Here's the MDASH demo from the #MSBuild keynote this week! Bucket list item for me to work on and demo in a MSFT keynote ✅ www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QBD...

I have to say that trying to write a talk about the current state of security is damn tricky with the amount / speed of things happening these past few weeks!

I do collect and post these every year, but I very much resonate with the 2026 edition.

Well, it's been a hot minute since I've been overseas (4 whole months!) but I'm on my way to New Zealand for @kawaiicon.bsky.social next week and then onwards to Switzerland for @ExpertsliveCH ! Come say hi! I have stickers and Tim Tams. #ExpertsLiveCH

What I'm finding very comforting about the PHPocalypse is that a lot of places proactively took down their websites to fix this rather than waiting for bad things to happen. I don't think this happened on such a wide scale before...?

Very excited to be back in Switzerland in a few weeks' time with some other amazing speakers! Experts Live is always such a great conference, I'm excited to attend the Swiss edition! #ExpertsLiveCH

Studying for my Australian citizenship test today.

I won’t officially be at AISA #CyberCon this year, but I am in Melbourne when it’s taking place for the first time in years, so if anyone wants to grab coffee/cake/lunch/dinner, let me know! Bonus: you can have pets with these two!

Lazy Sunday catching up on some @blackhatevents.bsky.social USA talks. Mina possibly not so keen.

Applying for Australian citizenship today. "Please list every country you've visited in the last 10 years with dates." Welp. See you in a few days' time.

YES I GOT TICKETS TO THE ZELDA CONCERT IN MELBOURNE NEXT YEAR! Had to sit in an online queue for over an hour. Unemployment is useful for something, I guess.

Just bought a gaming rig for the RGB pretty components and I don't even game but whatevs

Question: Is it unethical to buy a discounted student ticket to an event if you also work full time? (Even if you are studying in some capacity too and have a student ID) personally, I think it is but curious on others’ thoughts.

Excited for Unprompted AU today and tomorrow!

Excited to be at the first Unprompted AU next week in Sydney! I'll be around the place volunteering so come and say hello! unprompted.au

WHAT DID THEY DO TO ZELDA'S FACE

BRB see you sometime before Christmas www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuFf...

This week my achievements include: - Watching S2 of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders - Eating lots of banana caramel peanut butter from a jar - Re-arranging stuff in my kitchen - Going to the gym most days Life is good

Spot the dog

Someone on IG made a mini MAGI computer from Evangelion mockup with different models debating each other and I realised that this is the OG agentic harness.

Join me in person for a full-day vendor-neutral FREE security event! We are holding the inaugural Security Forum event in Arlington, VA to share the work we are doing at The Open Group. You can access the agenda and register here: meet.opengroup.org/event/cbab26...

Now I'm funemployed what do I even post about, maybe daily shibe pics IDK

Well, this is me signing off from Microsoft. I have worked here for 7.5 years and although I have had weeks to prepare for this, I will confess I am not OK today. But I will be OK (this isn't a cry for help) as I have a lot of good people around me. See you all in the next adventure.

I got an email this weekend from a lovely gentleman who wanted to tell me that if you lose connectivity on Teams, it shows a picture of a Shibe! More of these random awesome messages, please.

A few folks have asked but no, I won’t be at BHUSA/DEFCON next week. I am applying to be an Australian citizen later this year and need to stay onshore the next couple of months. I’m sure I’ll be back next year: have fun y’all!

Gray very much into this book, Mina not so much @sherrod.bsky.social @leeholmes.com

Episode #131 is out! In this episode,we speak to Taesoo Kim about MDASH, what it is and why we should care and who did the best demo of it on the Build keynote stage ;) Also, the news.

Noooo I love him 7news.com.au/entertainmen...

I became a stereotype and did a Hyrox race yesterday. I finished and I think my time was respectable for a first timer but jeeeez my body ACHES.

Timeline cleanser for Monday: at the weekend my dogs took part in a sprint competition. Mina is pure joy chasing a plastic bag on a wire.

You can take the girl out of England.... still got to watch the World Cup

Apparently I should know who the Chainsmokers are... well, I do after this week 😅

I'm a *tiny* bit biased but of course the best thing in the #MSBuild keynote was the MDASH demo! You can re-watch the keynote here: www.youtube.com/live/FFMm454... And the full #MSSecurity Build blog post is here: www.microsoft.com/en-us/securi...

Super pumped for Build tomorrow: we have some awesome things to show you! Tune in at 10am PT tomorrow for the keynote from Satya, you can livestream here build.microsoft.com. And for my antipodean crew, it'll be recorded so you can watch when you get up.

See you soon, #MSBuild!

Today someone called Grayson a "chicken nugget in a jumper". Well, he's old which is why he has a jumper because he gets cold in the winter, also it's a cute charity jumper from Bunnings (Australia's Home Depot). Also, don't diss my dog.

In a plot twist I wasn't expecting, I will be at #MicrosoftBuild in a few weeks' time! Only on Tuesday 2nd June, come say hi if you're attending!

Really need all the security conferences to come to Australia this year as I have to stay in Australia for my impending citizenship application :/

My author copies of the second edition of the SC-200 Exam Ref which I wrote with @yuridiogenes turned up this week. Can't believe I wrote the 1st version of this ~5 years ago stuck in lockdown in NZ! If you're using Sentinel and Defender you should read, up to date with the new unified portal etc.

I went down a weird YouTube hole in the lounge in HK and discovered that the original Power Rangers have made guest appearances in the series recently and they look old so I feel OLD.

Can some explain to me why every other car in Zurich is a G-Wagon?
