You might have noticed we’ve been a bit slow with updates over the past couple of weeks as we’re dealing with a bit of a backlog. With the kids on holiday from school it’s harder to keep up not to mention our travel plans for the summer. As such we’re officially in summer vacation until September. During this time we won’t update the blog as that takes a bit too much. We will probably have Friday releases if warranted but this depends on ..

Jordan Carter surprised me with this one. Everyone defaults to CrossFit, running, or cycling these days, so seeing him write about powerlifting in a positive light, with helpful advice for those getting started, caught me off-guard. Check his post out, then get to the gym. Permalink.

I read a rundown of a cyber security threat hunting model the other day. Right at the start, the author’s definition of “hunting” jumped out at me. It jumped out at me because he defined it well — which reminded me of all the times I have seen others fail at this — and prompted this post. Permalink.
