OK, now I have a personal blog

March 23rd, 2007 Michael Farnum

Well, if Mark at securityBuddha can do it, so can I?  What am I talking about?  Well, I am going to make this blog a more pure infosec blog, and I am going to start a personal blog.  It will be called My Tangential Mind.  It will still be at infosecplace.com, but I am adding a subdomain for it.  Nothing is there but an intro post right now.  I will eventually put more work into it.  I am not hooping for it to be some great success.  I just wanted a place to put down personal and random thoughts.

Blucoat WAN optimization training today – and musing about SE product knowledge

March 23rd, 2007 Michael Farnum

 Going for Bluecoat WAN Op training today.  Kinda funny because I was out at a client’s yesterday working on a POC, and one of the network guys started asking me if I could help him with a Bluecoat WAN op problem he was having.  I told him he was a day early, since I had not played with it before.

That is one of those times where, in the past, I would have looked at it and pretended to know something simply because I work for a VAR that sells Bluecoat.  Now, I tell ‘em point blank I don’t know it.  Sometimes I can’t tell whether they think I suck or respect my honesty, but it is better than them finding out that I don’t know it after I pretended to know it.  SE’s can’t know everything!
