January 2009

~16 minutes left in January.

It’s amazing how fast the first month of a new year goes by.  Those older than me probably recognize this better, but it’s definitely becoming more noticible as I get older.  One minute you’re toasting some champagne with your friends and the next, well… you’re on the fast track to the next year. :)

In any event, this month was pretty interesting.  We started the new year off near Baltimore with friends, and then I went out to Vegas to cover CES with Hak5.  I got the plague while I was there, and unfortunately didn’t get to do any partying with all the awesome people I met out there.

After recovering from the plague and spending a couple of weekends just enjoying Richmond, I went back down to the HakHouse last night and recorded a segment on USB device tracking, which I owe a great deal of thanks to Harlan Carvey for both his book, and his help in my understanding of the windows registry. :)

February’s looking to be a very interesting month.  Shmoocon this coming Friday, and my birthday 6 days later.  Valentine’s Day, and then a pretty busy rest of the month.  Looking forward to seeing everyone at Shmoocon and hopefully seeing some new faces.

Peace
