So the above image comes from this, (you should read) and so does this vedeoo.  Enjoy all that.

And then one more quick video for you pubg players out there.

Had the opportunity to attend the O’Reilly Velocity conference this week, it’s a conference centered around DevOps… it’s pretty seriously geeky. In the past this conference has served as inspiration to do some really interesting and innovative things in my professional life so I’ve really looked forward to attending this year. My experience this year has been very different than previous years in that my most valuable takeaways are less technical and more reflective/managerial.

• 10 years since the iphone was launched – was there really a time before smart phones?
• Everyone should provide a user manual of themselves to their boss and those that work for them because we all change roles so often it’s difficult to figure people out before they change again
• RFCs as a way to manage projects – it worked for DARPA in 1969 and it can work today for all members of teams to collaborate on a project

It’s a little terrifying to admit that reflection on technology history and strategies for interacting with people to accomplish projects are my take aways. Not sure if this is a reflection of getting older… I’m going to assume it’s just because I know everything tech :-)

If you guys haven’t seen the gaming videos moose has been posting, you should take a gander and watch the last 45 seconds of all the PlayerUnknown’s Battleground clips, it’s hilarious to watch him die.

I took my team to the Red Sky 2017 Security conference today.  Its local, fairly inexpensive, and gave my team some insight into what a disaster the current state of security really is.  You can do a lot, but a motivated individual will almost always find a way.  So the conference, decent swag, kinda limited, spose it was only a one day conference.  Continental breakfast, box lunch, free but limited sodas, and drinks (non-alcoholic of course).  Mitnick was entertaining, and most of the speakers in the separate talks were pretty good.  A few were a little dry, it may have just been a bit too warm.  My S4 camera is shit, so the pictures are mediocre at best, almost not better than nothing. They forgot to provide power (probably on purpose) but did provide tables, and wifi, including the required “this is a security conference, these are trained individuals, use the wifi at your own risk, we provide no security” (reminded me of defcon) but seemed like a cop-out to me.  I think I’ll go prepared next year to catch some packets and see if I can’t at least map the topology.

If I had a New Years resolution, it would have been to post to keeg.org more often.  Since I managed to post like 3 times last year, I suppose I’m rockin that.  But I did plan on multiple times a week… I haven’t managed that.

I’m currently house hunting.  Not sure I ever thought I’d own a house.  Sure, I dreamt a bit about it, but I also dreamt a bit about having 72 virgins, and a million dollars per virgin, but I guess not all dreams come true.  Or maybe they do and I’ll finally have the opportunity to see if I can stack 72 virgins into a giant statue of Sifl using jizzed up dollars to hold them all together.  Some day soon.  Anyway, house hunting.  Here I thought my needs and wants in a house would be much simpler and ideally draw me to less expensive housing than the average house buyer.  This doesn’t seem to be the case.  I also find it amazing how different yet the same all houses are.  I was originally hoping for something a bit unquie, and perferably not in the heart of subur

What sort of record company holds up as their #1 cred a band that disbanded in 1997?

Even their merchandise banner on the home page is full of acid bath tee shirts… how long do intellectual property rights last? (TOO LONG)

Also, someone has a script running that auto creates accounts on sites like this… In the last 5 days I’ve deleted roughly 1000 new accounts.  Turning off “anyone can register” for now.  If you want an account, ping me and I’ll turn it back on for yous.

  

I miss blasting these guys.
