In my quest for the elusive six pack as part of my “Six Pack for Santa Challenge” I’ve finally found the formula for the fastest results. In reflection it’s a pretty obvious dietary plan for those in the know but for me it took some experimenting to finally find what worked best. As much as we all hate diets (as a short term protocol) they can be incredibly useful when you want short term gains, and this post is just that, a diet and not a lifestyle plan. Read more »

Nutrition For Dummies
October 11th, 2011 
CarlG When it comes to nutrition I can certainly be described as a layman. In fact everyone I know is a layman in this field, yet we all have a firm interest in this arena and all have resolute opinions on which foods are good and bad.

So the following post is an ever growing list of the “facts” for the layman,as I see them, and I live by. Read more »
Volvo – Anti-skid Service Required
September 16th, 2011 CarlG Had the “Anti-skid service required” message appear on my Volvo C30 recently. It’s 4.5 years old and done 90,000 miles so it’s well out of warranty.

Mesh Security – The Next Evolution of Data Security
July 18th, 2011 CarlG Data Security strategy is currently stuck within the confines of the network. Organisations continue to protect their data the way they always have done, with layers of network devices to segment their architecture into secure enclaves of assets. Over the last five years, this strategy has become less sufficient with perimeters dissolving; internal users no longer trusted as they once were and cost becoming king. Perimeter Security was the first phase in providing data security. The next evolutionary step is Mesh Security.

July 1st, 2011 CarlG You wouldn’t believe how many people use guessable passwords. It’s no surprise and something we all do, because passwords are a pain to choose, remember and use.

Security begins at home
June 10th, 2011 CarlG So the Press loves a good story and so do we. The Sun’s 9 million readers know what they want and a good headline is what they get. More and more these days the media is filled with IT security scares and interviews with concerned Joe Public about “their” data and the irresponsible activities of industry and Government.
So who’s really to blame?
