What can you do in 2k of C?This is a good intersection with Do you write code everyday?
Finally a DashboardFollowing on from the inspiration of joxer, the The Panic Station, Stashboard and a couple of github repos, we've just put together a similar dashboard for the status of key systems for my day job. A combination of a couple of Mac Minis (low power and heat, sitting in a cupboard), a combination of Python, HTML5 and CSS3, sucking in data through some (RESTful and non-RESTful) Web Services - and all of a sudden we've got reportable data - including of course the most important data, the number of days since someone had to buy doughnuts for the team as a result of breaking a production system :-)
ack and pvThe latest additions to my shell toolbox are ack and pv. Very cool indeed!
Real-world use for MD5 CollisionsPractical implications of weak cryptography - Creating a rogue CA certificate. What does this mean? If this approach is generalised, you can't trust secure websites at all -> every single secure website may not be who you think they are, even if your browser happily presents the "little green tick". So who uses secure websites? ecommerce (Amazon, eBay, your bank), the tax office, many government departments, social networking portals, software update sites, software download sites. Scary, yes, but highlights the need to build seemlessly upgradable cryptographic software solutions - and we need to do this now before public confidence in our virtual world is eroded.
