Google’s BeyondCorp effort would probably be what we would now call Zero Trust, although I am surprised by how little name recognition BeyondCorp has when I talk to security people about Zero Trust. Perhaps there are subtle differences between the two, but if there are they aren’t obvious to me. I find myself reading the…

A corporate system for continuous innovation: The case of Google Inc
So, one of my kids is studying some business units at university and was assigned this paper to read. I thought it looked interesting, so I gave it a read as well. While not being particularly well written in terms of style, this is an approachable introduction to the culture and values of Google and…
Configuring load balancing and location headers on Google Cloud
I have a need at the moment to know where my users are in the world. This helps me to identify what compute resources to serve their request with in order to reduce the latency they experience. So how do you do that thing with Google Cloud? The first step is to setup a series…
Google book search
I just noticed that the ImageMagick book appears in Google book search. I’m pleased.
MythTV talk at Google
I’m giving a MythTV talk at Google in the next week (although I can’t find it on the events calendar at the moment, I’ll update this post when I do) so I’ve been playing with MythTV 0.21 a little more than I have in the past. Its pretty cool. I’m still writing the talk, so…

Trends for “return gift”: . Who would have thought that people only return gifts at Christmas?
This would be me pimping tcmalloc
Uber cool Google written malloc implementation saves day at Wikipedia. Rusty objects to the 6mb memory overhead. I guess the overhead is a big deal if you run lots of binaries, which isn’t always the case.
Solar panel reflection effects in satellite imagery
Google Blogoscoped has an interesting pointer to a star effect on a Google Earth satellite image. Apparently the consensus is that its the sun reflecting off a solar panel, but it’s still nice.
MySQL Camp
Kynan and I came along to the MySQL camp, and thru a quirk of fate pretty much ended up running it (the person who was meant to be running it got injured on the first day and had to go off to hospital). In return we wrote the Google Code blog post about the event….
A MythTV Jabber bot
While I love my wife and kids to distraction, the distraction bit is real. Then again, I’m sure they have a counter argument that I tend to end up deep in thought, and which point you could probably push me off my chair and I wouldn’t notice. Anyway, that’s mostly beside the point. What is…
