Tue Oct 28 20:57:45 2008 GMT: Snow

Wed Oct 15 17:25:17 2008 GMT: lua embedded into exim

Sun Sep 28 13:12:19 2008 GMT: London and Avebury Photos

After a wet summer, we are now at least able to enjoy a sunny September - meaning I have been able to take a few pictures: London: British Museum, London: Thames Festival, London at night and Avebury.

Sun Sep 28 09:03:23 2008 GMT: Mozilla Newsgroups

Looks like Mozilla got it completely wrong with their newsgroup setup. On Mozilla Development Forums they state that "The mozilla.* hierarchy is a local news hierarchy only available through news.mozilla.org and is not propagated to other Usenet servers. This is by design, in order to both help eliminate spam and provide slower lag time between posts and replies without having to wait for propagation", but also "We do share them with Google Groups to provide a web access method and archiving."

As Google Groups is by far the biggest source of spam on Usenet today, you already get all their spam, and propagating the hierarchy wouldn't make much difference spam-wise. In terms of propagation delay, this is nowadays usually within a second or two, so that doesn't apply either.

Mon Sep 22 19:10:03 2008 GMT: Web site migration

I have now pretty much completed the migration of my web site to my new hoster. And it's apparently working (otherwise you wouldn't be able to read this).

Sun Sep 07 16:52:22 2008 GMT: SIPFwd 0.6

I have just released another update for SIPFwd which adds support for DNS SRV records.

Sun Aug 31 16:48:07 2008 GMT: Facebook application turns users into attackers

Creating a web page with a couple of (hidden) iframes is now called research according to this article on New Scientist. And if you work on it in a team, you can even present it on a security conference.

I really do hope that I miss something important here, because I would have thought that these basics should by now be well understood (and most people should have heard of the slashdot effect by now).

Sat Aug 30 08:36:59 2008 GMT: Domain Transfer

Sun Aug 24 13:31:10 2008 GMT: Twinkle 1.3.1 and slrn 0.9.9 Ubuntu packages

Thu Aug 07 19:04:35 2008 GMT: 1.9 Million DVDs

Fri Jul 25 21:38:45 2008 GMT: AOL Sunsetting XDrive
