Since I do not really have much as far as a normal post goes, I just want to touch on a few things quickly:
1) Keep your eye on Hacks4Pancake’s blog as she is thinking of doing a post based on her experience as a reviewer for Derbycon’s CFP
2) I am still working on Carbon Black Defense and losing more hair over it. I swear at times it feels like it needs more refinement on the admin end.
3) No matter what happens, just keep pushing forward. Mistakes are the best thing to learn from if you do not let it get you down. Ask questions and stay curious my friends.
