I was just checking out the VitalSecurity.com mailbag…reminding myself to remind Paperghost I am off duty tomorrow- it’s the birthday for the precious and I have to make it back to CLE in time to celebrate with family and as my treat to check out a great short by another colleauge- David Lawrence, who seems to have a sensation, with the My Name is Wallace short- see Wallace trailer here.

At any rate PG may not get the e-mail because he is busy applying liberal fingers to the eyes of some malware grid runner, but I figure he will get the ping…A sign of the times.

From the VS Mailbag….

Dintz: Gimme a day in the life of pg please

Er, there’s no real way to answer this without it turning into a boring list an nobody likes those, right? Suffice to say, there’s a bunch of computers doing a bunch of stuff and then I wake up and start fiddling with them to an insane degree. In addition, there’s machines that run online games day in and day out, so people can report nasty hacker people ingame. Finally, there’s around 700 to 1000 emails every day that need sifting through. Out of those, only about 30 to 40 are things about inflating body parts or buying pills. If my email goes down for just one day, there’s Hell to pay catching up. You don’t want me to find your latest screwy install on that day, I can tell you.

Sure, it doesn’t sound exciting but wait till it all starts kicking off. Then it’s fists flying and guns blazing. Sort of.

PG, humerous and lethal with a bowstaff as well as a composer’s stick thingy- the orchestra thing. He is right- when it all starts “kicking off” stuff goes pear-shaped fast. I have had the honor of working with him for over a couple of years and known him even longer…ala the Spazbox.

We have spent many nights following the deceptive lights in the matrix, watching insanity unfold real-time, interacting with some of the most bizarre characters and getting pitchied into general mayhem that often defies description. All the while not trying to get garroted by dudes with hidden cheesewire and assorted lethal weapons because they are like old cold-war crypto people. Nice, but they have to kill you- its like their job.

So he really isn’t kidding and that is a pretty accurate description of a day in the life of PaperGhost.

I think I am getting too old to even handle a tame research session with a guy describing his latest top tip is from someone who is “known to deal death Kung-Fu style on a regular basis”. There really needs to be a comic book.

Until then it is going to be a Power Point with an RSA Encore show, via WebEx. I am not sure if it will pack as much punch, but the cases are interesting.

When I reflect on it it all it seems like another slice of social irony because it all started on a David Lawrence Show radio segment Chris and I did on the respective cases only much higher level (after Merle Haggard- which was lost on UK based Chris)…and both cases wound up being the hinge pin of our presentation at the RSA Event.

See what I mean? Irony. My life is overflowing with irony.

This does remind *me* to remind Mr. Lawrence that Bitpass passed. Maybe I should suggest this to Mr. Flemming as well since everyone is being caught with their Bitpass down?

One solution might be trying the PayPal micropayments option- designed for transactions under $2.00 USD- which would fit his archived show format well. You will need to mix it with a delivery system like Payloadz and the PayPal merchant account. I am pretty sure you will have to open up a new PayPal account with a new bank account just for the Micro Transaction option. You only pay 5% + .05 per transaction. In addition Payloadz has a built-in, but somewhat limited affiliate system, sliver of a sliver. Unless anyone has a better option(s)? Did Peppercorn survive? Is there anyone doing micropayments well?

OK… off to fire up Skype the grand Twitter Experiment. I hope I get this right the first time, because if I edit- it will fire into the Twitter stream again…making me an accidental Twammer.
