Blippy takes a header
Wait a minute- you mean Blippy doesn’t already have someone who “focus(es) solely on issues relating to information security” A perfectly reasonable question might be: what are they focusing on?
Unforgivable.
Moving forward…
I’m happy to say that I have accepted a new position at Pivotal Labs.
I’m looking forward to absorbing new knowledge like a sponge, from the extraordinarily bright crew over there, as well as getting my ping pong game back into shape- actual table shown below, in non-actual size.
Um, excuse me?
Opera Mini decrypts SSL at their site, then forwards it on to your mobile handset. Excuse me?
The only reason I can imagine that this isn’t the biggest security uproar in recent memory is that the Opera Mini market share isn’t big enough to have caught anyone’s attention yet.
Did you get that, world? If you use Opera Mini, they are decrypting your traffic in their own, private network, “adding value” to it by reformatting, then forwarding it on to you. It’s a purpose-built man-in-the-middle attack, for fuck’s sake.
Let’s get sorta unique
Behold, I have released a new gem. Meet SUID- the sorta unique ID.
Reset with the best of them
One of my favorite designers, Chris Boone, has released his own, hand-tuned cross-browser reset stylesheets to the world. Check out the blog post, or just go directly to his GitHub for the files.
