Weekly Update 68

It's 2018! All new year and already someone has gone and broken our computer things courtesy of the Meltdown and Spectre bugs. I only touch briefly on them in this week's update and I refer people to my Twitter timeline for good coverage I've shared. However, there's one resource which stands out above the others and it's this thread from Graham Sutherland. If you want to get a good overview quickly, start there.

In other news, I talk about all the NDC events I have coming up:

And how my Twitter timeline is, well, my Twitter timeline!

My Twitter account reflects my personality. There will be things you like and things you don't and if the latter outweighs the former then by all means, unfollow. But don't for a moment think that I'll tailor my feed to the whims of one person at the expense of my own integrity. https://t.co/fOb9myrjTB

Plus, I spend a bunch of time talking about the year that was in 2017. Enjoy!
