[SGVLUG] Presenting this meeting - Charles Wyble - How I (mostly) wrestled control of my data from evil corporate overlords

[Charles N Wyble]

Charles Wyble is a systems and security engineer. His focus in 2010 is 
security research, with a particular emphasis on improving performance 
of automated analytic systems. In support of this, he does a lot of 
networking stuff and is in the process of building a malware lab.

He lives in sunny southern California, with his wife Patricia and 2 dogs 
ISIS and OSPF. Yes they are named after routing protocols. He frequently 
hosts hacker parties, where all sorts of cool stuff gets built. You will 
often find him at various hot startups doing consulting, and at numerous 
user group meetings throughout the southwestern United States.

Charles Wyble will be joining the SGVLUG group once again and discussing 
the topic of data ownership / private cloud.

Owning ones data is a critical and often overlooked part of security. As 
such, he will discuss how he maintains numerous web properties on a 
Linux server at his residence, connected to the best DSL ATT has to offer.

He has recently completed moving all his data onto his own server, 
freeing it (mostly) from the control of google,yahoo etc. It was a 
relatively straightforward process, encompassing 4 major phases. He will 
talk about the tools he utilizes, and advantages/disadvantages to his 
setup and some of the problems he encountered.
