Security is good, right, but when you can hear This station is closed due to a suspect package. Please evacuate immediately. it is pretty worrying.
That said, in the time it took me to go in the living room and open my blog, the police turned up sirens blaring, lights blazing. If you don’t hear from […]
I’m currently doing a lot of experimentation with WordPress in an effort to improve this site. I have also updated the feeds to use FeedBurner. So if you get any duplicate posts or other weirdness I can only apologise.
Thank you for your patience.

At Yahoo! we use Scrum as part of our development process. While I really like Scrum, what it means for me personally is that I have to write a daily report of what I have been working on counted to the half hour.
Since I like to do everything with Quicksilver I've written a custom action [...]
Someone wanted to humiliate Santa in the pound store. I guess they have a whole year to be good to make up for it now though.

In the post Christmas period while we are all loosening our belts you can reduce the size of those universal apps you've downloaded using Trim The Fat. Simply drag and drop universal binaries to remove the unwanted PPC/Intel part. I saved around a gigabyte, which is a pretty decent amount on my laptop.

Well, for a while I've been trying to prove that either it is, or isn't, possible to XSS a JSON return which is wrapped in { }.
While it is well known that it is possible to exploit the return of a JavaScript array, I've been trying to establish if it is also possible with generic [...]
Norm wrote a super perl script to ensure that when you open iCal files sent to a mailing lists it uses the correct to address. This avoids having to have all the mailing list addresses in your own card in your address book. However he did note that OS X doesn't allow you to set [...]

Ed at work has written a really awesome post on using PHP to version JavaScript and CSS files into a single versioned include. His post Automatic merging and versioning of CSS/JS files with PHP make this all really trivial. Nice one Ed!

Went to the Mashup* on advertising 2.0 last night. It was pretty interesting, although nothing ground breaking. Dave Burrows, Yahoo's head of Ad technology in Europe, gave a good talk on where we are and were we should be looking. It leaves me feeling better about advertising at work, because I actually trust Dave.
