new name, location and more
Folks,
LOOK UP!
I’ve changed the name of my weblog to “Side Channels” to better reflect the underlying theme of this log (security) and also to convey my attitude… I like looking/thinking at/of things from a different angle. Doing so reveals new things that come contrary to common wisdom, and may also enable one to find vulnerabilities (as in the field of security.) I intend to do a lot of that during my studies at Cambridge.
I also created a subdomain for the weblog, weblog.saardrimer.com (surprise!) and the permalink structure is a bit different now… %postname%_%post_id%.
So I have a few requests:
1. Change the link and name if you link to this weblog.
2. If you know of other weblogs named “Side Channels,” let me know ASAP (I couldn’t find any.)
3. Tell me what you think of the new name.
4. Continue to visit!
Cheers.

I think its a mistake. As the number of weblogs grow, its harder and harder to remember who writes each one. For example, who writes “me, 2.0″? I’m migrating the name of mine from Emergent Chaos to Adam Shostack’s Emergent Chaos to move away from the problem. So call it Saar’s Side Channels or somesuch.

OK Saar - question from the ignorant: If I have your site bookmarked and click on the weblog button, do I have to change anything?

Adam,
I’m not that concerned about name recognition from this weblog. I also wanted a shorter name as well. My name is in the subtitle and the people who read this weblog regularly know me by name for sure. I’ll leave it like this for now, I think.
Helen,
You should be fine. But it is best practice to bookmark the new address… :)

Have done as instructed.
