Nall's personal blog. Here be creature.
This isn't going to be a blog post about work stuff, is it? Nah. I just thought it might be fun to write about security. You're welcome to go have a read about binturongs instead. Okay, let's do this. Did you like the binturong post? Fine. Let's start with something glib: someone once said to me, tongue-in-cheek, that IT is anything with a plug.
