Kansas City: Fridays might be a little odd for a while...

I don't know about Asmo, but I can't make the Friday Geek-Out at the Daily Dose this week. I've got another event to go to.

Also, the July 4th 2600 Meeting and geek-out might be sparse as well, as most (if not all) of the KC HiR Crew will be out of town blowing stuff up.

The Geek-Out is still on for July 27th. Otherwise, I suppose we'll see you at the August 2600 meeting, if you attend.

IT Security World 2008

It looks like I'm headed to IT Sec World this year. This is a convention with seminars for Health, financial and government IT workers.

The seminars appear to be a re-hash of things I'm always familiar with, but I figure I'll be using this as a network opportunity as well as a way to get my finger back on the pulse of financial services InfoSec.

Does anyone else plan on attending?

Weekend Blurbs

Sorry I haven't finished up my series on Web Filter Evasion yet. I had most of the articles pre-written except this last one and life's been kind of busy this week. I don't even know if I'll get around to Sysadmin Sunday the way this weekend looks.

Speaking of which, we could use more writers for security, electronics, or other geeky topics. You don't need to be in the KC area, but it would help. Feel free to drop us a line in the comments.

Tonight's The Friday Geek-Out at Daily Dose in Overland Park, KS. I'll probably be there around 11:00PM.

Darren published meetup details so maybe we'll see you there. If you're around KC and want to convoy or car pool, let us know in the comments. We'll probably roll out from KC around 3:00 tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon.

Pics will follow, I'm sure.

Shared Links

I'm not sure if I'm ready to go putting del.icio.us daily RSS feed splices in the HiR RSS Feed yet, but for the time being, we're taking interesting links that show up in our Google Reader feeds and sharing them via the navbar on the right under HiR Shared Links.  You can also add our shared items to your RSS reader.  We'll probably still write commentary on interesting newsworthy articles that we find, but this is a way for us to show you some of what's keeping us interested.

Thanks for reading!

Some new stuff

We're adding some new stuff!

First, we added a link to the HiR Blog RSS feed. This works well with Mozilla Thunderbird's news reader, Firefox live bookmarks, Google Reader or any other RSS Reader that supports ATOM XML feeds. This way, you can stay up-to-date on new articles that we post.

Next, we went ahead and created an HiR community portal via Google Groups. Feel free to browse or join in. Discuss security and technology topics, suggest new articles, or talk to us about becoming a guest writer or regular HiR contributor.

We are going to be making subtle changes to the site's look and feel. Also, we're probably going to start cranking out some more content soon. Keep your eyes peeled and your RSS readers open!
