The Blog That Goes Ping. Pinging stuff I care about. OK, I think I’m learning something about how to manage my limited amount of skill and time to do leisure-time programming for myself. “Bottom-up programming” is important. I don’t get to do that too much at work. 100-line functions which do three dozen things are the order of the day, and it’s usually not within the scope of what I’m doing to break them apart at all. So when I can actually do that kind of programming, it’...Oh, where was I? Maybe ...

The Blog That Goes Ping. Pinging stuff I care about. Thanks, Russian spahackermers. There was a ton of Russian spam on this site for the longest time. Cleaned it out, but I’m not sure how good a job I did. Shout out to Google for noticing it and marking the site as “possibly compromised.” It sure was. Oh well. Ed That Goes Ping.

The Blog That Goes Ping. Pinging stuff I care about. I just rolled my own user authentication system that’s immensely safer than Gawker’s. It took less than an hour.

Shuck = ('a'.'z').to a ('0'.'9').to a. Return Array.new(32) { shuck[rand(shuck.length)] }.join. Where we first store it. Where we check it. Lambda the Ul...

The Blog That Goes Ping. Pinging stuff I care about. Falling Behind the Web. And hacked up the very simple theme file to include a image of my own, colors of my own, simple stuff like that. It looked nice, simple but nice. These days it’s not a little blosxom flavour file. It’s a WordPress theme, and it’s complicated. It’s a bunch of files full of PHP.
