Putting the Communications Ink* Back in Codetalker

A defunct company’s then-fresh start.

Evan Spence | 1998-04-03

Maybe you’ve heard the soft ringing this week as new GIFs were dropped, Plinko-style, between the old tags of this web site.

Our respect and applause goes to James Zdralek of Dezine, who created and produced our new corporate image, struggling through successive iterations of “I don’t like it” and “What does that look like in green?” Eventually his good nature, patience and professionalism won through, and we were rewarded with the abstract design you see here: C

(We tell people it’s a representation of a scythe.)

With the revised website comes a renewed committment to its content. As we have always maintained, keeping a content-rich site like ours up to date is a time consuming task, and one with little immediate reward. Admittedly, we’ve been bad lately. Maniacal development can do that.

But we’re now up-to-date again, thanks largely to the tireless efforts of recent Codetalker addition Jeff Stewart. The new advisories, plus the dry, sarcastic comment of Kjell Wooding means we’re back in fighting form.

Which brings us to the subject of this opinion piece. We realized that Codetalker already had in place the resources and talent to further the awareness and discussion of security related issues on the World Wide Weeb. So we have committed ourselves to find the time to publish editorials in this space on a weekly basis.

As always, your opinions are welcome at info@codetalker.com. Or, if you’re especially steamed, just flame the guy that wrote the column that week.

We would like to open a forum of opinion responses some time in the future, but don’t worry, no comments you make will be published without your written (emailed) consent. Or, depending on our mood, we may require a digital signature.

Enjoy the site. We hope you find it useful.
