  • To moderate or not to moderate

    Recently I watched a WordCamp Dallas presentation entitled 45 Ways to Power Up Your Blog. One of the thing I liked was the remark that you don’t need to be focused sharply on one domain to have a successful blog. While my blog is first and foremost for venting and my no means do I…

  • Approving comments

    As I explained earlier, the only reason I prefilter comments is spam. I do not censor comments based on any other criteria. If you comment didn’t show up, the only reason is that I’m being lazy (yet again :-p). However there was one comment on my Favicon for blogger (which I will update shortly by…

  • 100th post & various short stories

    Incredible, isn’t it? This is the 100th post! Also a curious thing: in both October an November I had 39 posts (I didn’t plan it and didn’t observe it until I moved over to the beta Blogger and started tinkering with the customization of my blog). What follows are some small bits of information: A…

  • Things I read / listen to – part2

    While going through the motions of checking for new items on Google Reader, I realized that many great blogs / podcasts were left out from the last list I published. For example Casting from the server room which is a (great) podcast similar to In The Trenches (and not surprisingly they are both members of…

  • Things I read / listen to

    After getting mentioned on a great security/forensics blog, I thought I list of the feeds I watch. This is not a comprehensive list (I have at least twice as much in my Google Reader), but these are the ones with which I try to keep up: 2600.com – Off the hook radio show. While sometimes…

  • You can make a difference!

    Just a quick post: if you find something on the global ‘net that you don’t like, blog about it! It is amazing how quickly (a) you find out that you were wrong at the thing you criticized should be actually so or (b) get a response from the person that they are actually working on…

  • What am I reading?

    I’ve read two and a half 🙂 really interesting posts today (warning, they are pretty long) about computer languages: Bambi Meets Godzilla a little anti-anti-hype The departure of the hyper-enthusiasts And I thought I share some of my opinions about languages. I’m polyglot myself and have some experience with many types on languages. GWBasic /…

  • Don’t reinvent the wheel

    From the department of don’t make your own program unless you know what your are doing come the following two: The Websense security blog RSS feed keeps marking the first post as new. While it is a very interesting post (about analyzing shellcodes form browser based exploits), I don’t want to read it five times.…

  • Pimping my blog

    As you can tell I’ve been tweaking my blog a little last week. I’m still new to the production side of blogging (as oposed to the consumption side) so surely I’ll make lot of changes in the future. The changes I’ve made until now are: Added a picture which is representative of me Converted my…
