ve been awake since something like 0400 I’ll now be minimally polite before collapsing. Here we go…
Wait. Are we putting @swearyanthony to death?
I’m surprised I didn’t know ANYONE at that SANS event. I’m not at all surprised that the #RI was abysmal.
@sh4nw @viveka Hah! That IS officially too weird now! She was randomly walking past as I left Central.
So I now know a few new ways to hack into a network. Bonus.
@sh4nw Orly? It is a VERY small world then!

OH: “[Boeing’s planned in-flight internet] was called ‘Connexxions’, with two x’s. The more x’s a thing has the more sophisticated it is.”
I love how the presenter is roaming the room with a bottle of James Squire in hand. This is REAL infosec, kiddies!
@seamus All noted, Sir. I’ll give you a buzz in the morning.
Nearly 70 people have arrived so far. One is a woman.

@maldamkar I’d be happy with arts funding being cut if the cuts were to that vast indulgent porkfest of major performing companies.
@dobes Good thinking, 99! I’ve been wondering what to put on my business card.
If the police find something difficult and time-consuming we should immediately discard all the laws.
Oh. I’m not actually a member of SANS or AISA but, you know, arrogant media prick.

@sexenheimer @mootpointer @caseyjohnellis All good points, I merely pass on how I’d feel about it. As I’ve said, YMMV.
angusware Watching Tony Abbott avoid using the word “boat” when describing John Gillard’s arrival in Aus was excellent. He opted for “transport”

@mootpointer As I said to @caseyjohnellis before, I think what you say is going to be unique to your relationship with that individual.
@mootpointer YMMV, obviously, but my warning stands and I still think it’s not the way to go about it.
@cheshireb Someone told you drinking carrot juice cures the black dog? No jury in the land would convict you for that murder!
@mootpointer Answering that sort of question as an opener just ain’t going to happen. I know people want to help but that’s not the way.
@GreenJ @firstdogonmoon They’re not generally interchangeable, you know.
@cheshireb @caseyjohnellis Actually, do this. Hand the apparently-depressed person a porcelain kitten and a hammer. “Here, have a go!”
@GreenJ @firstdogonmoon Hookers?
Actually, @caseyjohnellis, when the black dog bites, the LAST thing you want is “R U OK?”Likely reply: OF COURSE I’M NOT OK NOW FUCK OFF.
An alternative, @caseyjohnellis? A friend would already know what to ask. And they’d ask ‘cos they noticed, not ‘cos of a campaign.
To be clear, if anyone asks me “R U OK?” on Thursday, especially if written thus, I will punch them in the face. Great cause, dumb question.

“Patch Monday” podcast filed. Its title is “Good-guy hackers and other infosec anomalies”, and it’ll be online some time this afternoon.
@HarrisonPolites @technologyspec Orly? I thought the article was a bit shit, to be honest. YMMV, obviously. Thank you.

@erkpod I have plenty of bits recorded. I just lost 12 hours on Fri-Sat to other things. So this week’s will be a quick and dirty.
Why did I ever agree to do a podcast that had “Monday” IN THE TITLE?
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: You need to combine the power of a twibbon and a retweet with an online petition to get optimal effect. [Oh of course.]

Oh yeah, ‘cos rude people online will stop being rude ‘cos other people signed a petition. Oh FFS when are they building those canals?

@Idealaw It was social bonding, no more malicious than asking a new worker to get a can of striped paint or a pad of verbal agreement forms.
@Idealaw The “trolling = offence” equation forgets that trolling was originally a playful, or at least non-malicious, baiting of n00bs.
Here’s my “Patch Monday” podcast interview with @AppDotNet founder @daltonc. http://t.co/iVNtsQUx #adn
“Think @AppDotNet is just a Twitter clone? Then you’re missing the point,” wrote @mathewi. Indeed. http://t.co/2lsohfiK #adn
@SnarkyPlatypus Oh I know that about IFTTT. I hammered the “follow” button in @AppDotNet a little too quickly and got throttled, I suspect.
Hah! I’ve broken it! (OK, I know that’s what “alpha” means.)
@Idealaw Clearly anyone who says anything even the least bit offensive to anyone ever should be banned from the internet. Silly cow. Moo.

There’s something special about reading Federal Court decisions before 0600 on a Monday morning.

Wow I’m still rather pleased with my @smh op-ed on Optus TV Now. Shows what a good editor can do. Thanks @joelgibson. http://t.co/e7cxSjnI
I praised the original Federal Court decision allowing this “cloud VCR” http://t.co/e7cxSjnI but the Full Federal Court overturned that.
Alas, @miss_shiny, I’m doing an op-ed on the Optus TV Now case being denied a High Court appeal. http://t.co/tFitkBUk.

Refreshing my memory of the Optus TV Now case. Being reminded that AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou is a complete and utter arsehat.
OK, settling into the first piece of writing for the day. Thank all the gods, it should be straightforward enough.
Wow. It requires a remarkable piece of arsehattery to bring me disgruntlement so early in the day, but someone has achieved it. Applause.

@michaelneale I’ll investigate it, thank you. But for now I suppose I might as well have a coffee and start working through the tasks.
@michaelneale Oddly enough, I have been using melatonin for the last week to readjust after travel. It does little for me.
I do have a lot to do today, so perhaps this is useful. Or will be useful eventually. Sigh.
Apparently my brain would like be to be awake now. So I am awake.
