An Information Security Place

So, we officially have our first lost episode. I recorded episode 18 a while back with Michael Santarcangelo, but we had some crazy technical problems. When I tried to get everything edited together to make it work, I started having some major problems. Without getting into all the details, the recording was not salvageable. Sorry to Michael for this since I know he took his valuable time to record with me.

So know we have episode 19. I guess we could have just said this one was episode 18 and went on, but we are honest people over here at An Information Security Place Podcast. And as far as episode 19 goes, Jim and I have been balls-to-the-wall busy lately, and I have had a crazy schedule for over a month. Jim got a break in his schedule (probably more like forced a break) and coerced Kirk Greene to help him out in my place. And then Jim had some technical problems as well and ended up recording the last 15 minutes by himself (or Kirk pissed him off – not sure which). Yes, it has been a crazy time for us. But we are back, and hopefully we will get back on a regular schedule.

Now, here are the show notes for episode 19:

An Information Security Place Podcast Lucky Episode 13 is here!  Sorry for the delay between podcasts.  Jim and I usually try to maintain the every-2-weeks schedule, but since we had Accuvant’s annual meeting coming up, we decided to push it out so we could do it there (“there” was Sedona, AZ – a beautiful place).  This is the first time Jim and I have been in the same room recording the podcast, which was different (Jim kinda smells a bit).  We had fun with it.

In addition, I wanted to take advantage of having some vendors close by (we have a vendor fair every year) for some interviews.  I only got one, but it was a good one with Bluecoat.  Thanks to Greg Buchan and Thomas Lee for spending some time with me.

So without further ado, here are the show notes:
