Looks like it happened again 🙂 only this time it was more like an invite than me deciding to move on from my current employer. Several weeks back (almost 2 months back), a friend of mine (who happened to be my old manager at Paragon about 6 – 7 years ago) pinged me to meet…

My visit to Belgium
This year I attended the Brucon conference (0x0f edition) which was held in Mechelen, Belgium.

Solar powered – ver 0.2 alpha
It’s been a few months since I deployed the solar system (aka the power plant as we call it) and it worked ok considering weather in the UK and the fact that it is a really small rig. Now I had another crazy idea (prepper style) and that is: why not try to mix it…

Last year we decided to grow some veg in the garden and chose to focus on tomatoes, onions and various herbs which for us turned out to be a massive success with respect to the taste of the veg not the quantity of veg we harvested. This year focus was on being smarter, starting earlier…
