Muscle memory plus ADHD is a hell of a thing. I just sat down at my desk and double-tapped a KitKat to get it to show the time.

This is shaping up to be an awesome event. There are still tickets available but once theyre gone you've missed out. If you want to attend please grab a ticket.

The fact that there is apparently no physical shop anywhere near me that I can just walk into and buy some flux or any form of electrical component is incredibly frustrating.

Another great BSides in the bag, this time at #BSidesBournemouth.

Glorious weather, great talk, and amazing people (both familiar and un-).

Managed to place 3rd in the Bridewell Threat Intel Hunt team's CTF. Lot of fun had with that one.

Amazing effort for their first event! Can't wait for #2!

Bloody good effort for one hour, tbh.

A three-panel composite from the movie HACKERS, the coolest movie.

I've passed right through FOMO and straight into raw envy.

Enjoy #DEFCON, people! Maybe next year!

Fantastic time at @bsideschelt.bsky.social yesterday! Great talks, great villages, great people.

Picked up a signed copy of @joetidy.bsky.social's book, explored the villages, and had a blast at the afterparty.

Huge thanks to all, looking forward to next year!

It does seem like an excellent mix of building electronics with a fun payoff. I think it's inevitable I end up falling down the hole at least a little.

Every time I see a cool video of FPV drones, I hear that siren call of diving into a new fascination. But I know I'll just crash on the rocks of ADHD-fuelled hobby burnout after two months and a large negative bank balance.

Istanbul airport is an interesting one. See how many people with fresh cosmetic surgery you can spot on the outbound flight.

First time at @bsidesleeds.bsky.social yesterday and it was a good one!

Some great talks, interesting people (including the well-travelled @jaysonstreet.bsky.social), and the fascinating Car Hacking Village run by @mintynet.com.

Next up, Infosec Manchester and @bsideschelt.bsky.social.
