Ensight Comments Leakage !!

Ensight leaked comments. It was crazy over 350 emails ntofications for comments to Jermey Blog posts !!

I  emailed Jermey on incident occurance :

"Your blog is leaking comments (as updates) for each and every one of
your comments...  I ahe over 150 emails from histroical blog posts..
Better check this out soon "

His response ; (pretty quick resolution at least !!)

"I know, I had to re-approve hundreds of old comments :( Sorry about that :( "

Oh well, what happened if this incident is the future,  in real world Blogsphere in the year 2025 when a site  has over 5 Million subs to a blog ??  would this be termed as DOS attacks on a network ?

BlogLines Sub's Lost !!

I lost all my Subscriptions from Bloglines. Any Ideas how this could happen ??

Scobles vs Regsiter

"Either Scoble was lying, or he wasn’t; either the Register was off the rails or it wasn’t. I’m not linking to the individual pieces, because this hasn’t anything to do with the Reg’s initial allegation. It’s about finding out who’s lying, and if there are any penalties for it."  sez Tim Bray

I belive in Scoble's . Give the Devil his due, I dunna why I like the bugger, but I do. Thats all that matters to me and thats why he gets the benifit of the doubt !!!

Crime Tracking

Incidentlog.com has added Boston to its coverage, once a week mapping police reports of crime onto Google Maps. It's easy to imagine this system being then integrated with more information about the crimes, presenting aggregated data in order to spot trends, etc.

Strider HoneyMonkey research project

Microsoft has officially lifted the wraps off its Strider HoneyMonkey research project, designed to trawl the dark side of the Internet looking for Web sites hosting malicious code.

Microsoft Corp. released a technical report, available here as a PDF, to introduce the concept of an Automated Web Patrol that uses multiple Windows XP machines, some unpatched and some fully updated, to streamline the process of finding zero-day Web-based exploits.

web superservices

Jim Moore,  "Consider the new web ecosystem.  Ecological succession continues in Internet and society. This is the direct analogue of ecological sucession in nature:  grasses and weeds giving way to connifers giving way to hardwood forests with mature canopies--continues in Internet and society.  Each new stage of succession brings with it new keystone species, linked togetether in new forms of relationships. "

Jim has some good thoughts on RSS here, here and here.

I see the 7 layers of an OSI architucture, as his thought stream in the "web superservices"  paradigm. 

V6 Engines

Why is the America's and most Enterprise's not taking on IPv6 strategies seriously ??

"China, India, Japan and South Korea all have advanced plans for making IPv6 their national standard"  - States InfoWeek

Without IPv6, there will form a digital divide of "haves and have nots". If the Americas don't adpot fast then they will lose out. We are already seeing that Asian countires grow by leaps and bounds in technology.

How old are you ?

Halley Suitt has a neat "how old are you ?" experience at TomPeter's blog.

I hope that she will will blog her decision point with that customer !!

Female orgasm is all in the genes

The findings suggest the failure of some women to orgasm regularly is not a dysfunction, but a sophisticated mate-selection strategy that evolved during prehistoric times.

Women who fail to orgasm during sex may be genetically programmed to weed out unreliable men who are a flop between the sheets, according to new research.
