Missing out on SANS Orlando
I had a schedule conflict and I can’t make it to SANS Orlando this year. I wonder if I could be that close to Disney and still concentrate on the course. I rarely miss the SANS @night stuff. But it would be a hard struggle not to skip out to Epcot or Downtown for an […]
My GCPM Plaque has arrived
Over the summer I took the six day SANS 525 Project Management and Effective Communications for Security Professionals and this autumn I passed the very challenging certification exam. That made me a GIAC certified project manager, versed in the art and science of managing projects in accordance with the PMBOK. Today I got the hardware […]
iPhone day 2
I continue to wander around counting bars on my iPhone. Northfield has amazing coverage. I get full bars in places were my Verizon phone was completely dead zoned. I had edge coverage downtown and read and sent emails from the Subway over lunch. I’m hopeful that there will be 3G coverage soon. Edge was fine […]
iPhone mania day 1
So I’ve got my phone, it’s registered and working as a phone and I’ve transferred all my iPod Touch apps over. Now I’m obsessed with coverage, wandering around watching the number of bars where-ever I go. I’m not sure why I’m doing this, Verizon coverage in Vermont is not that great. I guess I’m hoping […]
Ads coming to quizzes and hand-outs?
A teacher in California sold the space at the bottom of exams to advertisers. I suppose I’m no better using Google Ads on my blog and posting materials for my courses. I have not had a student complain about ads on my blog, yet. I don’t know if I would sell the footer on my […]
When Teachers Make Me Mad
I ran into this today… http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2008/12/linux-stop-holding-our-kids-back.html Summary: Teacher sees student showing off Linux and handing out Live CDs. Teacher confiscates CDs and writes an angry letter because teacher is definitely a techno-bigot and probably a worthless tool. I understand that it is hard to set aside personal bias when teaching. I have worked for years […]
Christmas Themes
I’ve updated the main site and the forums with festive holiday color and graphics. I wonder if leaving snowmen graphics on your blog past MLK day is a kin to leaving your Christmas lights up all year?
GIAC Certified Project Manager
I made it! I passed the 4 hour GCPM exam with the second highest score on record!
Teaching networking in a dangerous world
Tonight was my introduction to text based protocols lab. I have the students use netcat to interact directly with web servers and e-mail MTAs to experience the give and take of layer seven. The dance of GETs and 200 OKs or the chatty email flow using HELO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, DATA, and QUIT. When […]
EA CEO says we don’t care about DRM
The CEO of EA doesn’t seem to take the public outcry against DRM seriously. That’s not really a good public relations strategy. I guess he’ll have to see EA sales slip further before he’ll consider acknowledging, the people posting one star reviews on Amazon. Here’s the article: 99.8% of gamers don’t care about drm
