Locality of reference in information security
December 19, 2007I’ve been kicking this idea around in my head for the last couple of days, trying to decide what to write… Return with me, for a moment, back to the computational hardware class you took in college (if you did take one, don’t worry if you didn’t). Do you remember discussing program/memory flow? How about […]

A completely useless but fun-to-write program for checking webpage existence

In the article they discuss DNS servers […]

Aegrescit medendo (Cell phones)
December 4, 2007My wife and I don’t have cell phones. At all. You’d think that given my profession and people our age these days, that we would both have cells phones with some kind of super minute plan. You know what the worst part of it is? We used to have cell phones until we cancelled them […]
