Scott Bellware blogs about Borland presentation in Austin 


"Chris Patterson from Borland gave a presentation at the Austin .NET User Group last night. I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed."

"I’m simply blown away with how much value Borland is delivering with this release."

"Thanks Borland! You guys really get it!"

Scott's blog (a must read)

Thanks for having us, Scott!

Don't talk to strangers 


Cell phone virus? Yep, the first one is out. At least it won't spread to far, only about 30 feet at a time. To get infected you have to have a cell phone running the Symbian OS and have BlueTooth on, and be foolish enough to accept an incoming transmission that you didn't initiate. Noone would ever do that, right?

CRN article

My own speculation goes like this... When these things get really intelligent they'll be infecting your camera phones over the cell networks and be keeping an eye on everything through your own lens. Talk about Big Brother...

One more spammer down 


"Head has shut down his operation, called Gold Disk Canada, and become a drummer in a rock band."

Well, at least I won't hear his noise...

A picture is worth more than a billion words 




A little background: A buddy of Loren Hudziak's (a Borland employee) is a Navy pilot and was flying Tomcats off the Constellation when it was in the Gulf. Loren sent him a care package, and in it was one of the Made in Borland stickers. This is what he sent back. Just an FYI, though: That's not a Tomcat. It's the new F-18A Super Hornet. Be sure to click on the image for the full impressive view.

The Black Widow 


Found an excellent specimen of the female Black Widow today. Big one too - about 1.5 inches long. The bastard was hiding right under my hot tub lid.

Not having had any experience with spiders I took a moment to figure out how to kill it for sure, without having it run away and hide. These things are apparently shy, and since it was now hiding tucked underneath the lid, I decided to go with a tool that happened to be handy - my long lighter for the BBQ. Perfect long flame grilling the poor sap. Bad spider, no donut.

Toasted Black Widow anyone? ;-)

Welcome Deepak! 


Deepak Shenoy

Uncrackable, eh? 


If there's a key, there's a crack. It may take forever, but sometimes you get lucky...

Chad's post reminds me of a friend of mine. Super expensive computer equipment at this company. State of the art security to get in through the door.

Just one problem... Computer rooms like these are raised off the floor, with a crawl space underneath. The floor is made out of a bunch of tiles - some of them loose.

Fundamentals of cracking puzzles... ;-)
