Index to Words & Music Pages

Verse and music on this page are slowly being transferred to different blogs, imaginatively entitled David Harley’s Songs (which opens to an index of the songs) and David Harley’s Verse, and in fact there’s already a whole more information there. And my main blog now is actually the Wheal Alice blog, which is mostly focused on music. However, it might start to find its way back as I try to rationalize my output. :) If you’re only interested in the security-related stuff, you might want to shoot over to my Small Blue-Green World page or the Geek Peninsula page, which has links to most of my security writing.

Here’s a close-to-full list of the other Small Blue-Green blogs:

Anti-Malware Testing (AMTSO, anti-virus product testing, the universe and everything…) Not currently maintained.
Check Chain Mail and Hoaxes (Information and commentary on hoaxes, spam and scams.) Not currently maintained.
Dataholics: the IT addiction (Ravings of a security-obsessed internaut, with the occasional cartoon…)
David Harley Photos
David Harley on Wikipedia! (Surprisingly accurate. But I have corrected a few things since I realized it was there. I suppose I ought to check it again at some point…)
David Harley’s Songs (Song lyrics, recordings and demo recordings, related info.)
David Harley’s Verse (This site is going from bad to verse, as my one-time musical mate Nick Warman would have said.)
Earth laughs in flowers Flower photos from Heyjude
Geek Peninsula Primary resource for papers and articles: also some old PR stuff.
Mac Virus (Focused on Apple – Mac and iOS – malware and security, and by extension other mobile platforms.) Not currently maintained.
Old Timey-Wimey (a musical project that probably isn’t going anywhere further now.)
Parodies Regained (Parody and pastiche.)
Postcards From (travel stuff from Heyjude)
Sabrinaflu (a (mostly) music-related resource publicizing folkie venues and events in the area around the Severn (and beyond). Originally maintained as a cooperative venture with Felicity Burke, now rarely updated, since I no longer live in the area.
Shropshire Blues (miscellaneous Shropshire-related stuff, some of it musical)
Small Blue-Green Photos (Small Blue-Green Photos mostly from Heyjude)
Small Blue-Green World (A business-oriented view into the Small Blue-Green empire…) No longer maintained.
Urbanicity (Architectural photos, mostly from Heyjude.)
Wheal Alice: me now I’m focused on music and non-security writing, and living in the West Country.

I suppose you could call this my vanity site (or one of them). It’s maintained as a resource for my music and for writing that isn’t (usually) directly connected to my former work as an IT security author/consultant. (If you’re actually interested in the security stuff, see the links at the end of this post.) Just to be clear, none of this material is in the public domain, and all rights are reserved. I hope you enjoy listening to/reading it but if you actually want to use it in any commercial context, unlikely as that may sound, you are honour-bound and legally required to ask me first: you can email me at info[at]dharley.com.

Recording Sessions:

Diverse Brew Sessions:

One Step Away From The Blues
True Confessions
Heatwave

Scriptwrecked Sessions

Sheer Bravado Cassette:

More recent recordings (not commercial quality): as of 12th May 2014, the listings for this are somewhat out of date.

Scriptwrecked Sessions

Additional tracks from sessions in the early ’80s at CentreSound studios from which the ‘Sheer Bravado’ album was assembled. Some of these tracks (plus the three intended for ‘Diverse Brew’) were drawn on for the ‘Scriptwrecked’ album. Not in any particular order, and not all the tracks used are here.

Songs Without Music:

Over The Hill
Thomas Anderson (now includes MP3: not commercial quality though)
Let Me Lie Easy (now includes MP3: not commercial quality either)
Snowbird
Odd Job Man

Demo Recordings

Quick and dirty recordings of songs I hope to revisit and spend more time on a better version. Home-recorded on BOSS digital gear which I hope to have time to learn to use properly Real Soon Now. Just one song – Bootup Blues – there at the moment, though two of the recordings added to the Songs Without Music page also qualify and will probably get moved shortly:

Settings of poems (unaccompanied demo versions)

Bredon Hill (Housman-Harley)
The Carpenter’s Son (Housman-Harley)
When I was in love (Housman-Harley)
Farewell to Severn Shore (Housman-Harley)
The Pilgrim (Yeats-Harley)

Other Writing

Miscellaneous Prose

A Fairy Tale (and not, therefore, anything to do with AV testing)
Vanity Press (or The Glass Bead Game Revisited) (the joys and sorrows of working with major publishers)
A Front Row Seat in the Security Theatre
24/7 Ranting

Verse or Worse

Folk Resources

At the moment, this page consists of a floor-singer’s tipsheet a number of us compiled in the late 1990s, and a reference to a later version – not sure where that comes from, but it wasn’t me. As I seem to spending a lot of time with old folkies these days, it may be that other things might find their way onto this page in due course.

Parodies Regained

…could have been a separate page here, I suppose, but it isn’t, for historical reasons. Anyway, here’s a list of what’s there at present:

A Torrent of Abuse (Thoughts on passwording that Paul Simon may never have had)
Convoy II (60s hit re-imagined in a slightly different social context)
Make Mine A Snowball (what would Xmas be without The Snowman?)

Security-related publications

Security-related publications aren’t kept on this site now. Most of my recent papers are available or linked from the ESET resources pages including white papers, conference papers, and articles for external publications and sites. Mac and other Apple-related resources are mostly kept at the Mac Virus site. Some other papers and information on some of my security books can be found on the Small Blue-Green World blog page.
