Ex - DoD Cyber Security/Compliance. Now I do Space. Mostly lurking.

Made the decision in November of 2024 to get out of the defense industry (where I’ve worked for 29 years), and get out of the US.

It’s been a long process, but right now, finally, I’m sitting in the airport bar with my kid waiting for a flight to London and a new start.

There have been a lot of times over the past 15 months that I’ve wondered if I’m making the right choice, and EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME something has happened to convince me that I’m doing the best thing for myself and my family. And waking up to the shit this morning is just the ultimate exclamation mark on the whole thing.

Not working today. Kind of want to log in from home to see how bad things are, but don’t want to turn on my laptop because it’s still presumably not crashing and I don’t want to break it
😢 Twitteriffic was what made the whole birdsite usable for the last few years.
It feels like “old space” has a blind spot, seeing “a successful mission used this tool” only as “a mission was successful because of this tool” and not considering the possibility that “a mission was successful in spite of this tool”
