Where did that month go? Well actually I know exactly where it went since I started managing my time using the Franklin Covey system. Security work keeps me busy and in spare time I've been finishing off our CVE mapping. I had a mad moment one evening and got our 2000 mapping nearly complete, so only a handful of issues left until we've got a 100% mapping.
-
Got
interviewed for redhat.com
- I was initiated into the need to carry around more
paper
- had a few days of fun with Bryce and
other US folks. Looking in the US for magazines on how to
do interior US home design, although all I found was
imported magazines showing how to make your US home look
English. Grass, greener, etc.
- Went through far too many security points at airports
and found that it's really important to make sure your
laptop is charged when they want to inspect it
- spent some time with the Mitre CVE people
Did an interesting interview last week for Red Hat about
what I do and why I do it with some very American questions
like "Justify your existance". Anyway that should be on the
web site next week sometime and explains all about how I got
involved with Apache and why I think buying a house is like
coding software.
The cute Erricson phone works over here in the USA and for
the first time I've been able to hold working SMS
conversations with the UK - saves me a buck or two.
Replaced my outdated paper log book with my todo list and
notes with a system from Franklin Covey. Replaced it with
even more paper - but according to the seminar this system
will sort out my entire life and make me a better person.
Rest of my time has been dealing with various security
advisories for Red Hat and investigating new issues. I'm
off to see the Mitre CVE folks in a couple of days in
Boston.
Tip of the month: When travelling don't let your
batteries completely run out so when you are asked to turn
on your laptop at airport security there isn't even enough
power to light the 'your batteries are low' light.
