play to people’s fantasies – law 32 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 27 March 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity

Law 32 The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and unpleasant. Never appeal to truth and reality unless you are prepared for the anger that comes from disenchantment. Life is so harsh and distressing that people who can manufacture romance or conjure up fantasy are like oases in the desert: Everyone flocks to…

integrisure – the business that never was

Posted on 24 March 201421 March 2014 By antipaucity

For a long time I have been interested in real, actual, legitimate security. I am not a fan of the widespread use of security theater in our “post-9/11 world”, as Bruce Schneier calls it.

control the options: get others to play with the cards you deal – law 31 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 13 March 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity

a smart[ish] dhcpd

Posted on 10 March 20147 March 2014 By antipaucity

After running into some wacky networking issues at a recent customer engagement, I had a brainstorm about a smart[ish] DHCPd server that could work in conjunction with DNS and static IP assignment to more intelligently fill subnet space. Here’s the scenario we had: Lab network space is fairly-heavily populated with static assigned addresses – in…
