Facebook SSL All-The-Effin-Time (mostly)
This evening I found out that either someone hacked my Facebook, or my phone network routed me through Tampa, FL (seen something similar before, just not so far away).  Regardless, I have to say that Facebook seems to have fairly decent security mechanisms.   That being said, I can’t stress enough how important it is to make sure you’re as secure as you can be Facebook, so here is...

The fun route home?
Living in the Cleveland area, there aren’t a lot of “fun” places to drive.  By “fun”, I mean low traffic, twisty roads.  We do, however, have the metroparks.  That’s as close as I can get to the mountain roads I’m used to back home. So, today I took a bit of time to map my route home through the metroparks: View The Fun Way Home in a larger map If...

from python.podcast import awesome
If you don’t know, Chris Miller, Dave Stanek and Mike Crute started a podcast some months ago, aptly named from python import podcast. If you do know, great! Keep listening and supporting! What you might not know is that I crashed the party to babble with the fellas about all things python. Hope they like me, cause I’m sticking around! In all seriousness, on the most recent episode we talk...

Obligatory PyOhio 2010 follow-up.
So, yeah, PyOhio was all kinds of awesome. So awesome, in fact, that it was tool damn cool for 2010. What you say? I mean to say that according to the handout, we were actually in 2011. You had to be there to believe it. Sucka. The first talk I caught on Saturday was one that really piqued my interest. Scott McCarty talked about log analysis and demod a tool named petit, a pretty...

Android Scripting Environment.
Holy crap, why didn’t I see this before?!   I just recently started the task of writing an android application for shits and giggles.  Being that I’m not as versed in Java, it’s been a slow process.  Now that I can use ASE, I should be able to prototype the app completely in the time it has taken me to write as much as I have in Java. Any of my developer friends have...
