Everyone back to work for Monday!

If you're just looking for something to read that is technical, the folks at Palo Alto have put together a good list of books as "canon" for the security industry. Worth a look anyway.

For those of you who missed the chat the transcript can be found here:

For those of you who don't want to install it yourself, you can check out the video of the install (very Vista like) and the general look and feel of the web site at the academy. Yes, you have to register, but other then that it's free.

If you have videos that you want to see up on the web site you can request them here (I'll be watching the thread) or you can email me at adam at theacademy dot ca
