Green Day played South African for the first time tonight. Listening to American Idiot brought back memories of all the lies about WMDs, “free speech zones”, and the craziness of the Bush jr era.

Looks like US national security threats can be let slip by just pandering to the president now. I’m sure that’ll be fine.

After reading the poor take from PG on his distaste for liberal prigs yesterday, my dreams had my mates and me wearing polka-dot socks and chanting “go polk go broke”, which is an arguably better takeaway from that essay.

In a synchronistic turn, today’s morning reflection was about not cringing at who you were but accepting it as part of the journey to who you are.

I spent some time with a university friend recently, who reminded me about some of the incredibly stupid stuff I used to regularly do, that I had completely forgotten about. While it was funny, I was kind of horrified. It’s weird how you can forgot who you were based on who you think you are.

As a semi-ex-WiFi hacker, one of the things I think the “you don’t need a VPN, public WiFi is fine” take misses - is that this is only partly true because the number of criminal hackers is lower than the number of public WiFi networks & you can’t scale an opportunistic attack over disparate layer 2 networks.

LinkedIN has games now. I played one - it was a bit fun. But you only get one board a day and it’s a naked attempt to up their daily average users. So I made my own. GUIs are the worst, but the algo to build the game board was pretty fun.
Happy to share the code. I’ll publish it when it’s done.

Today is my last day of work before a month of summer holidays[1] and I can’t wait. The last two years have been a wild ride at work but it all came together in the last half of this year and it feels great to end a year on a high.

Is it just me that struggles with greeting people at work? My preferred approach is to just shake everyone’s hand, or if the person is from a “no touching” culture a slight head bow with no difference across genders. But I regularly get puzzled looks or awkward expressions. What am I missing?

Of course it’s no surprise that the nexus remains our credit bureaus which continue to enjoy unnecessarily massive privacy exceptions in POPIA with un-opt-out’able automatic submissions of our financial activity.
