It’s all about YOU

So with just over 31 days to go before the European Laws change the game, it’s important to know how this may impact you in real life.

Art. 33 GDPR Notification of a personal data breach to the supervisory authority

In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent in accordance with Article 55, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Where the notification to the supervisory authority is not made within 72 hours, it shall be accompanied by reasons for the delay.

Clearly, the Lawyers and consultants will win in the end

Vague terms such as “undue delay” still gives weak protection for individuals but the game changer is 72 hours to tell everybody you’ve been hacked.

I can see more blackmail attempts coming forth as companies look to delay public notification.  The big telecoms companies are well prepared and have started notifying end-users of the legal changes but there is not much comments or chatter on how this will change the Hacker community.

The important thing is now you can sue someone when the big hacks happen….and they WILL happen.

Let the legal games begin

Life is Strange (The End?)

I concluded Season One of this unusual emotional gaming drama and the authors created a brilliant environment pulling you into actually caring for a character and then dropping you into the ultimate dilemma of sacrificing that same character.

Titles as deep as this are few and far between but thoroughly enjoyable like a good book or fine wine.

Life Is Strange – Tough decisions

Turning

I stand again in the “How the mighty have Fallen” category.

Having sidestepped adversity as a borderline miscreant, wondered through three marriages and fathered two beautiful daughters.  I now find myself in a single room sharing with two random strangers.

This is my time for healing and solitude.

It’s a quiet Saturday morning and I have nothing, literally not a pot to my name. I walk into a 1-Euro store to sounds of “Turn, Turn, Turn” playing in the background.

God is trying to tell me something again

"Turn! Turn! Turn!"


To everything - turn, turn, turn
 There is a season - turn, turn, turn
 And a time to every purpose under heaven
 
 A time to be born, a time to die
 A time to plant, a time to reap
 A time to kill, a time to heal
 A time to laugh, a time to weep
 
 To everything - turn, turn, turn
 There is a season - turn, turn, turn
 And a time to every purpose under heaven
 
 A time to build up, a time to break down
 A time to dance, a time to mourn
 A time to cast away stones
 A time to gather stones together
 
 To everything - turn, turn, turn
 There is a season - turn, turn, turn
 And a time to every purpose under heaven
 
 A time of love, a time of hate
 A time of war, a time of peace
 A time you may embrace
 A time to refrain from embracing
 
 To everything - turn, turn, turn
 There is a season - turn, turn, turn
 And a time to every purpose under heaven
 
 A time to gain, a time to lose
 A time to rend, a time to sew
 A time for love, a time for hate
 A time for peace, I swear it's not too late!
Far Cry® 5 – A Time to Heal

The making of…

As a child I used to Love just watching Mom making a cake, I was fascinated with the ingredients and methods rather than the final outcome.  Licking the spoon covered in cake mixture was pure pleasure and she spotted that early in my development.

The JigSaw movie (2017) cost 10 Million USD to make and earned over 100 Million USD….I watched the movie and it sucked.  Funnily enough, this time I bought the DVD as opposed to an overpriced cinema ticket and popcorn or catching it on streaming service.  The joy of Joy, I found an excellent series of “The making of…” documentaries on the DVD that was better than the actual movie.

The most captivating was the documentary from soundtrack composer Charlie Clouser, an absolute master of his Art and probably the number one reason I’ve followed the franchise over the past decade.

Far Cry® 5 – Some days just don’t start well

To date, I haven’t seen many documentaries on the Computer gaming industry but maybe this is just the thing to crush all the cliché assumptions from non-gamers especially around gun violent, cult-themed titles like farCry5.
