Learning update
I've been studying and learning in the evenings for a while now and it's surprised me how well I've adapted to taking on new information in a different field again. I've been making my way through the Security+ learning material and research videos in anticipation of...
Gary Ruddell’s Sushi challenge
Whilst I can't do all of Gary's daily OSINT challenges I'll try and get a few done a week! Next up is this head-scratcher from Amsterdam again, check it out below: Again I tried to start off by analysing the photo for any stand-out features: Arched glass...
Gary Ruddell’s Holland Challenge
I tried replicating a challenge Gary Ruddell the Cyber educator did a few weeks ago and loved it so I'm glad he's started adding these weekly. This next one is shown below! For this one I started off by analysing the photo for any stand-out features:...
Security +

5 things I learnt doing the Mourne 7 7’s
A while back I ventured into the Mourne mountains with my compadre Simon to take on the Mourne 7 7's challenge. This essentially means climbing the 7 highest peaks in the Mourne Mountain range here in Northern Ireland in one go. All of these peaks are over 700...
Built a website so I did
When my wife came to me and announced she was starting a new business, I knew where this would end up. Cue hours upon hours of website building! Now to be honest this is something I like as it gives me the ability to get creative with ideas that would work. That being...
Pregnant goat you say?
We've now added another goat to the herd called 'Rosie' (after my mother-in-law :). We initially went looking for a buck for the females (Brenda and Wilma) that we already had but when we met her we had to take her home with us! She's due with twins in a matter of...
