We are at a cyber security and information technology conference today at Manchester United’s stadium. One of the things we are looking at is to extend the security monitoring services at Smart Thinking and Octagon. Watch Smart Thinking’s blog for an announcement in the next week or two.
I had a two part article published today on Octagon Technology and Smart Thinking Solutions about upcycling old technology and the cyber security implications of doing so:

Linux for Business (Part II) – Smart Thinking Solutions
I needed a photo of the machine we installed Linux Mint on – this is it. There was not much I could do about the mirrored screen, except include these flowers in it rather than a view of the office.
This is a photograph for the company social media and day 2 of the Guardians of the Galaxy Lego advent calendar.
The photo is going to be used to promote Octagon’s Christmas competition – there are prizes…

Today’s Lego was presents for yesterday’s Peter Quill – headphones in a Christmas box and a Walkman with a cassette tape. Here is a better photograph.

The blog post I wrote yesterday – about the Smart Thinking Solutions cybersecurity news website has gone live today. Marketing are have an exciting day – and even this site has to play its part.
The blog post covers how and why we set up Smart Thinking Solutions, example articles from across the site, covering ten of the major themes we cover, as well a couple of posts from the “Because It’s Friday” and “Weekend Read” features, because the site cannot just be doom and gloom. Try this series of posts I wrote for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Weekend – Technology and the Platinum Jubilee.

Today the first post is published:
