Today I had an idea. The idea was to write a book. A reference book of useful information for network and security engineers such as myself.
The original idea was to release it as a “handbook for security” and have sections about securing, and breaking, systems.
But then I had the idea to augment it.
What if I released such a book, but instead of being a boring affair used as a reference for 2-3 years before it became out of date, I added other parts.
I started thinking about Ready Player One and Anorak’s Almanac. Useful information, coupled with other things. Thoughts, and streams of them. I started pulling together blog posts from widely flung places under this one banner. I’ll need more. Lots more. But this is a start.
I’m retroactively writing some based on historical evidence, wondering if there’s topics I should or shouldn’t touch.
Can I include guides to romance?
Can I include references to the cities I’ve been?
Should I talk about music? A big part of my life, but one I’ve not really touched on here at all.
Thinking this made me think about adding tabs here, for songs, so that I can pull them up as a reference.
Then I could use AI to tag it all?
Hmm.
And then there’s the last idea.
Could I embed a ARG inside the whole thing?
Hmm.
