Someone just left me a voicemail, I replied in an email, and they replied back in a Teams message. I'll roll with it....(looking for a carrier pigeon at the moment....) :)

Sigh....I just wrote a decently lengthy email reply only to realize immediately as I sent it that I had replied to a "no-reply" address. Can't believe I did that.... :)

In my group chat I remarked, "Sure is dark today." I then had to follow that up moments later clarifying that I was talking about the weather and not making a metaphor for the current state of information security.

The number of times I've already said, "Sorry, I can't do that -- first day of classes" or "Sorry, I can't meet -- first day of classes" today is unreal. :)

The hardest CTF I have ever faced, without question, was the one that made me choose whether a song was Genesis or Phil Collins' solo career.

Thankfully I had CPEs....I'm not sure I could handle taking the GIAC Certifications GREM a second time. That is a hard exam, especially as I do not have a CS background. But, it is also my most meaningful cert due to that. :) (And I use it nearly every day.)

Nothing messes up a public higher education winter break more than Christmas Eve and Christmas Day being on a Saturday and Sunday.

While I am unsure Twitter will vanish overnight, this does remind me of when CompuServe, GEnie, AOL, all shut down in the late 1990s. There is a genuine sadness here. Losing the capability to talk to people with whom we only enjoyed having conversations online -- forever. :(

Weird sometimes to see analysts at other organizations freaking out when they detect a cryptominer on their network. That's just a day in the life for us in higher education. :D (In fact, if we don't detect one, something is wrong with the network sensors.)
