Paperghost and Wayne Porter hit the David Lawrence Show...

Well, I had to sit up all night and do the show at 5AM, but it was well worth it. For anyone who doesn't know, David Lawrence has an online / offline radio show type-thing operating out of LA, and it's a pretty huge show. And I finally got to speak to someone who has an entry on Wikipedia, so I can now die happy.

Before we went on, they had that sheriff guy who makes the criminals run round in pink undies.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to speak to him but we did get to wax lyrical on all things Spy/Ad/Malware for an hour. To top things off, we wound up with a ten minute podcast that you can check out here - it's free to listen to, and the full show should be available in the next couple of days for a small fee. in case you're wondering, the Podcast is all about the Sony Rootkit story - you know the one.

By the time we did the podcast (after the hour-long show) I was pretty much dead on my feet so I say "er" and "um" a lot, but I can say "um" as much as I want when I'm rambling about the technicalities of rootkits and DRM at 5 in the morning after 48 hours without sleep. And who knows, by the time the full show is out, I might be able to go back on as the guy who claimed the world record for the most times someone said "er", "um" and "pleasekillmeimsotiredandiwanttodie".

I'm now going to bed for what feels like the next six months - try not to let the interweb burn until I get back!

/ Update - Here, as promised, is a link to the full show (of which, our segment costs 25 cents to download). There should be a text transcript posted shortly, so you can read what went down as opposed to listen to us babble. We were also on with Merle Haggard, who (I am reliably informed) is a big Country Western singer. However, I go to raves in warehouses with glo-sticks and whistles, so I have no idea about any of this. I also don't go to raves in warehouses, but after so much sleep deprivation everything seems like a party so that's okay.
