There are many crises hitting the UK at the moment, one you may not realise the full impact of is homelessness. We’ve just gone through some of the coldest weather the UK has seen, in some parts, for over 20 years. It was -8c in London on Tuesday of last week as the snow started […]
Two of our users sent out emails that looked like the below this week. The subject was “Dropbox Important” The e-mails came from trusted e-mail accounts within the organization, and a few more people opened the email. Once they opened the e-mail, they went ahead and opened the attachment, finding a “Dropbox Business” logon screen […]
As part of the work putting all the pieces of Kodi Kontroller together i’ve finally got Slack talking to Kodi. Back in January last year a user called DavidA posted a PHP script to the Kodi Forums that used Slack slash-commands as a bridge between Kodi & Slack. At this point we had one dashboards […]
I finally have my Kodi Repo running under GitHub, I gave it some much needed love just before Christmas initially planning to just make my old work available again but I ended up writing some new stuff. I’ve added addons for DEF CON, Black Hat and am now working on a fork of Lanik’s Banners […]
We’re having cooling issues in our Comms Room at work – contraptions of temporary a/c units have been put together, but it makes me nervous. As a kid I worked hiring out air con units and know their limits, they can get you out of trouble quickly but they also give a false sense of […]

In almost a year a lot has happened, and not much has happened at the same time. Annoyingly i've hit a hold-up in getting better screens on the wall, i've been given more budget to get it rolled out across all offices but our facilities team are swamped. It's meant i've been devising plans for […]
So far, so good! My first tile took a week to light up once I really started working on them, but only the top row of the tile would light up, i suspect it was dead, or i had a loose connection somewhere. Luckily i had a second tile with me, switched over the cabling […]
