Weekly update 6

I'm home! Ideally, I'd be home recovering from travel but it hasn't quite worked out that way, particularly with the Red Cross Blood Service having a massive data leak. I blogged abut that in some detail yesterday, but I wanted to talk about it in this week's update video and give some more context as to what went on and why I made some of the decisions I did. Plus, there's the mega-trip wrap up, a quick preview of some upcoming stuff on my Ubiquiti network setup and my thoughts on how the web i...

Weekly update 5 (A380 edition)

I'm on a plane! More importantly though, I'm on a plane home. I've had a massive few weeks and I'm now just hours away from getting home and seeing my family which makes me enormously happy. I thought I'd record this in-flight from London to Dubai for something different (although unsurprisingly, sound quality suffers) and I've just published it from the lounge here in the UAE (where my VPN is blocked...) I've still done a heap since the last update though, packing out the time with travel, an...

Weekly update 4 (Tower Bridge edition)

Another week in another faraway place. Since the last update in Edinburgh I've spent a couple of days in Glasgow, a couple of days in the middle of that in Speyside, a couple of days in Copenhagen then a few nights in London. That's put me a day behind when I would have liked to have published this post but hey, not bad all things considering I reckon, especially given the spot I found to records it: References 1. You might end up on a SAN cert with "unexpected" neighbours [https://www.tro...

Weekly update 3 (Edinburgh edition)

Given this thing seems to have some traction and people are enjoying them, I'm going to keep these weekly update videos going. As I mentioned last week though, I'm now travelling so that makes this one a little bit different. I was in Edinburgh yesterday when I recorded this (I'm now in Glasgow), and I actually reckon it turned out kinda neat. Bit shorter (it's not as easy doing this standing around in the wind and the crowds), but hopefully still enjoyable: References 1. Why I particularly l...

Weekly update 2

So much to my surprise (honestly, I really didn't expect it), the weekly update I did last week [https://www.troyhunt.com/weekly-update-1/] was actually quite popular. People seem to like the short, casual form and it sounds like they're happy either sitting down and watching it or just listening to it in the background. Actually, the most common piece of feedback I received was that they wanted it in podcast form as well so I'm working on getting that out too. I'll be travelling in Europe for...

Something new: Weekly update 1

I've had this idea in mind for a while to start capturing some video on a weekly basis about things that are topical and interesting but that I'm probably just not going to get around to blogging into detail. Writing is massively time consuming plus I reckon there's a bit more candour that comes across in video. As I say in the intro, see if you like it. If it's good, let me know. If it's not, well, you probably should also let me know or at least tell me how to improve it. I'm about to head ba...
