Cyberspace Samurai’s Art of Hacking

Duane LaFlotte, the guy you want on YOUR side when it comes to hacking servers, has a great article on DevSource. In it he walks you through the devious mind of a hacker. The article required the following legal disclaimer “LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Please do not go hacking sites because “Duane told me to do it.” I said, just look at the site, don’t hack the site.”

If you ever get a chance to see Duane and Patrick Hynds (both of Critical Sites which specializes in defending your networks) do their hacking presentation together, you really ought to try to see it. I’ll have to find out where the next performance is.

Eight Great Lessons from Working Dads

One of the most memorable things about this year’s Women in I.T. luncheon at TechEd, was Scott Bellware, who attended, telling me afterward that he was surprised to learn how much women talk with each other about work life balance. He thinks that men of course think and worry about this all of the time, but it is not something men generally discuss among themselves. (“How ’bout those Mets, huh?”)

So seeing this article “Eight Great Lessons from Working Dads” on MSN’s CareerBuilder.com about men and work/life balance definitely caught my eye.

BlogHer conference Santa Clara, CA July 30

If this was near me (NYC or Boston) I would definitely make the effort to attend the one day BlogHer Conference. Even though I am not very political, I am very interested in the voices of women in the blogging world – especially technical women. How we represent ourselves? Do we just be a techie or can we women techies? Do we blend in or show our ti**ies (tee hee). (shut up, Sahil – I’m just making a point). And how does what we do today affect young women coming into the world of tech (and blogging). But it’s in California – all the way across the country. No can do. Bummer.
