FedEx is fairly quick... Except right now because I am impatiently waiting for my new chair from Secret Labs to get delivered.

Been refreshing since I got the alert it was out for delivery.

Man, been a little bit since I have posted on here. Works been weird but in a good way (new director, new CIO, old VP left, old director got shit canned and a lot of changes being made). Possibly working towards a major promotion myself seeing as how it will be for a job I already do.

Also, finally bit the bullet and bought a new chair to replace my current 3-ish year old office chair that was becoming hell on my back. Ended up ordering a SecretLab TITAN 2022 XL, black SoftWeave fabric covered. Spendy, but was advised by a co-worker that I trust that he loves it and it will fit more what I need than most other chairs.B

So got an introductory one on one meeting with our new director tomorrow. On Friday our current VP leaves the company so it's going to be an interesting week especially to see how things are going to re-arrange themselves.

New Director seems like a good guy, going to try and get a feel on where he wants our team to go direction wise so that I can plan what I want to study/learn this year. Also going to recommend building out an IR team as I am not sure if our current security team has one (as the "SOC" team seems to push all IR currently to IT as it is at least for internal things) so should be interesting.

At least it's a short week.

Elon Musk reinstating Andrew Tate only for Andrew Tate to dox himself and tip off the police to his location while trying to get into a pissing match with Greta Thunberg is such an amazing story arc. 😭

A truly good thing @[email protected] accidentally did for humanity.

There doesn't appear to be a backoff on this. If you try to login on the bird site it DOS's itself and just keeps sending requests until it dies. 
This whole Lastpass issue is something I hope to GOD my mother in law doesn't catch wind of. Not because she will understand it but because I finally got her used to using 1Password and because the names both have "Pass" in them I will end up spending most of my holidays explaining how they are different and that yes, everything is ok still.
Pour one out for all of the security practitioners who are going to have to spend the holidays patiently explaining that using a password manager is still good, actually, to people who have glanced at a headline about the latest LastPass breach.

Yay! A step in the right direction.

So for those of us who are on the older/broken down side and might need/want a cane to help with stability and walking but absolutely hate the look of the general medical ones I may have found a decent albeit spendy solution.

I asked my wife to get me a cane for Christmas, I showed her the ones I was looking at and she picked this semi-customized one out for me. It's solid Oak with a Cherry finish, handmade by a company in the Ukraine. Took about a month to get to me (arrived today, shipped out ~Nov. 11th).

Absolutely a wonderful cane, company is a family owned Ukrainian company and they do quality work. Will have to use it a while to give a long term review but so far it's pretty great.
