I think that I am protected from the PHP XML-RPC vulnerability discovered by Secunia. However, the team at b2evolution have made only a cursory attempt to explain what is happening.
I have updated the xmlrpc.php file on my serv to the latest CVS version and also updated the PHP XML-RPC library in PEAR.
Looking forward to a clearer posting on why b2evolution is NOT vulnerable to this type of attack.

I guess that Tim (Dead Hockey Player) Horton’s Doughnuts is making an incursion into the US market. This out to be interesting. Last time something like this happened, Washington was burned.
Actually, I know that other Canadian retailers (most notably Canadian Tire) have tried to move south, only to be beaten back at the border. My suggestion to THD is to emphasize the higher quality food, and downplay the founder’s tragic demise.
More on Tim Horton.

Technorati: Stan Rogers,
As I discussed in this post, iTunes 4.9 was starting to cause some serious bandwidth issues for podcasters.
Geek News Central reports that iTunes appears to be be pulling some podcasts from a centralized cache server. [here]
This post also states that Apple has not told anyone that this is the case, let alone informing podcasters about the infrastructure they have put in place to distribute this cached content.
Once again, Apple has wandered into the Web 2.0 arena with pre-Internet marketing ideas. I guess eventually they will learn.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the source of the GNC story was the Dailysonic, which has an extensive technical write-up on what they found. [here]

It’s been nearly two years since I was home in Victoria.
It’s been nearly 4 years since I saw Banff, Yoho, and Glacier National Parks.
I am very homesick today. The US feels less and less like home.
And looking at the MEC catalogue didn’t help.
We need to get home. Soon. Permanently.

I got 19/20 on the CBC Canada Day Quiz!
Have fun!
Happy Canada Day from here at the Consulate in Marlborough, MA!
Hope you aren’t on a BC Ferry!

Tried to set up Verizon DSL last night. Didn’t work; rotating IP addresses; a variety of line related issues. Cancelled the service this morning.
Sorry for any interruptions you may have encountered last night.
