#AusCERT2025 photo dump 1/n

I swear I only won because of my cheer squad! #AusCERT2025

Speed debate crew checking in! #AusCERT2025

Slightly tipsy "outfit of the evening" selfie 💜 first time out in this dress, and loving it!

Woooooo! Go @markslaffan.bsky.social 🎉 So thrilled to see you win this! So well deserved!

Definitely NOT my most flattering photo before. This one is better 😘💜

Gala dinner - and we're on the party table! #AusCERT2025

Take away points - AI is here. #AusCERT2025

Ooooh! Prompt pattern matching!!! #AusCERT2025

Awesome talk from Thomas Roccia on GenAI and its impacts for security. This piece on IoPC is so cool - definitely timely for right now! #AusCERT2025

Loved getting up and speaking with these awesome ladies - awesome panel on Essential 8, great questions from the audience too! Hope we held you get started on doing something*! *MFA. YOU WANT TO DO MFA. #AusCERT2025

AMAZING talk from Jess Modini about the epidemiology of cyber resilience here at #AusCERT2025. Her key action items are things we should all be doing! Also, she has the best name... but I could be biased 😅

Kicking off the #AusCERT2025 conference with the amazing Adam Spencer MCing - looking forward to an amazing few days!

Oh, and if I like you and trust you not to rat me out, I have some NSFW stickers...

Heading to #AusCERT2025 today - will be lovely to see some familiar faces and catch up with folks after a rough year since I was last at AusCERT! Speaking *again* - 5th year in a row, something I'm super proud of. If you're there, come say hi! 💜 I will 100% be socially awkward though...

Trying to come back here more, but wary of falling back down the "drowning in social media" rabbit hole.

Here it is - the Microsoft Build Book of News! news.microsoft.com/build-2025-b...

Heart melting - these two cuties 🥹😍💜

Folks who suffer from impostor syndrome - how do you cope? Don't get me wrong, I much prefer this to thinking I know *EVERYTHING* and being ignorant about all the things... But there is definitely a concern that I don't know enough, that my knowledge isn't valuable and it sucks.

Well, it's been a couple of years since I was immortalised in chibi form, that was then turned into a sticker (and if you have one of these, consider yourself privileged!) Again, thankyou to the amazing @mishmashtan.bsky.social for this one! But the time has come for an updated version...

Oooh shit, realised I hadn't introduced over here! Meet the newest floof in my household - she's adorable and a bloody menace. Her name is Rosie. She is 99% trouble, 1% cute.

Slowly coming back out of my mental hole to be a functioning member of society again. Grief (and worse, delayed grief) is WHACKED. Does a number on your head, I tells ya.

Still the best piece of art that has ever been made of me (other than the stuff my kiddo draws, of course!). Highly accurate - down to language (especially), colour, and even the look on my face 😅 Thankyou @mishmashtan.bsky.social for this epic piece that I absolutely still treasure.

I wrote a thing. I think it's important. So that people get a better understanding of what is going on right now. What is actually being said. In English: patricia.no/2025/02/09/d...

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Let's Encrypt is ending the issuance of certificate expiration emails...overall a good idea, but this will trip some people up... #infosec letsencrypt.org/2025/01/22/e...
