I don’t quite understand my week of Monday 10 to Sunday 16 April 2017. It also contained quite a bit of alcohol. Which has both good and bad points.
Most of the week’s achievements are not ready to be made public, or are personal matters that never will be, which so the list below look silly. I’m not sure that these Weekly Wrap posts even work any more.
Oh well, on with the show…
Articles
- Australia’s ambitious action plan for open government, ZDNet Australia, 12 April 2017. I did this as a straight news piece.
Podcasts
None.
Media Appearances
- On Wednesday, I explained why fingerprint readers aren’t as secure as you might think on ABC Adelaide. Once more, I may or may not post this audio. Stay tuned, or something.
Corporate Largesse
None, despite what I’d expected to happen.
The Week Ahead
Monday has been the public holiday for Easter Monday, so I’ve just been doing household things. And writing this.
On Tuesday, I’m working on the SEKRIT editorial project, and sorting out some clients’ loose ends, as well as the shopping and other errands in Katoomba.
Wednesday will see more work on the SEKRIT editorial project, plus some writing for ZDNet, before taking the train down to Sydney. At 1930 AEST I’m doing a spot on ABC Melbourne from the ABC’s Sydney studios. I’ll stay in Sydney overnight.
On Thursday morning I’m covering an event for the Australian Cyber Security Growth Network. I’ll write about that, and do some other things, before heading back up the hill.
Friday through Saturday don’t have anything assigned yet.
Further Ahead
Anzac Day is on 25 April, and this year that’s a Tuesday. As is the custom, the Monday beforehand is likely to become another day in a de facto four-day weekend. I might poke at some work, though.
I’m covering the AusCERT Information Security Conference on the Gold Coast from 23 to 26 May; the 5th International Conference on Cybercrime and Computer Forensics (ICCCF) on the Gold Coast from 16 to 18 July, or at least I hope; and the national conference of the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) in Sydney on 10 to 12 October.

I reckon that I can’t be the only person who finds your Weekly Wrap provides a focal point not unlike the breath in meditation; it’s appearance in the time lines triggers a gentle reminder to rein in one’s wandering mind and to also review the week ahead.
