My week of Monday 13 to Sunday 19 October 2014 must have been influenced by the photo I posted last week, because it did end up snowing in the Blue Mountains — but no closer than 8km from me.
So, in the interests of triggering pleasant spring conditions for the week ahead, I’ve kicked off with another pleasant photo from my archives.
Articles
- Dropbox password scam shows up our sloppy infosec, ZDNet Australia, 14 October 2014.
- How ABC 702 Sydney failed the Blue Mountains, and Twitter won this morning, Crikey, 15 October 2014.
I’ve also written a second piece for ZDNet Australia, but it won’t appear until Monday.
Media Appearances
- On Wednesday, I moderated an event for Electronic Frontiers Australia and the Australian Privacy Foundation, “Data Retention: the European Experience”, which was a public conversation with Privacy International’s legal director Carly Nyst. A full audio recording will appear on Monday as an episode of the Corrupted Nerds: Conversations podcast.
- On Friday, I spoke about voiceprints and biometric ID on 1395 FIVEaa.
Corporate Largesse
None.
The Week Ahead
It’ll be a busy one. While I haven’t mapped out exactly what will happen each day — I can’t do so until a certain tardy clients pays me and I can lock in certain commitments — there’s plenty of media objects to make.
A new ZDNet Australia column and a new Corrupted Nerds podcast will appear on Monday, as I said. After that, I’ve got two ZDNet Australia pieces to write, and an episode of The 9pm Edict to produce. I also want to resurrect the 5at5 newsletter, but that has a lower priority.
The weekend is unplanned.
