Earlier today I did some 'light' reading of the NZ Cyber Threat Report for 2021/22 and was stoked that it wasn't just all gibberish to my eyes and brain. Thanks to having been at #Kawaiicon and #Chcon this year, some of the jargon was familiar as were some of the examples. #ProfessionalDevelopment for the win.

A week ago I came back from #Chcon, my first non-Kawaiicon #infosec conference. So it was quite a bit of fun going through some of my photos from 10 #Kiwicon / #Kawaiicon events and realise for how long I've known some people already yet usually only see once a year. What a treat now to have had the opportunity for a second time this year. https://www.flickr.com/photos/4nitsirk/collections/72157637469446115

These flickr stats for the #Chcon photos rival the stats for #Kawaiicon albeit it was a much smaller audience. I'll not tax the flickr servers for a while until the next conference. 📷

Yes, I'm at the point of procrastination that I'm even looking at stats just so as not to write minutes and deal with emails (non-work related).

Twitter is a bit slow on the cross-posting side. So here for all those at @CHCon_nz@twitter.com who are not (yet) on the Fediverse: My day 2 photos are online for #chcon. There are also some from @nfFrenchie@twitter.com and another volunteer included. https://www.flickr.com/photos/4nitsirk/albums/72177720304049928

The remaining #Chcon photos are now also online at https://www.flickr.com/photos/4nitsirk/albums/72177720304049928

This concludes my #infosec reporting until the next conference (Kawaiicon 2023?) that I'll be able to attend. It's back to #portfolio #Mahara and random other things.

The Great #Chcon Tug-of-war of 2022. All teams did their best not to be dragged on the grass, and there was some great and unique technique on display.

Photos from Thursday and Friday of #Chcon are now online: https://www.flickr.com/photos/4nitsirk/albums/72177720304049928 Moooooar to come. @sarahyo @rhys @iokiwi @fr @jpdanner @joshbrodienz @kevinnz @karit et al.

What is a laptop without stickers? You could definitely spot some interesting and funny ones at #Chcon and also stock up on great punny ones for the odd square cm that might still be empty.

At least one #Chcon attendee was at a summer camp in the past as he's got the most efficient marshmallow roasting technique nailed to a tee and also melts chocolate at the same time. 😂

From today's #Chcon photo editing batch: It's all good to go for @sarahyo to talk in Hanmer Springs last Friday.

I'll keep the #Chcon photo captions fairly neutral for everyone to come up with their own fabulous options.

Setting up for #Chcon in the 5 Stags restaurant / retreat in Hanmer Springs.

Tug-of-war #Chcon style. Fun was had for sure.

First photo cull of #Chcon reduced it to 666 photos. I'm on number 66 in the editing process. Steady progress is being made.

Another one of my favourite pictures from #Chcon is this one of Nick Malcolm who got everyone who wasn't already excited about documentation totally behind it to take it from shelf ware to 'Oh Yeah!'.

Dramatic scenery on the hike to Mt. Isobel yesterday morning, one of the #Chcon activities. @fr is exploring further than others.

No idea why we said Goodbye in Hanmer Springs when I see so many #Chcon attendees at the Christchurch airport.

Bye, bye #Chcon end 5 Stags and Hanmer Springs. See you at #kawaiicon

Activities are built into the destination conference programme of #Chcon. This morning some of us went hiking. We all came back down and are now listening to day 2 talks.
