Just went “oww” when bending down to do the laces on my sneaks up. Uh oh. Time to go back to 80s velcro strap sneaks.

Someone once said I should have a more “professional” pic on my LinkedIn profile. I asked them to define “professional” still waiting.

The majority of my Select Few (those who have passed clearance) friends are Arsenal fans and seeing as I don’t hold any allegiance to a team, for tonight, I am a Gooner. COYG.

Must finish research then I can have a treat. Must finish research then I can have a treat. Must finish research then I can have a treat. Hmmm.

I feel like Anthropic is going to launch a cert. Anthropic Certified something something.

There seem to be a few seats empty in the final session of this year’s snooker world championship final. Some people are missing some brilliant shots.

You can never stop at one with these.

Thinking of creating an AI agent that sits and waits and when I’m about to buy a new domain it says “oi bruv no!”

Everything is just held together with sticky backed plastic Blue Peter style. Let’s just admit it.

We've launched a new free Web Security Academy topic on exploiting AI-powered security scanners! Learn how to use indirect prompt injection to steal data, cause damage & trigger exploit chains! Dive in here: portswigger.net/web-security...

We’re deeply saddened to share that Thomas Fischer has passed away after a long battle with cancer. A Director of @BSidesLondon since 2013, Thomas helped shape our community into what it is today. Our thoughts are with his wife, family, & friends. He will be greatly missed.

Ah found out that Máire Brennan of Clannad died last week, RIP. I found Clannad via Enya. Trance fans will know her from Chicane’s Saltwater. I got this when it came out and it still stands the test of time: youtu.be/tqY3UIRee-o?...

Finally found 10 minutes to update the site and put up a list of our Saturday Speakers. www.steelcon.info/2026-speakers/ We are still waiting for a few more confirmation emails from speakers to finish off the line up. I'll get the workshops up soon.

Flippin eck, the AI grifternomics out there.

Fire cloud.

Clouds part. Spring pops. Sun peaks. Out come light mode sneaks.

Ah it’s snooker world championship time. Yes yes.

When I need to get a move on with things and it’s a busy day. This is the classic tune that’s on: youtu.be/yNB1hZcFP5Y?...

Birds in the blue sky.

I feel like there’s a comparison around older cars vs modern cars (over engineered, not built to last) and the current influx of companies shoehorning AI into everything vs beavering away, working with people, boring but brilliant companies. The boring will always triumph in the end.

Golden rule never cheat yourself, always treat yourself. Always rescue a cake / pastry.

I do love a bit of Muji. Especially their frosted pens.

Really don’t want to be watching the news but watching the news, not wanting to watch the news.

What were the skies like when you were young? We can be friends if you appreciate this tune. youtu.be/KNfjpmvbQG0?...

Who do I know that has a RUSI/Chatham House membership?

Not everything has to be a SaaS. You can have a simple service and be ok with it.

It’s funny because it’s true.

Quentyn is looking. Quentyn is good people, if you’re looking check out…

Peoplez, @steelcon.info CfP is open. Go submit, proper wicked conference, proper wicked people, proper wicked crew. What are you waiting for, they’re looking for you!

Social biases coded into algorithmic systems is exacerbated by humans’ willingness to defer to the system’s outputs even when they are contradicted by the evidence of their own eyes, because nodding along with the machine is the path of least resistance.

It's funny we are worried about "AI" security risks when the biggest risks are corporate slop and the AI crash that's about to come. Remember that when the AI crash occurs there will be opportunities if you can keep a cool head. The same thing happened in the 1st dot-com crash in April 2000

Daaamn that is nice, Kimera EVO38. youtu.be/aGu0Qfy6PCY?...

Sometimes, the terminal is more preferable to the human.

This is scary. Not the first time I’ve seen a cardigan and been like oh I like that.

Today’s the day, finally got around to publishing my red team course, with video, written and self spin up labs. lms.zsec.red
