It’s been almost a week since I have posted the last time. I don’t know if I have been very busy or it is just that I don’t feel very excited about doing it. I have to confess that I can’t understand people that come along, read all this stuff and don’t bother to leave a comment. It is so easy! Just click on the “comments” link below the post, write it on the appropriate box and confirm! There you go. You can even do this anonymously so feel free to write anything, from complaining about my boring posts to calling me names. But please, leave a message. :)

Since I have not been posting for some time, I have a lot of stuff to talk, but as I am the laziest guy on earth I will make it quick.

First is to post the picture of me, Rabi and Nikos in London at the (ISC)2 roundtable. It was a meeting from some of the top Information Security executives and we were invited to ask questions about the future of the profession. Not only a very insightful experience, but also a very good networking opportunity. I hope we can all benefit from it in the future.

The interesting thing was the identification of changes in the trends related to hiring Infosec professionals. We’ve come from experience based recruitment to qualification based recruitment. The professionals on the table concluded that today companies look more for CISSPs, CISAs, people who have formal education like MScs, etc, than people who have experience on certain types of products of projects. Good for me. Besides that they reached a lot of other conclusions. If you want to know more, the transcript of the session will be available at http://www.isc2.org/.

The other thing I wanted to talk about is the chicken stew I made. It may sound stupid, but to buy chicken stock and be able to stew the chicken legs was a very big step to me as a cook. As the appearance of the stew on the chicken stock advertisement is much better than mine, I can assure you that it tasted alright, and I didn’t have any health problems after eating that… :P

Last, but not at least, yesterday night was a BLOWOUT. We went to the union again and all I can remember is Jaime carrying a sand bag in the middle of Magna Rd. Whatever.. :)

Well, that’s it for today. See you guys around and please:
