I think this is not really widely known as of yet. At least I wasn’t really aware of it. Google, on Google Video has a nice collection of Tech Talks. Talks (on video) by people working on interesting software projects. Of course there are a number of Python talks from Guido van Rossum (who worksContinue reading “Google Tech Talks”

Talking Code: vraptor
I’ve been thinking for a while about doing some podcasting/netcasting again. After an e-mail I got from one of the vraptor guys I thought doing interviews with people involved with the development of programming languages and frameworks might be interesting. There are plenty of these that are not very well known but that people mightContinue reading “Talking Code: vraptor”
Digg to Support OpenID
TechCrunch: Kevin Rose, speaking here at the Future of Web Apps conference in London, just announced that Digg will adopt the OpenID decentralized digital identity platform. Don’t expect this right away though — adoption will begin “later this year” according to Rose. This is great news. OpenID becomes more and more of a safe bet for singleContinue reading “Digg to Support OpenID”
Beatbox Fame Game
Ok, and now for something completely different. And quite amazing… Through Jeffrey.
Another Change in Direction
After studying English for half a year (with great results by the way) I know and realize that I really enjoy it, but that it is not my future. The question then becomes whether to finish (by studying another 3–4 years) or quit and do something more “compliant” with your future. After my girlfriend appliedContinue reading “Another Change in Direction”

Yesterday was Brad’s birthday, but today is when he really gets the best present: Microsoft is supporting OpenID. Brad postedContinue reading “Microsoft to Support OpenID”
Piping the New Web
The video I included below has been floating around on different weblogs in the past days. It is an almost inspirational video about the new web, or web 2.0 if you will. In just about 5 minutes it explains where we came from and where we’re heading. Have a look at it. https://www.youtube.com/v/6gmP4nk0EOE This morning,Continue reading “Piping the New Web”
Fighting Injection Attacks with StringBorg
Martin Bravenboer writes about a new way to fight code injection attacks. The most infamous example of this kind of attack is the SQL injection, which is caused by careless developers simply inserting a string from user input into their program, like this (PHP example): $results = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM users WHERE ” . “useridContinue reading “Fighting Injection Attacks with StringBorg”
Presently is Coming
Another secret Google project has been discovered. This time it is an online presentation tool (code named “Writely”). Nice. I imagine there are some applications for this, however I do wonder if people would (or should) actually use this during actual presentations. Would be a shame if all of a sudden some Google error appeared,Continue reading “Presently is Coming”
