July has been a busy month, between holdays, personal and work +travel I've hardly had time to sit down and think, let alone write. I would like +to complain, but in truth I'm busy doing awesome stuff! Summer schedules fill up +quickly. With no more children returning to school this year, I have to wonder +if this is our new normal? + +_Eat right, sleep more, get some exercise._ + +Travel is bad for all three, I'm going to have to try a bit harder. Use that gym +membership, and I've got some kettle bells around here somewhere... + + +## Mission completed, prepare for re-entry + +Hands down, I had more fun at [DEFCON](https://defcon.org) than I've ever had at +any convention, ever. While I did manage to attend a few of the talks and +panels, I was really there for the Villages, the events and the spectacle. + +At one time or another I managed to walk through just about all of the villages. +I was in particular interested in the Red Team and AppSec villages, but both of +these were in a narrow and crowded part of the Flamingo and kind of hard to get +in to. I saw a couple of AppSec talks and scored a free t-shirt. + +A cat from [HackerBoxes](https://hackerboxes.com) was handing out free badge +kits, so I scored one and took it to the Soldering Skills village to put it +together. Somewhere I found the Corn Totem! PCB by @JamesDietle, which I'm +hoping to play with and have ready for next year. Found out about SOA's (shitty +add-ons) that apparently work pretty well with this one. I didn't get to do much +with my con badge beyond clicking badges as much as I could with fellow +attendees, though members of my team did read through the source code. I expect +we'll hack on these here and there through the winter. + +In a random moment I got to meet Bruce Schneier, shake his hand and help him +find the Crypto & Privacy Village. I seriously wish I'd asked for a photo. Later +I caught his talk on InfoSec in the Public Interest. Anywhere you look would be +hacker luminaries, it was kind of a trip. I sat in on a panel on Right to Repair +which included Tarah Wheeler (@Tarah), then later an EFF panel with @evacide. I +would have liked to see more talks in the AppSec village but for lack of time. + +As for the spectacle, that will have to be left to the imagination. We trolled +along the gorgeously filthy Fremont St. Experience; I was momentarily, +temporarily dislodged as I chatted with folks from EFnet under the throbbing +light of a homegrown music visualization. We danced for hours to Rabbit in the +Moon. + +## In the mountains, in the dirt + +Before Vegas I rode down to Montrose, Colorado for this year's Rocky Mountain +RAT Rally, which I'd attended once the year before. This is a very small +gathering of folks from the Denver area with whom I'm only somewhat acquanted. +Montrose is _hot_ this time of year, but is central to some of the best mountain +riding around, both on and off road. I rode solo, taking the long way down +through Park county and the San Luis Valley before heading back north over +Slumgullion Pass and on in to Montrose, all told about 430 miles. + +The first day of the rally we put together a group of six riders to head +off-road onto some fairly well-maintained gravel and more narrow dirt service +roads. This was a first for me, I'd just put 50/50 tires on my Triumph Tiger the +week before. We had a great time, doing about 50 miles before I decided to peel +off and blast canyons for the rest of the day. Riding off-road was fantastic, +and I learned to spend a lot of time standing on my pegs. For the next several +days my legs were on fire! Time to start doing more squats. + +## Now what? + +So, I'm home for a couple of weeks. Still more travel planned for the year, +including another great hacking con, the [Wild West Hackin' Fest](https://www.wildwesthackinfest.com), +for the third year running. In the meantime I'm trying to focus on home. The +bees need to be treated for mites and guided into the fall, there's stuff around +the house to be done. I'd like to volunteer with some local affair, perhaps +OWASP or DENHAC - something to keep the vibe going. + +More coming, ĝis la revido... diff --git a/content/evaluating-proxies.md b/content/evaluating-proxies.md index 26cabcb..1a30dc6 100644 --- a/content/evaluating-proxies.md +++ b/content/evaluating-proxies.md @@ -31,9 +31,9 @@ application to meet.
