Online Security Workshop for Czechitas

Phishing, securing social media and passwords — topics of the workshop

Over the autumn I got the chance to take part in a one-day security workshop. Thanks to my job I also helped shape the content. Since there's no shortage of interesting topics, we decided to focus on three main areas:

Svatba

Mr. and Mrs. Šrámek

I'd like to share a few observations about the whole wedding planning process. First things first — prepare a fairly sizeable budget. Even when you're trying to keep things small, there's always someone who likes to charge a premium for their services to newlyweds.

As part of the Czechitas Open Week I was given the opportunity to present on security. Since awareness is important, I didn't hesitate.

The Spitfire documentary was made last year (2018) but only reached cinemas recently. It tells the story of the fighter aircraft often credited with deciding the Battle of Britain.

Turris MOX

The modular Turris

As the owner of both the original Turris and the newer Omnia, I got the opportunity to back the latest project — the MOX. And I waited. For a long time. A really long time — until this June I finally got my hands on it. The Super Early Bird was essentially an AP for the Turr...

Off to Work...

...by scooter

This year the "Bike to Work" challenge ran again. I had no competitive ambitions — the goal is simply to rack up as many kilometres as possible during May. A scooter works too, so I mapped out the best route and set off. Part on the pavement, part on the road, and sometimes through...
