Stephens’ Blog

Just before Christmas I decided to order a documentary I had heard about on one of the hak5 episode that I have finally managed to find time to watch, it turned up yesterday which I thought was a great delivery response around the Christmas period. I am actually managed to find time to watch it last night whilst I was doing some out of hours work.

The documentary is call hackers are people too and is available from this website. The documentary focus on hackers and asks for their view on how the media perceive them, how they perceive them selves  and how the culture has or has not change of the past decades.  I must say this does beat any of the films out about hacking and goes some way to bring a new way of looking at the mainstream of hackers, as yes there are bad hackers but that is a small percentage of the whole spectrum.

I would recommend everyone watch this, for no other reason is that the next time you hear the words “A hacker broke into … today” you may have a different view on what to think.

First off I would liek to wish everyone a happy new year.

As I do almost every year I am going to attempt to write on this blog more often. I shall also write up here  wider variety of subjects.

Over the course of Decemeber I spent most of my time preparing for the Christmas period that is now upon us and thankfully almost over. I am not saying I am not a fan of Christmas but I must say that I can’t be doing with the whole let rush around to see everybody. That being said as this year as well as last years Christmas was quite a quiet affair I did find myself relaxed over the period which is a new feeling for me.

I haven’t written much in regards to computer related topic up here as of late and part of the reason is because I am spend alot of time researching how to offer a cut down version of Microsoft Exhange in a hosted environment for work. Once I have the project put in place and actually start to configure the service I shall write something on the principle. The webbook I have which is the Compaq 2133 is still going strong and I am still using it when I just need to do something quickly.

I have also managed to catch up on watching a internet programme I dive in and out of which is hak5. this is a internet TV show geared towards technology and computing with so very cool ideas.

As soon as I have anything more interesting to say I shall put it up on this blog.
