A quick dip

Today has been great. There was Karate, wandering round town with April and getting a new camera toy.

Afterwards there was a trip to the pond with the new toy, got many great pictures. Quite a few more than I expected for a first time out with a new lens.

The best ones are now on Flickr and this one stands out as one of the best of the set. Managed to get some pictures that I’ve been trying to get for a while, but I did not have a large enough zoom.

Security training a liability?

Following seeing a link a a book called The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t on Cutaway’s blog (Security Ripcord) I just had to order it from the US.

Not really sure how I managed to find this blog post this evening given that it’s from January, anyway it’s a rant on security training being a liability. Given the views I’ve seen on training over the years I’m not surprised on that one.

Managed to get out today

This week has mostly been lost to being ill, ended up not really doing anything for the last two days of my holiday due to feeling shitty with this nose and throat bug; then I did not make it into work on Thursday or Friday.

Today we managed to make it out of the house for a quite a few hours, we visited Greyfriars Kirk with the camera and then had a wander to Transreal. Where April failed to find the book she wanted. Then there was iced tea, with a chapter on Easter island, looking at google maps the single air strip stretches from side of the island to the other.

However I did manage to get some reading about ITIL done this week, which was really interesting in a sad geeky manner. There was also an upgrade of my VM machine to Debian Etch, which means the idea of a wordpress blog may very well be getting closer.
