A nice
article about weblogs and why they are no good in
general; I mostly agree with the author.
Why this blog-like site, then?
because I want to share things I develop/experience, and because
I'm trying to keep my Austrian relatives and friends somewhat
informed of my whereabouts - but not to the extent of "What did I eat
yesterday"...

This voting system is unproven,
high-tech and known insecure. That voting system
is proven, low-tech and fairly secure. The Conslutant Price Question:
which system are the murkins going to choose?
(a tip: forget common sense. The report? What report? Oh, that
report. Well, that
report is the work of defaitists, communists and open
sourcers. We can't trust them, because of securrrity and terrror

The pentagon recently canned SERVE because of the report.

Brian Raiter has written an excellent article about what overhead
is involved in building ELF binaries, along with /bin/true in 45 bytes.
This is nicely complemented by linuxassembly's guide on (guess what) assembly
and Linux.
All very useful if you're a compulsive bit-twiddler and control freak (like me).

...that fights back.
The languages of my choice are
- C
- perl
- and lisp -- despite the saying:
LISP: To call a spade a thpade.
No real hacker should ever miss
the Obfuscated C Contest
nor its
Perl Counterpart, these are truly awful. Wish I could write
gems like those.
Participating or stealing^Wborrowing code from the entries is
worth its time for sure, because you'd improve your job security
vastly by emanating that weird code :-)
I'm firmly in favour of
open source software, whatever
exactly you may call it.
The dark side would like to condition everybody with propaganda
like this, but it is not going to work:

As we all know UNIX is very good for nice, common tasks like

Of course (#insert <asbestos.h>)
emacs is my editor.

Emacs is a nice operating system, but I prefer UNIX.
Nevertheless emacs is not my login shell.

Are you familiar with the following?
R$1<@$2>$3 $#error $@ USAGE $: "aaaaaaaaaaah"
Well, I am. Yes, very familiar. And I still like
sendmail. Enough said.
There's a faint possibility that you might want to see what
anti-spam hacks
I've added to version 8.8.8+. Yes, I know that this is almost paleolithic
in comparision to today's versions. Still it was a nice setup then. The
new stuff is good for all of us, but there goes my effort :-).
Recently I've played with milter, the sendmail
on-the-fly filter system - and I still like the beast (must be congenital,
then).

...and the daemon
is my good-luck charm which I have
with..ahem,
on myself all the time. The Guru levitation status is what
I aspire to.
Check out userfriendly's
daemon series:
day one,
day two,
day three,
day four,
day five
and (IMHO the best)
day six.
