When I rule the world...

Ok, whinge time!

Most of you will probably have read the 'If I were an Evil Overlord' stuff. It's great. If you haven't it's here.

This occasionally gets me to thinking... (when I'm in a bad mood) What kind of people would I totally irradicate from the world if I was in charge and having one of my Evil Overlord tempers? A quick blast from a star trek style phaser, no mess, no hassle... ;-)

My list goes thusly so far, please make appropriate suggestions! Let's tidy up this planet! Bwah ha ha ha ;-)

People who pierce bits of their body (exceptions for women with earrings, but only one set allowed)
People with tattoes
People who swear (exceptions for people who almost get run over by a truck or similar near death event or appropriate reason)
People who say "Nufink" instead of Nothing
People who don't understand what is wrong with "I didn't do nothing."
People who don't understand what is wrong with "I could of been there."
People who drive SUVS/4x4s to take their kids to school
People who wear anything from FCUK
People who don't laugh at my jokes (forced laughter not accepted, must be the genuine article)
People who use mobile phones on trains (in fact anywhere near me when I'm in a bad mood)
People who answer their phones when talking to me
People who are late for meetings
People who sit next to me on trains when there is a seat available somewhere else
People who take too damn long using ATMs/Electronic Ticketing Machines
People who are ahead of me in the queue at the supermarket
People who snore on trains/planes/buses etc...

That'll do for starters. Who would you remove? Doesn't have to be fair, equitable or even justifiable, remember, us Evil Overlords have carte blanche!

*** For the humour impaired. THIS ISN'T TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY OK?!! ***

Last bit from Infosec 2006

Well, my fingers are back and healed now on my trusty laptop. Thought I'd share a few pics I took on my mobile at the show. Just wilt at the stunning quality of the built in camera. (I use the word camera in a very loose fashion...)

It was madness on the 24th (day before), this pic shows the state of the place during the afternoon before the show. Utter chaos, cables everywhere, bits of debris, paint, nails, screws, hinges, you name it, miraculously transformed for the following day...

Sun didn't have it's own stand (yes I know, we ask the same question), so we were fortunate to be able to piggy back on our bon amies 'ActivIdentity'... Naturally, our EntireID proposition was on display (which contains some ActivIdentity stuff)

It was a big show, virtually all the famous names were about and a bunch of folks I hadn't come across before. Stuff on display included a lot on anti-virus, firewall, VOIP, ethical hacking, server security, card management, encryption, but nothing really new and funky. Looks like a year on consolidate to me..

Coolest piece of technology? Well, nothing really jumped out at me, but these two fellows were quite amusing. Walking around in a moody fashion with dark glasses, struting around like the management, but never saying a word. They had backpacks with big speakers and modified laptops fitted. The screens were on a big pole that came out of the top of the backpack to an LCD panel above their heads... thus they advertised around the halls.

There were also some fluffy bunny girls, but damn, the mobile camera was too slow at reloading! ;-)
