I've been in and out of information security professionally, but somehow always have related projects. Mainly working with zeek and network level detection at the moment. SDR, cycling, and climbing enthusiast.

I boost a lot. Topics range far and wide from security and "the cybers" and may include politics, food, humor, science, law, nature, art, and other sundry unsavories. I occasionally post my own projects and thoughts.

@rose_alibi I'm getting desk jealousy, and I don't even desk these days.

CNN with some (good) questions...

"...
What actions did Kerr County officials take to warn residents about the potential “considerable” flood threat?

Why wasn’t there an organized evacuation effort there in the three hours or so between the dire flood warning from the National Weather Service and the time the river overflowed its banks?

Why did some nearby communities (such as Comfort in Kendall County) seem to act on the same weather information in a more serious way?

Did Camp Mystic have a flood emergency plan and weather emergency radios and were they used during the flooding?
...."

@NanoRaptor a buddy of mine was Carol Browner's (Clinton EPA) press secretary. For the Y2K event, every Cabinet department had members on-hand in the specially-designed Y2K bunker, which was later used for the Bush-Cheney transition team. Anyway, everyone at the bunker that night had to wear a color-coded Jerzees sweatshirt cardigan: red was fire/ems/hospitals, blue law enforcement, etc. The press secretaries and assorted hangers-on wore green. I'm guessing they all looked like Mr. Rogers

@fulelo I wonder if the paper towels he chucks into the crowd will be name brand this time.

@lluad @NanoRaptor Oh ha. I was thinking I didn't have any such cultural items, but my father worked at SLAC for decades, and they used to hand out "beam trees" as awards for things like 25 years service or whatever. These were rectangular and not cylinders though.

@sundogplanets Wow, amazed all that grass hasn't been neatly trimmed by the goats yet.

@ai6yr It's a part of the field that's not very securely fenced, so I can't let them in there unless I'm watching (which is part of the reason I did some writing out in the goat field this week. But there were also a lot of thunderstorms, so... I wasn't out there as much as I wanted!)
