A little guess game
I was browsing through the Top 100 companies to work for 2006 published by the local version of the international Capital newspaper and it amazes me how unrepresentative it is. So lets play a little guess game. What’s wrong with the following pictures? (aside from the fact that they were taken with a cheap webcam…

Economics, protecting the environment and Web 2.0
What do these things have in common? During the weekend I was at at a conference of economics (weird, isn’t it?) and one of the presenters talked about how we must look at the economics if we want to achieve a given goal, for example protecting the environment.

Things you (probably) didn’t know about your webserver
Today’s webservers are incredibly complex beasts. I don’t know how many of the people operating Apache have read the full specifications. I sure didn’t. So it should come as no surprise that there are hidden features in our servers (and some of them turned on by default), which can weaken our defenses. There are two…
