Just a little radical?

State of the geek

Day off yesterday was a Good Thing; got caught up with housework, paperwork, shopping, coding (a bit). I've finally written the code I got my GPS for and can now upload a GPS trace and use it to automatically link all related photos on my site to their location on Google Maps (Google Earth and in-browser maps will follow). Once I've wrapped a bit more security around it (ie, I don't want to give GPS locations of parties) I'll upload it to my live site.

On the downside, the PHP-hardening patch appears to break admin of larger albums on my sites as it limits the number of variables you can send in a POST request (to prevent overflow attacks). There's no data loss but all EGPC data is unset on post so the site thinks you're logged out.

Instrospective code

I've just started running automated test scripts over psychological profiling quizzes.

Apparently my software now has enough personality to qualify as "hedonist".

I'm terrified... no, really.

There is now apparently a "virus*" for OSX. However, to trigger it, you have to accept a download, open it and give it your administrator password.

Somehow, this is failing to terrify me.


* actually it's a Trojan. Stop laughing over there.
