Hackerspace KL

I went to HackerspaceKL (HSKL)’s Security Meetup – UniPwned! – Hacking UniFi for the LOLZ on the 11th. I wasn’t really interested with Unifi since I won’t get the service due to different telco. I was more keen on the HSKL themselves. Wanted to check the place and join their activities. They have interesting activities like the Electronics Fridays, the Security Tuesdays and the UNIX-g33ks workshops but thanks to my laziness (I think), I have failed to do so.

SO, after much thought, plus the “geeky” soul searching, I have decided to apply for HSKL membership. The fees will be RM50 per month with minimum duration of 3 month which means, I need to pay lump sum of RM150. More details on the membership here.

The main reason for the membership is because of their UNIX-g33ks workshop. As non-members, you need to pay RM350 for the whole series (8 sessions) but free for members. So you do the math, I only pay RM150 for the 3 month membership and all activities will be free. LOL. Cheeky me. Shhh.

The other reason is because I will probably be given the opportunity to join the UNIX team for the new account in my company. Considering it as a promotion since I’ve been stuck in the Wintel/Backup team for quite some time now. It hasn’t been finalized yet. So I need to prepare myself for it. The eligible candidates will later be sent for the company trainings. At least, I will be well prepared. Currently still waiting for manager’s email.

Fingers crossed for good things to come. ;)
