Security Ripcord - One Year Today!
WOW! Has it been a year?
I noticed that Mike Rothman just had his one year anniversary on March 14th (Congrats, BTW) and that got me thinking. I looked back and sure enough my first post was written on March 21st, 2006.
This post will be 122 and there have been 9 podcasts. I guess I am not completely consistent but then again sometimes I just don’t have anything to say. In the security blogging world I know that might be a rare thing but I can live with it.
I would like to thank everybody who has continued to read my musings, technical tips, and cries for help. I hope that I have added a little spice and education to your lives. I would also like to thank everybody who has powered through my podcasts. Hopefully those are getting better and you will continue.
I am not about to review the year nor am I going to predict the future. I am going to continue on and I hope that you find value enough to stick with me.
As to the security blogging community out there. Keep up the good work. There are a lot of people to educate out there and whether or not we are ruffling their feathers or just ruffling our own it does not matter. The word is getting out. You have all inspired me in some form or fashion. Calling you all by name would mean I missed somebody, so I won’t do it. Besides, who needs another list?
Go forth and do good things,
Cutaway

re: consistency and not always having something to say
not only is it rare in the security blogger community, it’s rare in blogging in general… long ago someone came up with a silly rule that said bloggers had to post at least once a day…
that said increasingly people are realizing that that is nonsense (imagine if there were a word quota in the physical space where you had to say at least one word every 10 minutes - it would be absurd) so don’t worry about not always having something to say… as long as one keeps posting good content other people will keep reading it… the alternative is to give into the pressure to post even when you have nothing to say and wind up producing filler…

Congrats, my friend!
And that anti-spam math problem was too hard…

[...] And BTW, since Cutaway and Rothman are talking about their blog birthdays, I think I will follow along. [...]
