    Credit Cards and Jabber: My hosting company’s blog has an article on credit card processing and how useless CSC/CSV codes really are for credit card security. On the same blog is a prediction involving the future of Instant Messaging technology based on Google’s choice to adopt the Jabber protocol for Google Talk. The VoIP standard SIP makes an appearance also.

    Blog Posting Tools: I’ve been using a program called “Drivel” for posting to this blog for a couple weeks now. It is a nice simple GNOME based program with spell checking and the ability to edit already posted articles. Involves significantly fewer clicks than using the web based interface that is part of WordPress.

    Mindless Humor: Yep, its the ol’ profanity “hidden” on the T-shirt trick. Of course I find CBS’s horrible programming more insulting than any profanity found on a shirt…

    Music: After not listening it for a few weeks after playing it a few dozen times in a row I was reminded how fucking awesome Nightwish’s Once album is.
