I read this paper that Bruce Schneier linked to regarding JavaScript hijacking. Seems to me that WordPress plugin developers who piggyback on WordPress’s builtin security features shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Judging from what little buzz there was, I think that’s probably true, but I’m interested in others’ thoughts.
Yikes! WordPress Hacked!
The WordPress crew have announced that the WordPress 2.1.1 download got cracked by an unnamed attacker who injected some code that would allow remote code execution. I’m glad I haven’t upgraded!
Done
I’m remapped. That was like a flashback to elementary school, getting called out by the teacher in front of the whole class! 😳 Thanks, Dave.
OPML Workstation Now IntelligentTeams
I guess I missed it, but at some point in the past few months OPML Workstation relaunched or rebranded itself IntelligentTeams. Maybe it was a soft launch? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just not as tuned in anymore. IntelligentTeams looks like a LAMP-based OPML Community Server (but I have no idea what the underlying technology… Continue reading OPML Workstation Now IntelligentTeams
Another Outlook feature disabled by Microsoft

Well, today I went down the rabbit hole searching for an answer…. And I found it. The pianist was Jakob Gimpel. I also found… Continue reading Rhapsody Rabbit Realization
What is a podcast?
Mike Arrington recently reignited some discussion about the definition of a blog. I have a related question: What is a podcast? I’m really only concerned with two technical questions: Does each feed item need an enclosure? If not, what ratio of items with enclosures to total items makes a feed a podcast? Does the enclosure… Continue reading What is a podcast?

Microsoft Outlook 2007 Supports OPML
Not that I’ll ever use it, but it looks like Microsoft is supporting the use of OPML subscription lists in Outlook 2007. I tried NewsGator’s Outlook extension, and I think Outlook is the worst conceivable way to consume the large volume of information I have in my modestly sized subscription list. But at least Microsoft… Continue reading Microsoft Outlook 2007 Supports OPML
