BP has come up with a new process (they call it Mono2) that increases efficiency in the same footprint and cost as previous silicon panels… mid 2007, eh? That’s something to shoot for.

I’m going to have to try out dar sometime in the future. The author gives good reasoning behind the think-first perspective of his article. When I read the intro, I thought I was doomed for what I do. Apparently I’m OK but not great… so one more area where I can improve…

zombie PCs get harder to track
In an interesting move that I’m surprised took this long, botnet masters are moving their zombie communications channels to HTTP instead of IRC. The unfortunate part of this is that now I have to get even more rigorous on what URLs will be allowed through the firewall/proxies I maintain and it will probably impact people. Blocking IRC was easier… oh well, the good old days never last.

All those ‘preapproved’ notes? They’re supposed to quit arriving after you tell people to quit looking at your credit report unless you tell them to… by signing up at optoutprescreen.com or calling 888-567-8688.
I hope it works…

An interesting article that addresses the different perils of multiple simultaneous processes and how to work around them, without programmer agonies.
I use this log to track articles I find interesting and useful, but I don’t think it is the best way to share knowledge. The tagging phenomenon is interesting, though I still don’t have a good way to leverage it without it being a lot of work. IBM is looking into ways to share knowledge in groups through social bookmarking within a business, and I think that could be really useful… now I just need to be a part of a business who will agree that it could be useful.
