LiveJournal Needs To Tighten Security
Hmm... as part of my ongoing work with Abnib v3.0, I've noticed a couple of interesting little quirks in the way that LiveJournal handles security for "friends only" and "private" posts. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've found a way to - for any given user - produce a list of the times, dates, and …

Abnib v3.0, First Release
Well, I've completed the first release of Abnib v3.0. It's not quite as full-featured as I'd have liked, yet, but a lot of the new "core" functionality is there. I hope you'll all agree that it's been worth the wait. And, if you're reading this on Abnib... Hello there!

Another Odd Couple
Remember a few years back an unlikely couple got together? Well, an even stranger pairing just occured down here in Aberystwyth. I ought not to say who it is, but the bottom line of this LiveJournal post will say it all for those who can read it.
In other news, the Nintendo GameCube that Claire bought … -
Penguins And Parachutes And Bears, Oh My!
I had a particularly strange dream last night. I'll relate:

Extended Geek Night As “Birthday Party”
Yay. Woo. I'm 25. Etc. Quarter of a century old. [Insert meaningful speech here.] Ahem. Thanks to all of you who came to Troma Night yesterday and saw my birthday arrive; and in particular to those of you who brought me alcohol. Bonus.
As I seem to have been given at least two (three if you …
