The Da VInci Code
Well, I, along with the rest of America (apparently) have been biten by "The Da Vinci Code" bug.
I've read the Da Vinci Code, I've read every book by Dan Brown, I've read Holy Blood, Holy Grail (the basis of the Da Vinci Code). I've read two different "about the Da Vinci Code" type books, one called "Fodor's Guide to the Da Vinci Code" and another named "Cracking the Da Vinci Code". Both excellent. I am now reading "The Jesus Papers". I'll let you know how it turns out.
Tonight I saw the movie. Pretty good. They left some stuff out of the movie that was in the book, and some stuff that was in the movie wasn't in the book. However, it was a great movie, and followed the plot closely. I recommend it.

How to Manage Really Smart People
Want great people to work for your security department? Here's what you do:
1. Hire Really Good People
What is a "good hire"? you can usually spot a fishy situation if you're paying attention. Someone who lies on a resume, doesn't have good references, doesn't pass a background check or just can't back it all up (give them a technical test in the interview!!) is not to be trusted. Don't hire them.
2. Set them Free
One you have the right people in the right place doing the things they are good at, leave them alone. Micromanagement pisses smart people off.
3. Give Credit
Never, ever take credit for what the smart guys do. It pisses them off, and they'll quit.
Is it possible that three simple rules can make you a great manager? yes. Hire the right guys, set them free, and give them all the glory. It works.

Destin, FL
Okay, well, this weekend I'm in Destin, FL. Nice touristy town. Humid as all hell, but nice.
Shopping seems to be the name of the game down here, (even though I am down here for my brother-in-law's wedding), but lots of shopping.

A review on two OSX text editors
Well, being a text editing man myself (lots of shell scripts, perl progs, Snort.conf and rules files), I decided to test out a couple of 'markup' text editors for OSX. Now, what do I mean by 'markup'.
Basically, when I edit a file, the editor should mark it up with different colors and such to deliniate what I am trying to do, that way, if I forget to put a ";" in somewhere, the editor should turn all my text red (or whatever) in order to tell me "Hey, you screwed up".
I chose to test two: Vim and TextMate.
Vim -- I like Vim because, well, I am used to vi + vim on the redhat platform. Vi is very easy to learn, and vim is even easier and more powerful. You can perform powerful regular expressions to replace text anyway you want to, searching for text is a breeze, and editing is very simple as well (once you get used to the interface, there is a learning curve). Vim marks up shell scripts, html, perl, and even snort.conf and snort.rules files nicely. The Vim interface for OSX is a bit lacking (hey, what do you want, it's vim!!), but at least it makes it up through menu commands. (Yes you can still do the manual ":" editing.
TextMate -- Standard text editor, you can't do commands like ":" in it, it's Sans-serif fonts are a bit nicer on the eyes than the fixed-width fonts of Vim. It marks up shell, perl, and html scripts just fine. However it does lack the ability to color code Snort rules files. Which kinda sucks for me. It has a much better Gui++, but costs money--.
Verdict: Unless you are willing to pay the money for a product that doesn't mark up everything you want it to, stick with Vim. Besides, you should already be used to vim. (right?)
