#FollowFriday – @RhodesTer: Funny Man, Satirist, and Alien Implant Survivor

by Scott Roche January 14, 2011 Follow Friday

I blog occasionally in my spare time (explains the infrequency) and so I know how hard it is to put out a blog post that’s timely or funny or interesting on some kind of regular basis. Today I want to introduce you to a blogger that manages to do all of the above, or at […]

Scrambled Bits – Part Three: TrueCrypt

by Scott Roche January 3, 2011 Featured

In parts one and two of this series I talked to you about the encryption software native to the newer versions of Windows. Contrary to what some would like to believe there are a lot of older versions of Windows still running around out there. There are also a number of operating systems other than […]

#FollowFriday – @thegearheart: Wrtiter, Artist, Musician, Podcaster

by Scott Roche December 31, 2010 Follow Friday

Today’s Follow Friday recommendation is @thegearheart. There are people out there who are criminally under followed. Now I realize that not everyone wants a thousand plus follows and I respect that. Still, when you’ve got someone as talented as Alex White running around on Twitter, you’d hope that he’d be a little closer. “But wait,” […]

#FollowFriday – @IdentityG: The Official Twitter profile of Identity Guard

by Scott Roche December 17, 2010 Follow Friday

I don’t follow many “corporate” or commercial Twitter accounts. Life’s too short and I have too many real people* to follow. The exceptions I make are… exceptional. Enter Identity Guard, aka @IdentityG. This Twitter account provides its followers with some really solid information on the latest scams and risks that pop up on the internet. […]

Scrambled Bits – Part Two: BitLocker To Go

by Scott Roche December 6, 2010 Windows

Previously on “Scrambled Bits” I told you about how to encrypt your computer’s hard drive using a Windows tool called Bit Locker. It’s fairly straightforward and better yet it’s free. Even more important than encrypting a PC’s hard drive, is encrypting the ubiquitous USB drives that so many people carry in their pockets. It’s easy […]

#FollowFriday – @jack_daniel: InfoSec Curmudgeon, Reluctant CISSP, and Amateur Blacksmith

by Scott Roche December 3, 2010 Follow Friday

The gentleman to the left is not an aging rock star, at least not in the traditional sense. As the blurb above suggests he is a well rounded individual and one well worth a follow. I got the opportunity to meet Jack (and yes I assume that’s his real name) at BSidesATL, an open source […]

#FollowFriday – @Braindouche: Audio Mad Scientist

by Scott Roche November 19, 2010 Follow Friday

Today’s Follow Friday recommendation is Braindouche aka Meredith. One thing I’ve never understood is following a bunch of people just… like… you. When I cast a tweet into the Grand Canyon of the Internet I don’t just want an echo back. So I follow people like Mer.

#FollowFriday – @planetx: Uber-geek and Creative Beast

by Scott Roche November 5, 2010 Follow Friday

Today’s Follow Friday recommendation is Jared Axelrod. His profile says that he’s an inventor, an innovator, and a world changer. When you read someone’s profile you can never be entirely certain that they are what they say they are. I can say that in Jared’s case he is.
