Emu Music Online Store

Have been getting emails about Emu Music's online store, but I've only recently checked it out. Seems that all their albums are available online, making it far easier to get our hands on a copy now (short of waiting for it to be "imported" into Singapore) =)

.NET: ILMerge

For .NET developers: ILMerge takes multiple .NET assemblies and merges them into a single .NET assembly. Might come in handy sometime in the future.

The Raw Feed: New Hacker Tool Hijacks Google to Find Passwords

From the Raw Feed

I'm going to check out this tool's innards man. Goolag Scan was made by the same guys (Cult of the Dead Cow) who made Back Orifice sometime back.

[Update] The scanner makes use of Johnny Long's Google Hacking Database to create search queries in Google using google dorks. Very nice tool, sort of like CAL9000 using RSnake's XSS cheat sheet XML file.

No Tech Hacking book released

Johnny Long's No Tech Hacking book has been released!

It's interesting to see how "hackers" can make use of everyday situations and objects to perform an attack on a "system", without the high tech gadgetry. If James Bond reads this, maybe Q will be out of a job =D yeah right.

In any case, will try to buy/borrow/beg for one when it becomes available.

A sample chapter can be found here.

Enso is free

For the uninitiated, Enso has two products: Enso Launcher (similar to Launchy) and Enso Words (universal spellchecker)

I use Launchy a lot now, but have yet to compare this with Enso Launcher. Another time perhaps =P

VMware Server

For those who use VMware player for any reason, VMware Server is available for free. I don't know how long it is going to remain free, but it's certainly better to use (more configuration options available, though making it more complicated) if you are trying out a few virtual machines.

Google's Experimental Searches

Google has some experimental modes for your google search results page. Pretty interesting! Stuff like alternate views, keyword suggestions (Google suggest), keyboard shortcuts, left-hand search navigation and right-hand contextual search navigation.

I quite like the alternate views one, partially because I'm a data visualization junkie, and also I do my searches from my Firefox search box anyway, so I already have suggestions popping out as I type.

What do you think?

Opera Mini 4

Just tried out the new Opera Mini 4 on my phone. Really really nice eh ;)

Lots of new features, but one worries me somewhat for now. This statement at first glance would get privacy advocates up in arms possibly. Maybe there's other policies in place to prevent intrusion of privacy, etc...?

Mini technology

Opera's mobile software uses a remote server to pre-process Web pages before sending them to your phone. Web content is compressed to reduce the size of data transfers, enabling fast browsing experience at low costs even on simpler phones.

Mini technology


Then again, it's not as if I'm going to use it to surf a lot.

There's also a simulator available for those who'd want to check it out on a browser.

Still alive and kicking

Haven't been writing much here lately, but rest assured that I'm still alive and kicking.

Have been encountering some integrity/ethical issues with some people at work. Can't expect this world to be entirely in sync on the right thing to do/attitudes, but the tough part will be on how we 1) carry out our task with integrity, and 2) let the people involved know that there's a limit to the things we will do. (more on this later when appropriate)

Think I need to do some more running/kicking too, maybe in jogging/running/running during ultimate frisbee, or in kicking soccer balls, not shins. Different groups of people, but for similar reasons I'd suppose...heh.
