2023-09-03 yes i'm still alive...sorta. the good news is that I just came back from a redteam/blueteam cybersecurity exercise. My first one in fact. It was a complete blast! way too much fun. I was blueteam of course and it was pure chaos from the start. totally worth it. the bad news is that i apparently picked up Covid from either the exercise or the long airport/airplane trips. totally bummer. This is in fact the 2nd time I've ever had Covid...but I can tell you this time is way better than the first time. In fact almost 3 years ago today I got Covid and was in the hospital for 6 days due to the viral pneumonia. Of course this was all before the vaccines were available. Well, this time my Covid infection is more annoyance than anything else. Body aches and tiredness are the extent of it. Not even a fever. It turns out vaccines do in fact work. anyways, until next time SDFers. peace out!
