Fun With Wordage

As of yesterday SafePasswd.com is now suggesting passwords over SSL for better security. Seems like a good idea right?
In other news, there is now a SafePasswd.com blog. The focus is quite simple. Bring better security to the masses.
Check it out, add the feed to your favorite RSS reader, bookmark it.

I keep regular backups of everything on this server just in case something happens. Recently I switched to a more automated and secure (PGP encrypted) solution for this blog due to it’s fast-paced nature. Just the critical stuff (database, media, templates). I choose PGP (implemented using GPG) since it’s easy, and I [...]

I’ve got a couple of larger (more research/data) style blog posts in the works here. I’m hoping to post them shortly, once I get a chance to finish them. I’ve got to get a new schedule for posting around here. It’s happening more in bursts than I like.

It seems to be happening more and more. I get emails sent either through my contact page or emailed directly to me that are extremely misguided. Often to the point where you question if they would give you their credit card number, social security number, or proof of a sacrificed first born if [...]

Over the past few days I’ve made about a dozen small changes to this blog, including code cleanup, slight layout tweaks, optimization, etc. I also managed to cut page size and requests down a little bit, which is always welcome.

I finally got around to changing the header to something different. This one is the tracks below Penn Station taken by user garann on sxc. I really should change pics a little more often to freshen the site up.

Inspired by Robert Scoble I started a link blog [atom feed] powered by Google Reader. It’s just an experiment at this point. I’ll add items as I find them interesting. Should prove interesting.

This weekend my Contact page got spammed. It’s now rewritten and using a few blacklists (including Akismet) among other techniques to eliminate spam. Should be much better now. I also think the handling of attachments should be better.
The spam appeared to be from a botnet, based on the fact that no 2 [...]

Just realized this blog is now 3 years old (as of a few days ago) with 930 posts.
And yes, posting has been very light lately, as I’ve been extremely busy, though I do expect things to ease up eventually.
