Frozen Food Review: Michelina's Budget Gourmet Classics Pasta & Chicken

Today I made the decision to stop ordering take-out, and stock up on frozen/instant food to save some money instead of dropping it all on take-out food that ends up all tasting the same anyways. In this light, I've decided that I'll also review the frozen foods that I choose to consume so that other programmer types who have no time to deal with the hassle of cooking (yes, I know how to cook) can make educated decisions on what frozen foods to eat/avoid.

The first meal in this review is a Pasta and Chicken dish from Michelina's, from the "Budget Gourmet Classics" series.

Text of Mantasano's Article on Detais of Kaminsky's DNS Attack

Unless you've been living under a rock today, I'm sure you've been hearing about the Matasano blog leak of the details of Kaminsky's DNS attack. It was ripped off the site, and most other sites who've had it posted up have had it ripped down as well. I'm posting the story here in it's entirety, simply because it's interesting, and I think everyone has a right to know. Regardless, all of the vendors have released patches for this vuln already. If the ISPs haven't patched yet, it's on them, not Kaminsky, Matasano, ecopeland, or me for reposting it.

Enjoy.

How Software Companies Die by Orson Scott Card

The environment that nutures creative programmers kills management
and marketing types - and vice versa. Programming is the Great Game.
It consumes you, body and soul. When you're caught up in it, nothing
else matters. When you emerge into daylight, you might well discover
that you're a hundred pounds overweight, your underwear is older than
the average first grader, and judging from the number of pizza boxes
lying around, it must be spring already. But you don't care, because
your program runs, and the code is fast and clever and tight. You won.
You're aware that some people think you're a nerd. So what? They're
not players. They've never jousted with Windows or gone hand to hand
with DOS. To them C++ is a decent grade, almost a B - not a language.
They barely exist. Like soldiers or artists, you don't care about the
opinions of civilians. You're building something intricate and fine.
They'll never understand it.

Script Kitties

 I love reading my security logs that get e-mailed to my nightly. Apparently script kitties think that they can get into my server by launching 5 million SSH sessions with random usernames and passwords.So do I null-route them, or let the kitties play? Undecided.

Removed captcha, added mollom

So, I've decided to try out this mollom thing, created by Drupal's fearless leader, Dries.

We'll see how it works, it sounds cool and useful, in theory.
