🌟 Happy Fun Friday, Tech Enthusiasts! 🎉Blog

It's been a long week of coding, debugging, and endless meetings, so let's lighten the mood and kick off the weekend with some tech humor! 😄💻Here's a quick one for you:A doctor, a civil engineer, and a programmer were talking about which job is the oldest. Even though there isn't much proof, there's a story about them debating their professions' history.👨‍⚕️ Doctor- “Surely medicine is the oldest profession,” says the doctor, “God took a rib from Adam and created Eve. This clearly means surgery and medicine were involved”👷Civil Engineer- The civil engineer breaks in: “But before that He built the heavens and the earth from chaos. Now that’s civil engineering to me if I’ve ever heard it.”😆👨‍💻IT Guy- The programmer thinks a bit and then says: “And who do you think created chaos?”😏😂

🔒 Cyber Chronicles: Entertaining Internet History & Security Insights! 🌐🚀

 Did you know? The world's first webcam made its debut back in 1991 at Cambridge University. Its mission? To help researchers keep a close eye on their beloved coffee pot without leaving their desks! ☕☕ Way before e-books became trendy, a digital pioneer had a blast typing up the American Declaration of Independence in 1971, kickstarting Project Gutenberg. Today, this project offers a whopping 34,000+ free e-books for all the bookworms out there! 📚   Surprisingly, spam emails started invading inboxes before the World Wide Web was even a thing! The inaugural spam email graced our screens in 1978. 📧😱   Ever wondered about the first computer virus? It made its debut in 1988, but not as a villain.

Beat These Monday Blues with Cybersecurity Fun Facts!

Are you feeling these Monday morning woes? Don't worry! We've got just the solution to kickstart your week with a dose of lighthearted cybersecurity knowledge.  Who says cybersecurity can't be fun? Here's your chance to spice up your Monday with some cybersecurity facts that will have you grinning from ear to ear!  Salting Your PasswordsYou might think "salting" has something to do with seasoning your coffee, but in the world of cybersecurity, it's all about adding some extra spice to your passwords! Just like adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavor of your food, in the cybersecurity realm, salting means enhancing the security of your passwords.When you salt a password, you add random characters or values to it before encrypting it. This makes it much harder for cybercriminals to crack your password, turning it into a cryptographic masterpiece. So, next time you hear salting, don't reach for the salt shaker; it's all about protecting your digital secrets! The Original Computer BugYo

Travel: Where in the world?

Hello TM family!Curious as to who’s got the travel bug? Where is a place that you’ve visited that truly inspired you and why? Or where is a place you’d love to visit that’s on your bucket list?  For me, one place that unexpectedly inspired me was Aruba. I had the opportunity to volunteer for the day at an orphanage and help design and fill gift boxes filled with school supplies and small educational toys. The children were so vibrant and happy and their laughter was infectious! One place I’d love to visit is Norway. I’d love the opportunity to take a fjord ride and possibly see the Northern Lights.

Interview with John Steven

This is the first in a series of interviews with ThreatModeler employees, founders and community members.  Today we’ll learn more about @John Steven, our CTO: Tell us a bit about yourself.I am first and foremost a curious engineer. I enjoy tearing things down, understanding how they work, and improving them. I've rebuilt cars and motorcycles, homes, cocktails, and cocktail bars. Professionally, I've applied this to OSS and production software, hardware, security programs, and security startups. Quality and craftspersonship are the things I appreciate most. Studying and appreciating what others have been capable of crafting is a joy and I've devoted particular time to food, beverage, and software design. Finally, I'm a father of two boys. More than anything else in my life this is what provides me joy and purpose.How did you come to work at ThreatModeler?I have followed what Archie has been building at ThreatModeler since the beginning.

FUN FRIDAY: Art Mango was so much fun for us! We collaborate as a team and treat our crew like family. Describe some of your favourite team-building exercises.

Check out the post from the ThreatModeler team's visit to Art Mango's Paint & Sip event.https://www.linkedin.com/posts/threatmodelersoftware_teambuilding-team-worktogether-activity-7041022668493492224-CAQW/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktopBack in my working days, I participated in Life's Best Moments activities and Escape game activities. Escape rooms are a fun way for your team to work together to solve puzzles and challenges in order to escape a locked room. This activity requires teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills, and the Life's Best Moments activity requires participants to step outside of their comfort zones. This activity is great for getting people out of their comfort zones and building meaningful working relationships.Give your thoughts on the most effective team-building exercises you've used?
