• Non-Alpha-Numeric Passwords

    Why won’t my bank allow me to use non-alpha-numeric characters in my online banking password?!
    Don’t they want my password to be as secure as possible?


  • I’m Back!!

    In the words of the Chemical Brothers, I’m back with another one of those blog block rockin’ beats.

    I could have sworn that I had a backup of the database from the previous incarnation of the blog, but unfortunately it has been lost various server/HD moves since I last cared about this site. I think I’m going to re-write a couple of the posts, especially the security one that got dugg.

    For now, please subscribe to my RSS.


  • Summer Styles ’06

    As a programmer I’m not expected to have a good looking site, in fact i’m probably expected to have an ugly website. It took me a year to recognize this, but now that I have I can focus on adding kewl functions to my site, rather than stressing about how ugly it is. That said, I thought it was time for a new style. Here it is. Thanks to my lovely wife for the font suggestion and logo creation.

    CSS is awesome. The only tools I used for this redesign where: the web developer extension for firefox and notian’s online CSS Tidy Tool (because the web dev extension doesn’t let me format my css very well); and photoshop for the logo creation.

    You’ll note that the comment system is currently none-functional. It will remain disabled until I implement a Human Verification System.

    That’s all for now folks, I’ll try to update more frequently.
