Microsoft MVP Award, Year 8

Back in 2011, Microsoft gave me the rather awesome (IMHO) Most Valuable Professional Award [https://www.troyhunt.com/accidental-mvp/] for the first time. This is Microsoft's award for community leadership within a technology discipline which for me at the time, was developer security.

AusCERT and the Award for Information Security Excellence

I've been at the AusCERT conference [https://conference.auscert.org.au/] this week which has presented a rare opportunity to walk to a major event from my home rather than fly to the other side of the world. And what an awesome walk too, right on the turn into "winter", which means something quite different in this part of the world: > Off to #AusCERT2018 [https://twitter.com/hashtag/AusCERT2018?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw]!
