So it has been a while again since I have last posted but thats with good reason. I have had a couple of exams today, one of which I am sure I passed haha, I have been spending a lot more time at work and I have been spending some time on some projects which I am going to speak to you about now.

SHITcast

SHITcast stands for the Student Hacker Information Podcast and I co-host the podcast with a fellow student, Matthew Hughes. The show has become quiet well liked with students over in America and we had 50 downloads in less that 24 hours of the last release The podcast alhtough not very well though out before hand does take time out of the day but is something I am really happy doing, it is really fun.

I would like to give a shout to Duncan Alderson/@webantix who built the website found at http://www.shitcast.co.uk, so thank you very much.

Self Promotion

Even though I have a great and stable job over at RandomStorm it is always good to get your own name out there and that is why (hopefully) soon, again with the help of Duncan I will be releasing a new website that is an introduction about myself and links to all of my social networking and “information security stuff”. It is always great to plan for your future and this is something that is going to hopefully help me. As for self promotion please add me on your linkedin account at http://uk.linkedin.com/in/thomasmackenzie1991

Reading

Now I don’t want you all to think I am some machine, so I do take time out of my day to read, infact too much time. I recently read two books by Peter V. Brett called The Painted Man and The Desert Spear – both of which are amazing. I am currently starting Lord of The Rings as that is one book I have never had the chance of reading. I recently bought The Ambassadors Mission by my favourite author Trudi Canavan which I am saving for my holiday to Tenerife in June. I also have just bought a book that by boss has built an entire website around called Getting Things Done by David Allan. It is a book about productivity and such like, so I am excited to get my teeth stuck into this tonight
