Musings on Randomness

By john On 16 April 2012 · Leave a Comment

So it’s been another long while since I last posted but I thought I would dust off the blog (I promise to blog more frequently, honest!!)
I read today, on El Reg, that the Australian National University has just put a feed of their random number generator (link). The fantastically clever bit is that it [...]

TNEF ARGH! Or how TNEF breaks automatic processing of emails

By john On 28 February 2012 · Leave a Comment

So it’s been a while since I last posted, sorry about that, but I just came across an issue that I really wanted to cover because it might well help a few people are struggling with a similar issue.

More Photosynth wonderfulness

By john On 9 February 2012 · 2 Comments

Just back from another trip, ish as I was back a week ago), and I still think Photosynth is an incredible piece of tech!

I took this at the top of a reasonably large hill, mountain maybe (probably not), after driving around in a  Citroen C4 which is the most inappropriate car on the planet to [...]

Printer Hacking: An expected, though unexpected, threat

By john On 10 January 2012 · Leave a Comment

Who would have thought that printers would be a practical threat vector?  I didn’t until it was pointed out to me, at which point palm meets forehead because it is unbelievably obvious!!  Every single office I’ve ever worked in has MFPs, Multi Function Printers, which allow you to scan, email, fax, photocopy and even print.

Blocking Ads in IE9

By john On 9 January 2012 · Leave a Comment

I find adverts on websites annoying, really, really annoying (which is why they’re not on this site).  I use IE exclusively in the office and I thought it made sense to block it, so that when I’m reading Ars Technica or El Reg my eyes stop bleeding.  I found a great article that explains how [...]

The Grinch

Merry Christmas and all that…

By john On 23 December 2011 · Leave a Comment

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What [...]
