Sharing thoughts and ideas on business, security and photographyTimeline of my tweets for #share4biz Share 2014 conference (updated with images)
Posted on June 21, 2014During this last week (Wednesday and Thursday) I had the pleasure of attending my first Share conference covering Microsoft’s Sharepoint platform (#share4biz). As always I like to cover the events I attend on Twitter – it helps me focus on the presentations and overcome those ADHD tendencies.
As with the #ITWebSec Security Summit I tried to capture my timeline of tweets from the event to package, archive and share what happened at the event. After that event I tried to journalise my tweets and explored a number of options. Twournal looked the most promising but never produced a valid PDF that could be opened. Tweetbook.in produced a plain PDF of the text of the tweets but with no images which is unfortunate as the content of a large number of the presentation slides was captured in the images.
For now, here is my #share4biz conference timeline courtesy of Tweetbook. If I can find a better way I will add that in. Suggestions welcomed if you know of one.

Update :
I am delighted to say that Twournal sent through a notification to say the e-book is ready and this time it produce a valid PDF file which is available below, with all of the pictures embedded. 110 pages of full colour tweets with supporting graphics, bringing to life the coverage of the event. Wonderful.

New Page : Things to do (and beers to try) in South Africa
Posted on June 30, 2011I have added a new page to the blog, Things to do (and beers to try).
From time to time (and not enough) I have posted about cool things to see and do, from riding Segway at Spier to driving the awesome Blokarts on the beach. So last night I added the page to start. Hopefully in time it acts as a useful resource to those looking for cool stuff to do, and as a reminder to me of the things I have done and wish to do. Got cool stuff to do, share it. Have a different view on something written, share that too.
Onto Beer
Over the years whenever I have been in the UK I have really enjoyed their beer. Not the bottled stuff available in the franchised bars, but the hand pumped “Real Ale” in the privately owned public house – Bitter beer. Thank’s to my mate Steve for the introduction.
The closest I have come to finding it in South Africa is “Kilkenny” available at most pubs that serve Guinness. It is a poor second cousin to some of the better English bitters but I still drink and enjoy it. I even had the privilege of drinking the “real” Kilkenny at a pub near the brewery in Ireland.
So now let us begin the quest to document “real” beer in South Africa. To visit, taste and enjoy as many of these local beers from the small guys as we can.
The page is always on the menu at the top of the page, so click through there, or here : Things to do (and beers to try)

ZaCon II Call For Papers
Posted on May 28, 2010Date : 9 October 2010.
Location : University of Joburg. Joburg.
Cost : The goal is to hit breakeven on the costs, so an entry fee (if charged) will be low.
Many other conferences exist to cater either to the strictly Academic or Professional individual. We want a simple community based forum that is completely free of corporate affiliation (or shilling).

We aim to fulfill these objectives:
* Provide a platform for publication of infosec research
* Showcase free locally-developed infosec tools
* Support the interaction of industry, academia and the interested public
* Encourage discussion on infosec / hackery / sec-related-geekery at large
* Build the ZA infosec community
