This subject came to my attention recently following a few tweets from Dierk Kรถnig around this — see this tweet for instance.

Just a Thought: Tutorials and Twitter
This has come to my attention after looking at a few tutorials on various frameworks and technologies over the last 2-3 weeks or so. (As you might have learned, us, developers, look at “stuff” like this on a daily basis — since it’s still us, developers, who keep inventing new such “stuff” ๐ ) Anyhoo […]
Implications of Blocking 3rd Party Cookies?

I know a few groups in the industry are working on various approaches but I’m constantly being followed by one idea which […]
Online Privacy and Blocking 3rd Party Cookies

About Life, Universe and Everything…Including Recruiting!
OK, if you never read Douglas Adams‘ work, then the above title might read odd for you — to say the least! On the other hand though, if “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” is familiar to you then you gathered by now where I’m coming from. (And even if you don’t, read on — […]
(Very Very Simple) Bash Script to Delete Old Log Files
So here’s the deal: you have an application running on a Linux box which generates log files. And these files keep mounting up and grow and grow and grow in both number and size and you have start considering cleaning up old logs which you don’t use anymore. I know about logrotate, it’s an awesome […]
