This article titled Open-source projects get free checkup by automated tools, by Security Focus, is very informative in a number of ways.

It also raises a couple of points that have become more visible to me over the last while, where I have been learning an enourmous amount through work and my interests leading me through various paths.

An interesting time with plenty of ideas and thoughts, and I hope to come back to this posts with some of those ideas and thoughts.

Some nice posters here, makes you want to go rent those films (if they are still available…)

Should anyone ever have the need to disguise their dog into a poodle well, this is the place attackchi.org.au.

Rather amusing, has to be said, and some great images too

Very interesting concept, and a fairly big challenge by the look of it, will be interesting to follow the development.

Another point that this article has raised, and that has been niggling at the back of my mind for some time, is the actual power consumption of computing in general, and the effect that it may have in environmental settings. Beyond the actual power consumption of all our electronic gadgetry and computing needs, what about the endless cycle of updating the latest and shinniest hardware and gadgets?

What happens to all the old equipment, the stuff that does not get recycled, and what about the actual production process of all the hardware? Are we really conscious of all that is involved in developing and producing say a new mp3 player, a new flat screen monitor, or even a batch of CD-R’s…?

Makes me wonder at times… But yeah, anything that can cut down on the power consumption needed, has the thumbs up from me.
