Facebook Super-Amazing-Awesome-Fun Wall Blackmail
Dear friends and family,
Before I address the main point of this rant, let me say this…
…while I appreciate the invitations you send me, I’d rather not become a werewolf, zombie, pirate, vampire, food-thrower, garden-grower, dragon-tamer, people-seller, lover-rater, cancer-hater, fish-giver, etc…
AuckLUG wireless penetration and defence presentation a success
Thank you to all you Aucklanders who turned up for my humble presentation last night. I presented a few slides on the theory of wireless cracking, and then we jumped right into a practical demonstration.

Speak to the face
My wife and I differ on our Facebook philosophies. Maybe it’s one of those gender-specific things. Her rule is “don’t befriend me unless you really want to talk to me“. She’s a woman. She wants to connect. To relate. To be more than a status icon on somebody’s hundreds-of-friends list.

Professor Penguin: I could give a talk on…

Social Networking in plain english
I found this CommonCraft video on Simon’s blog. It explains, with the use of simple, paper-based pictures, how social networking works, and why it’s a good idea. They also have tutorials on RSS, and Wikis. [gv data="6a_KF7TYKVc"][/gv]
Funky Penguin Hotspot Pilot launched!
After 3 hours of sweating, crawling under desks, and fiddling, I’m typing this entry from the Mike’s Kitchen in Northgate, where the new Funky Penguin Hotspot is now up and running. (Credit card payments are not exactly working yet, but I can fix that on the back-end)
