Workshop

Of course it's virtual because let's face it, nobody is going anywhere at the moment. Plenty of you aren't even going into an office any more let alone fronting up to a conference with hundreds or even thousands of people. That sucks for you because you end up both missing out on events and sooner or later, suffering from cabin fever (I've always found that difficult across many years of remote work). It also sucks for companies like NDC Conferences [https://ndcconferences.com/] whose entire liv...

It's the Hack Yourself First UK Tour! I've been tweeting a bit about this over recent times and had meant to write about it earlier, but I've been a little busy of late [https://www.troyhunt.com/project-svalbard-the-future-of-have-i-been-pwned/]. Last year, I asked good friend and fellow security person Scott Helme to help me out running my Hack Yourself First workshops [https://www.troyhunt.com/im-teaming-up-with-scott-helme-to-run-hack-yourself-first-workshops-in-europe/] . I was overwhelmed w...

This is probably the most self-explanatory blog post title I've ever written! But be that as it may, it deserves some explanation as to how I've arrived at this point and like many great ideas, it began over some beers... I've just arrived home to the Gold Coast in Australia which I frequently describe to people as "the sunny part of the sunny country". I'm literally sitting on a beach writing this blog post and frankly, I'd like to spend more time here. I spent 37% of 2017 away from home [http...

Almost 2 and a half years ago to the day, I left the corporate world [https://www.troyhunt.com/today-marks-two-important-milestones/]. It's funny looking back on it because on the one hand, 2 and a half years isn't that long but on the other hand, it was a lifetime ago; my life is totally different today and in entirely positive ways. When I got that independence, suddenly I had a world of opportunities to choose from. I could do anything I wanted - and it was awesome! More Pluralsight courses,...

These days, I find myself spending more and more time in Europe. Four trips last year and one already this year versus only a single trip to the US each year (which I'm still on). There just tends to be more demand for events and workshops and if I'm honest, I particularly like the place. I've got a lot of history there having lived in the UK and Netherlands before and I love spending time back there sitting the sun at historic locations with a decent coffee or sampling the local breweries. Fun...

If you follow my Twitters, you may have noticed I can be a bit, well, "despondent" about the climate in Europe. No, not the whole Brexit political climate situation, I mean more like this: > Crowds of people in Birmingham waiting for summer before they go outside: pic.twitter.com/7ImjmCt4Bf [https://t.co/7ImjmCt4Bf] — Troy Hunt (@troyhunt) June 16, 2016 [https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/743339389481189376] Yet I keep ending up back there so either it's my poor judgement or... I secretly en...

Round 2 of European travel for me this year has just wrapped up with talks in Brussels for Techorama (which incidentally, was sensational!) followed by a private event for a multinational information services company in Barcelona doing my usual Hack Yourself First workshop [https://www.troyhunt.com/workshops/]. But it's time for the next one already so it's back to Europe again and then after catching my breath at home for a couple of week, time for some US travel for the first time this year. L...
