No interviews tonight, I just talk for a little while about my recent
experiences with the IE7 party and my trip to Symantec in Southern
California. It's still a little hard for me to wrap my head around the
fact that when you do a search on 'security blog' in Google, this is
the second blog you find. Because of this, more security companies are
coming to me asking to be interviewed or just to talk to them. Mike Rothman poked fun of me a little bit
today in his blog, but I'll try to take it with a grain of salt. If
nothing else, Mike will keep my ego from getting too big. Hopefully I
can count on you guys to keep me honest too.
There's not a lot of show notes tonight, since almost everything I talked about is already on the blog somewhere. The only site I want to draw additional attention to is the PCI and Data Security Compliance site. I've added them to my news reader and if you have reason to be interested in PCI I would suggest you consider doing so too.

So here it is! Jeremiah
and I interviewed members of the Internet Explorer 7 Development team
to find out what they're thinking, what they've got planned next and
what went into the making of IE7. We also talked to the Yahoo Liason
to find out how they managed to release IE7 before Microsoft did, and
got the opinions of a couple of the other bloggers that were invited to
the party. Thanks again to everyone who we talked to.
Internet Explorer Release Party, October 18, 2006 From the IE7 team Gary Schare Chris Wilson Dean Hachamovitch Yahoo Gerald Si (I forgot to get a card, so tell me how to spell your name, Gerald) Bloggers John Obeto II Niall Kennedy Once again, thanks to the the folks out there who sent Jeremiah and I questions. I didn't get to half of the questions I'd have liked to. And you know what, the audio turned out pretty good for having been in the middle of a crowded bar. Yay for free drinks!

I'm playing with the Levelator from Gigavox Media tonight,
so hopefully the sound levels will be better than they sometimes are.
I kept the show to a decent length tonight, right at my target of 30
minutes, not including the song. I'm getting ready for the IE7 Meet
the Developers party tomorrow night, and going to visit Symantec on
Friday. Busy week.
Tonight's interview is with Ahmed Masud, CTO of Googgun Technologies. Their product, Trustifier, acts as a kernel modification, adding another layer of security and almost making any operating system into one with mandatory access control. This means the granularity of control over the files on the system is much greater than a standard discretionary access control model. Trustifier isn't in use much yet here in the States, but it's an interesting concept. Show notes: Give Dori back her license plate!

Tonight's interview features Shava Nerad, Executive Director of the Tor Project.
Shava is one of the few people I've met in quite a while who's more
concerned about personal privacy than I am. You hear that, Mike Rothman,
there are people more fanatical about privacy than me! I had a lot of
fun talking to Shava, both during and after the recording session.
Unluckily you don't get to hear all of the interesting stuff she's done
in her life. Maybe I can get her on again some time to talk about
Shava, rather than the EFF or Tor.

I've got my final comments on the Portable Media Expo, Listener
Feedback, the Firefox vulnerability hoax and my comments on a PCI
Self-audit. I'm still recovering from PME, which is why there was no
interview tonight. But have no fear, I've already recorded next weeks
interview, though you'll have to listen to the podcast to find out who
it is.
I recieved a lot of great feedback from you all, and keep it coming. I want to know from you what I can do to make the podcast better. Leave me some voicemail too! I got one voicemail this week from a group looking for someone to come talk to them about electronic voting. If it wasn't a two hour drive I probably would have gone for it, if just for the experience.
