  1. Ahh sorry JW - Didn't want it in my sig as non-trade can then see it and it was for you guys to have before I disappear from trade

    Will check my PMs now in case full, it might just be down to status flux (will go and reverse the polarity and see if it helps).

  2. It's OK, you'll still get engineer manuals...

     

    lol

     

    Where are you blogging these days?

     

    Not had time recent;y - But I have been doing a lot of similar writing up on Hacktivists and criminal gangs using online space to try and get rich....  Nothing changes in that the same principles in physical security apply online - path of least resistance still happens and common sense helps a lot.  I will be writing more again soon though.

    lol #palmface

    Thanks for all the kind words guys - Again though, don't think badly of anyone enforcing a rule - I am happy to be non-trade as I am by definition now ex and rules is rules (Excepting Matt ofc :D).

    I will be happy as long as I can still catch up with you guys from time to time and if you need to PM to ask a question instead of posting then that's fine by me.

     

     

     

    Happy for any of you to have those details as I know you are all pucker.

     

    As for the mortgage, of course I can help - Step into your nearest branch for a simple, personal and fair bit of advice :D

  3. Would be good to catch up again Adi - My number is still the same

     

    Don't let the role change cause any arguments guys, I said previously I am happy to be non-trade given the changeover :)

     

    I would still like to help answer any questions I can though based on previous experience so if there is a way to do that in an appropriate way then it would be good.

     

    Lifes too short (like norm) :D

  4. Hi Guys,

     

    Been a while and I miss the banter with you lads.

     

    Just thought i'd stop by and say the new role is going very well indeed - I'm now playing a key role in infosec with Santander and I am loving it.  I've been able to get very involved at the deep end pretty quickly and have been working with other companies as well so there is a lot of variety in the role.

     

    Working locally (Leicester) at London rates and with only very few trips to the capital.

     

    I still keep my toe in the industry and have been doing some work on electronic security still - specifically on the software / networking side and I still keep up with the news.  I miss the old trade but at the same time I would be lying if I didn't say that I have a new spring in my step and am getting paid now for what to me is a hobby I love.

     

    If you have any questions then fire away and if I can ever help in my new sphere (or the old) then please give me a shout.

  5. Those with Gold accreditation or seeking it should be putting pressure on the NSI to promote the value to the end users.

     

    I take on board Matts point about the value issue.  We can all either ignore it (note that this applies equally to SSAIB) or we can promote and educate and at the same time fine tune the process regarding tackling poor performance.

     

    We can throw the lot on the scrap pile but let's be honest, what model would you replace it with that is better suited?

  6. Oh yeah, much better in those days IMO lol

    Must admit I'm guessing most companies use the same seed code.

    Depends what the arc can support Aswell . - ours only supports certain scantronic rem reset seeds

     

    The ARC can do any seed - they may need to pay to implement though if they don't know how to do db inserts ;)

  7. It wouldn't have been hard to make this secure at all. Actually, I think it would be less effort just using something ready made.

     

    One of my many arguments for standardised protocols.  Why reinvent the wheel?  Especially when you make a round wheel square in the process.....

  8. I agree for driving, Birmingham much more suited. All London accommodation seems way over normal rates, and if there are a few of you for 4/5 nights I can see how that won't be a welcome addition. A hour on the tube wouldn't bother me, I love the tube and the dlr.

    I associate IFSEC and Birmingham together, not sure if it will feel like IFSEC in the big city. Agreed it will be the year aft it moves there when we see how many people visit that will indicate if it was such a good idea. Wonder what will be at the NEC in its place.

     

    Clarion Events will be putting an event on for installers at the NEC in May 2014
