Bitten by an SQL injection

2008-05-14T13:14:36Z

One of our clients had a bunch of data corrupted by an SQL injection worm a few days ago. The worm updated all NTEXT, TEXT, NVARCHAR and VARCHAR columns, adding script tags to the existing data. I whipped together these procedures to aid our reco...

A One-Way, One-Person Mission to Mars

2008-03-08T18:17:09Z

Nancy Atkinson at Universe Today writes about a good idea by a man called Jim McLane – send one man or woman to Mars, just to stir things up a little and get some science done. I like the idea. Read the story. However, there's one disturbing deta...

The Progressive's Handbook – Get the Facts and Make a Difference Now

2008-01-27T14:57:42Z

I joined a Facebook group the other day called "I bet I can find 1,000,000 people who dislike George Bush!", and apparently they feel confident that they've succeeded – celebration has already commenced, part of which is a free download of the boo...

The God Delusion

2007-11-11T21:40:48Z

I'm currently reading Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion, and it is fantastic. I just have to share this paragraph with you: To be fair, much of the bible is not systematically evil but just plain weird, as you would expect of a chaotically cobble...

Personality and IQ tests

2007-07-24T12:47:48Z

I like taking personality and IQ tests. It's enlightening to get some kind of external indication regarding how your mind works, and it's nice to find out that you're almost as smart as you think you are. The following results are from rather dry ...

The Bush family, 9/11, Skull and Bones etc

2007-03-24T22:12:08Z

We all know that George W. Bush is stupid, in the most basic sense of the word. We all know that Fox News is a parody on journalism and a propaganda tool for the GOP. These are obvious facts, just like the fact that there is a secret society calle...

Jelly Belly and Skittles

2007-02-24T18:20:01Z

There are two things missing in Swedish candy culture: Jelly Belly and Skittles. I'm hooked on Jelly Belly. Cany in Sweden is very dull. Everything is a variation on a single theme: colored gelatin. Of course, that goes for anything that isn't cho...

Go Britney!

She's an ignorant hillbilly, a worthless singer and not even remotely good-looking, but at least now she's entertaining. Go Britney!

Mighty Mistake

2007-02-09T13:21:28Z

I just got the Mighty Mouse I ordered together with my MacBook (which is fantastic), and after only a few minutes of using it, I've come to the conclusion that it must be the worst mouse ever built. The precision is completely worthless, it's too ...

Encounter

2007-01-20T15:22:46Z

I just listened to this track I made ~7 years ago, and I still find it really good. I've not been overly productive in the years since then, although I'm trying to get some stuff done (visit olaglig.info for a bunch of relatively fresh tracks). I...
