Confirmed my friends in Bondi Junction are safe. What happened was and is utterly terrifying. For those who are not aware, five people were stabbed to death (and many in critical condition) at a popular shopping centre in Sydney and the attacker was killed. My thoughts with all those impacted.
I passed my ISO 27001 Lead Auditor Exam!
I am so close to paying off my student loans. Only 14k to go! For context, in 2022 it was 70k. With any luck, it will be paid in full by mid June.
Grand Canyon walk during Easter! There were so many stairs but it was a beautiful walk! Very much enjoyed it.
Keep your ISMS simple when starting out. Do not over promise in policies. Auditors will assess you based on the requirements within your policies and 27001. The ISO 27001 Lead Auditor training highlights this!
NIST CSF V2 is out!
Passed the ISO 27001 Lead Implementor exam! Next stop is the auditor qualification! #cybersecurity #iso27001 #cyber
Just watched Pluto. What a masterpiece! I hope the creators make more adaptations in that universe.
For me, this year is the year of doing hands on courses. Just did a course on basic home repair. March I’m hoping to do an introduction to woodworking & maybe upholstery course. I’m a third into a 10 week dressmaking course. Maybe something with clay later in the year! I wanted to use my hands!
Did a Home DIY course over the last two weeks and it was really good! For anyone in Sydney, I highly recommend the Bower for courses like this. I learned grouting, basic tool use, gyprock patching etc. We also made this which I shall use as a coaster.
“You are very important to someone, even if that is yourself.”
I loathe when people are like “you are too focused on salary”. No, I’m really not. I quite literally want enough that will allow me to own a home before I retire without moving cities. And enough to support one child should I choose. That’s all I want.
It has not been a good few weeks. Health issues within the family.

My birthday cake my friend baked me. Vasilopita!
Today was a good birthday
Okay so I was missing the h-entry from the Bluesky profile I think preventing replies from coming back via bridgy. Let’s try this again.
The insurance company did not know much about ADHD. My doctor had to fill out forms asking “When did symptoms first start?” “Birth” “When was the last time they experienced symptoms?” “Presently” “Ever been hospitalised due to ADHD?” “No”
I got income protection insurance. The only exclusion is if a claim results from… ADHD. The example given to me, as I expressed confusion, was if I broke my leg and the doctor said ADHD caused this then I could not claim. I honestly laughed.
Request that someone from Bluesky (and mastodon) reply to this so I can see if Bridgy is working!
Bridgy for Bluesky eh? Let’s see if this works.
For Bluesky I’m debating whether or not I make an account using my primary domain or keep my regular handle.
Oof. Over did it with the deadlifts yesterday. It is still good to be back to training though!
