Apparently there's a rumour going around that I was actually born with my beard. Absolutely ridiculous. To disprove this slander, here is a photo of me at age 14, sans beard

An ABC producer asked if I could do a live deepfake of Julia Zemiro for... reasons. After a weekend of learning how to train a deepfake model, I recorded a segment for a pilot that eventually became Crime Night! You can see my short segment 18 mins into this episode: iview.abc.net.au/show/crime-n...

I didn't like the harsh direct light from the naked globe above my desk (and it reflected off my bald head on video calls). Couldn't find a light shade I liked, so I got a studio lantern diffuser and mounted it to the ceiling over the globe 💡🏮

And while we're on the topic of "things non-security people shouldn't worry about", VPNs are snake oil and don't increase your personal security. If anything, they may weaken it. About all they're good for is streaming region-locked content. Don't take security advice from snake oil salesmen

Henlo frens. I am back after a sabbatical. If you're at #CyberconMelb25, you can catch me talking about what we learned by analysing the results of 2,500 pentests at 14:50 in room 212 today melbourne2025.cyberconference.com.au/sessions/ses...

The improvement that some upgraded lighting makes to image quality is huge.
Pic 1: Overhead light. Head looks like a full moon, shadows all over face, no background separation.
Pic 2: Key light + fill light. Skintones look much more natural and healthy. Added a blue LED at the guitar just for fun

Today my team released a report which draws on a year of pentest data - 2,500 engagements for 800 customers. 26,000 individual findings. We analysed this data to look for the root causes of the most common high-risk issues, and compared issues across industries.

The Australian parliament has this too. We even have an odd name for these questions - "Dorothy Dixers" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy...

If "scandi-noir, except Irish" is something that sounds like it might be your thing, the series Crá is highly recommended. It can be watched anywhere in the world for free with subtitles and no ads on the @tg4.bsky.social app (and probably on BBC or something if you're a Brit)

I must have been good(ish) this year, Santa brought me this sick mouse mat. As well as looking cool, it's also super glidey. Will definitely make me at least 0.03% more efficient at computering

For anyone planning on singing The Fairytale of New York this Christmas (and why not, it's an S-tier Christmas song), my humble suggestion is that the word "braggart" fits in perfectly with the metre and tone of the song instead of one particular word you may feel uncomfortable with I'm 2024

There's going to be an adjustment period for getting used to Australian idioms. "On the nose" means something completely different here 😆

The finished workspace. The thing about Noctua fans is that their tan and brown colour scheme is horrendous and doesn't go with much... but on wood panelling, it just about works

This was said in jest, but it planted the seed in my mind. It's a 12 volt DC fan, so it would also mean I wouldn't have to pay an electrician. So I did it. It has the same airflow as a bathroom fan, but is completely silent 😎
