A friend just sent me this link to a blog entry that describes the return of GPG Mail to Snow Leopard 10.6.2:

And it works! Go get it.

Something just happened here in old Sweden. A doctor sent an email with confidential patient info to a local government office, but fatfingered the adresses, so it ended up with 200 different people at that government office. Problem was, except for the numbers, that the patient he was divulging info about, actually works at that [...]

Saw this “How old will you get?” site, in Swedish, linked from a friend’s Facebook page (or an ad, can’t really make it out, but that’s the nature of FB, right?):

Stupid site, don’t go there. But if you do go there, they ask you to register. So you don’t, but click “Starta testet” instead. Then [...]

A friend of mine just told me about what an MS evangelist said at a symposium on multicore (paraphrased), after getting the question:
“Did MS consider that cache awareness for programmers in multicore development?”
…and he answered:
“The average developer is not capable of handling that kind of level of detail. … Most developers are that ignorant. Welcome [...]

To quote an article on annoyances.org about the new ClickOnce install support that MS has added to .NET:
The Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 update, pushed through the Windows Update service to all recent editions of Windows in February 2009, installs the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant firefox extension without asking your permission.

I habitually block outbound connections to tracking services like google-analytics.com. (I use Little Snitch for this.) Just because I don’t like them. Recently I noticed I often can’t connect to youtube.com, getting “server not found” errors. Amazingly, once I let google-analytics through again, everything works.
I haven’t verified exactly why this happens so I’m guessing the [...]

There is a problem with Test Driven Development (TDD) and security. Even though I’m a severe proponent of TDD and do my own development (largely) that way, I notice a strong conflict between good architecture and TDD. I’ve also seen mention of this effect in the journals lately, so I’m not alone in this.
What happens [...]

After having read about the goddam awful handling of a student that hacked a university system, I’d felt that a little story could help tip these people off on how to handle students without necessarily breaking them and destroying their future.

The Swedish parliament just passed a bill that allows the Swedish military to monitor any communications over the net of anyone without a court order. It also allows building up maps of interrelationships using traffic info without any court order. It kind of beats anything the US administration did even at its worst. Except it’s [...]

Medical technology is evolving and one particular area where a lot is happening is in robotic surgery. By moving the surgeon a couple of feet away from the operating table and into a comfy chair, we accomplish a few goals: relaxed surgeon, better view using keyhole techniques, filtering of movements, etc. But it’s only a [...]
