Compared to the previous fortnight, Monday 23 to Sunday 29 April 2018 appears much less productive. No articles were published. No podcasts were recorded. No corporate largesse was taken advantage of.
And yet it was productive. I did a bunch of work on that Crikey project, the one they crowdfunded via a Pozible project called Crikey Digs. Wednesday was Anzac Day, so work was not required, though I did have a long beer-filled meeting with my colleague on that project, Ben Grubb. And I was lazy on Friday and Saturday because I was fighting off a cold. I think.
Anyway, here we go…
Media Appearances
- On Tuesday night I spoke about deep fakes on ABC Melbourne
- On Saturday I spoke about the data economy and related matters on London’s Love Sport Radio.
As I mentioned last time, I’ve fallen out of the habit of posting the audio from my radio spots. Would you like me to return to that habit? No one seems to care, I think.
Articles, Podcasts, Corporate Largesse
None.
The Week Ahead
The next few weeks continue to see me based in Ashfield, Sydney, working through the Crikey project, and writing for ZDNet much as usual. I’m hoping to get some walking in, however, and I might post some stuff about the places I visit, including photos. But not today.
Further Ahead
The next episode of The 9pm Edict, will be recorded and streamed live on Tuesday 8 Thursday 10 May at 2100 AEST.

- Cyber Leaders 2018, Sydney, 15 May.
- AusCERT Cyber Security Conference, Gold Coast, 30 May to 1 June.

I do like the audios, at least when they’re on topics I care about, which is about half the time. I don’t want you to feel obliged to add to your workload based on that though, so I’m happy to pretend that I really hate them and they suck and you suck and everyone sucks, if it will make you happy.
