All in the <head> – Ponderings and code by Drew McLellan –

As a Parrot

I managed to catch the lurgy from Rachel, so I’ve been pretty much off my feet for the last couple of days. I’m starting to come out the other side though, and hope to have some interesting OS X discussion.

A note-worthy happening so far today is that I hooked up my PowerBook to our network at work, and It Just Worked. There was no need to reconfigure a thing – I opened up Safari and there was the web. I could get mail, browse the LAN with SMB, and hook up to the MySQL server running on my development box. Sweeet.

Worth a read is Simon’s post on Defending web applications against dictionary attacks and particularly the discussion that follows it. I really like sil’s suggestion of using an English Comprehension question as a security check.
