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.

I continue to be worried by the COVID-19 case numbers coming out of Victoria, but I don’t have anything new to say about that fear. Maybe in the next podcast. To cheer myself up a little I’ve used a photograph from a week ago.

The Week Ahead

Week 21 of the Quarantimes continue at Bunjaree Cottages at Wentworth Falls, along with attempts to write for ZDNet. However I will be visiting Sydney later in the week.

On Wednesday lunchtime I’ll be the guest on EFA Talks for Electronic Frontiers Australia, on yet another conversation about the Cyber Security Strategy. That’ll be on Zoom and free to watch.

I’ll record another episode of The 9pm Edict on Thursday or Saturday. I haven’t decided which yet. However I have finally got the domain the9pmedict.com online, although for the time being it just leads back to the existing pages on this site.

The 9pm Edict is supported by the generosity of its listeners. Please subscribe for special benefits or throw a few coins into the tip jar. Please consider.

On Friday I’ll drop in to the United States Studies Centre (USCC) discussion The role of US innovation in securing Australia’s economic future. With luck I’ll get a ZDNet story out of it.

Further Ahead

The following Wednesday lunchtime 19 August I’ll be the guest on EFA Talks for Electronic Frontiers Australia, on yet another conversation about the Cyber Security Strategy. That’ll be on Zoom and free to watch.

I’ve added a couple more things to the list!
