Low code security

Posted on May 9, 2022May 8, 2022 by philjackman

Image thanks to revistadigitalsecurity The concepts of low code and no code have been around for some time. We were talking about them a lot when I was at Durham, which is now five years ago. That’s a long time in IT. In my regular catch ups with my friend Adam, it is a subject … Continue reading Low code security

Cyber security is culture

Posted on May 2, 2022April 30, 2022 by philjackman

Planning for #CyberFest 22 is well underway now. A call for speakers will go out in the next few days and we will have the programme buttoned down, more or less, by the end of May. We can then go to town to promote the events. I think we are up to fourteen now. In … Continue reading Cyber security is culture

A new hybrid

Posted on April 28, 2022April 28, 2022 by philjackman

As I was making my way to the station to go into town, a car passed me covered in graphics advertising the business. These things normally don’t catch my attention yet this time there was something about it. The company was called Hybrid Kickboxing and I was intrigued, so much so that I checked out … Continue reading A new hybrid

Cross Country

Posted on April 5, 2022April 5, 2022 by philjackman

Yesterday I talked about how good the first cyber security cluster leads meeting with UKC3 was. What I didn’t mention was how far it is to Cheltenham from where I live. The meeting was due to start at 10 and, as I didn’t fancy an overnight stay, I ended up on the first suitable train … Continue reading Cross Country

Not Henry James, please

Posted on March 29, 2022March 29, 2022 by philjackman

Please don’t let me read another book by Henry James. I have tried at least three now and just can’t get away with them. There is something about the way he writes that I find soporific. I try hard to remember the characters and understand the plot but find my mind wandering to other things. … Continue reading Not Henry James, please

Not the clocks again

Posted on March 28, 2022March 26, 2022 by philjackman

Admittedly I go to bed early but I normally get up between five and six in the morning. I like a quiet hour or so to pull myself together before the hurly burly of the day gets underway. This morning I got up between six and seven. This had nothing to do with going to … Continue reading Not the clocks again

Serial reader

Posted on March 15, 2022March 15, 2022 by philjackman

I’ve said before that for my last significant birthday my daughters got me membership of the Lit and Phil library in Newcastle, the largest independent UK library outside London. It’s such a great place to go and browse or sit and read among all the amazing books they have. If you are in town it … Continue reading Serial reader

The toilet’s not working

Posted on March 1, 2022March 1, 2022 by philjackman

These are the kinds of words you don’t want to hear, especially if you are like me and not good at plumbing. Water and I just don’t mix. This time though it wasn’t really my problem but rather a problem in one of my daughter’s flats. Being the caring father I was happy to try … Continue reading The toilet’s not working

Talking ethics again

Posted on February 8, 2022February 8, 2022 by philjackman

Last year I was asked to talk about business ethics to a group of students at Newcastle College. This was on the back of me being involved in the North East initiative on Business Ethics. I blogged about it back in May and must have done a reasonable job as I was asked back again.  … Continue reading Talking ethics again

Little voice

Posted on February 1, 2022February 1, 2022 by philjackman

Image thanks to DailyNLP I’ve been thinking a lot recently about that seemingly unstoppable voice inside my head. I gather everyone has one but please tell me if this is not so. I think of it both as a friend and foe. It has helped me solve many a problem throughout the years and my … Continue reading Little voice
