Goodbye, 2006

...hello, 2007!

Er...in a few hours, at any rate. Thanks to everyone who continues to tune in for a daily dose of ass-kicking action. If I've managed to get a few more of you out there to give a hoot about the security landscape...and by security landscape, I mean THEATRE OF THE BIZARRE....then so much the better. I set out this year to slam suckers in a ditch on a grand scale, and I think I achieved that personal goal so hooray. All I can do is promise to kick some more punks square in the pants next year, too. Of course, I'll be looking to step up the aggression factor a few more notches - I see no reason to hold back in the never ending battle against the wonderful world of the craptacular. Put simply, if you screw up, you're getting owned. Owned in a variety of magical and hilariously awesome ways.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy getting down and dirty and going toe to toe with anyone and everyone...check out some of the entries and comments sections here as a testament to that. Some people might disagree with my method of cracking skulls - to them I say, too bad. I make no apologies for not pulling my punches - I'll quite happily Riverdance on your grave and steal your shoes if you mess up. Try to defend the indefensible and I'll just keep dragging you out and making you look bad till you give up and start to cry. Then I'll really get going and grind you into a fine powder. I'm nice like that. And there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

Does that fill you with dread? I do hope so.

To all my comrades, colleagues, fellow bloggers, readers and everybody else....I'm thinking of you, Paperghost go-go dancers - have a good one.

To the people I continue to chase down the darkest alleys of the web - I wouldn't get too optimistic about what 2007 will bring, because I can tell you right now:

GIGANTIC HELPINGS OF MY FOOT UP YOUR BUTT.

In time, you'll learn to live with the pain.
