Every now and then I get sent out on incident response engagements.  On Wednesday the phone rang; a client had contacted us with a big ongoing incident and needed some help.  I was on the next plane out (red-eye - I hate those things!).
While onsite with the client we went to a users desktop [...]

Really, not much going on right now other than work!
After getting half unpacked there was a UWH class in DC that I had to go and deliver.  Never been to DC before, so that was going to be good even though I didn’t like leaving the new apartment half full with boxes.  Class was an [...]

Movers turned up at 8am with, as usual, a giant truck.  I’m always impressed (even [...]

Haven’t had a "proper" vacation ins some time (Sept 06 when the wife and I went to Hawaii for a week was probably the last time I traveled anywhere without it having something to do with work!), and new year was approaching.  The period between xmas and new year, as well as the following week, [...]
