Evidently I'm now a "Certified Information Systems Security Professional"

In my quest to become a ninja, well that is a digital Jedi of some sorts I have recently obtained the (ISC)2 CISSP. This was a tough certification at 250 questions and 6 hours but some how I survived it and actually passed. I really found the CISSP for Dummies and the Shon Harris CISSP Certification All-in-One Exam Guide to be the most useful points of reference where as many of the other guides seemed to be overly complex but that's just my 2 cents... Either way a great addition to my short IT career to date :-).

Debian backup and/or update script

This Debian script is forked from another Gentoo script that I was previously involved in. From a basic stand point it can update the software repository, backup the file system, and send the backup to another machine via SSH. If you're interested in checking it out then great. If you find any bugs or think it could use some added functionality the please let me know!
