It’s been a while since my last post and while I haven’t written much I’m still here. I recently got a new job and so have been dedicating a lot of time and mental focus to that so haven’t been as focused on research and development after hours, but I have a few drafts that I’m working on so keep your eyes peeled for those.

Well, it was all a bit shit hey? At the start of the year I don’t recall exactly what my plans were but I can tell you right now, for most part it didn’t involve not being able to travel, or being confined to my house for 23 hours a day, but we persevered and needless to say the outcome was good.

20, November 2020 was the day I last day I used Netlify to build errbufferoverfl.me. But don’t be fooled! This time it wasn’t by choice. The Hugo site that I had finally settled on suddenly failed to build, even if I went back as far as a month to the last successful build.
Part 2: Why does Culture Hacking Matter?
- Oct 19, 2020
- Culture
Failure in this system is like a cliff in the dark, a precipice at night that we can’t see until it is too late and we are about to tumble over it. We’re afraid of it, waiting for us out there in the darkness, and all we know is that we never want to get too close in our wanderings.

Now what? Humans dating robots is sick. You people wonder why I’m still single? It’s ‘cause all the fine robot sisters are dating humans! Bender, being God isn’t easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you, and if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch. Like a safecracker, or a pickpocket.

Throughout 2018, I presented a conference talk entitled “Agloe: What the map makers-of the 1930s can teach us about protecting data in 2018” where we looked back to the 1930’s to see what the General Drafting Company could teach us about securing data and breach notification in the modern day. In the talk I discussed how using free and open-source solutions, defensive thinking and a bit of creativity, we can easily identify network breaches, and catch the bad guys in the act.
