Skip to main content. BrowserID session API support for Drupal. Late last week, Mozilla’s Identity team made available a Firefox extension for BrowserID. A new browser-oriented single-sign on mechanism. Click a button in your address bar and automagically login into a website. Along with it they made available a browser session API. That is, the browser can now keep track and show whether you’re logged in, logged out, etc, also displayed in your address bar. Drupal had a BrowserID module. Apply the patch,.

n900 arrival and notes.

http://pwnguin.net/n900-arrival-and-notes.html

N900 arrival and notes. Thu 10 December 2009. The phone arrived, and I'm recording a few notes on initial experiences, covering mail, the display, the browser, available apps, battery life. I think I've tried this UI before on some other system images. It's not bad, but the back button is form over function; when I want to go back one click it has to first cook up a scrollable picture history. With Fennec landing on the N900 first. I'd be remiss not to give it a go, if only for the Weave support. Apparen...

In like a lion, out like a Wildcat!

http://pwnguin.net/in-like-a-lion-out-like-a-wildcat.html

In like a lion, out like a Wildcat! Fri 30 March 2012. March has been a month of great change for K-State. Frank Martin left for the east coast, in a departure you might have heard about at the water cooler. What you probably didn't hear, is that I left in the opposite direction for a new position with the Open Source Lab. Today ends my first week with the Lab, and it's quite a rush. The role I'm taking on with the OSU Open Source Lab. But for now, I think it's time to enjoy the weekend.

2011 Goal Review and 2012 Goals

http://pwnguin.net/2011-goal-review-and-2012-goals.html

2011 Goal Review and 2012 Goals. Mon 02 January 2012. In January I published five goals:. Learn and practice SEO techniques. Explore website revenue and analysis. Reinvigorate K-SLUG student participation. Impress folks by being great at my new job. Write down tasks to improve productivity and quality of life. Arguably I accomplished 4 of them. Obviously this isn't 5 for 5, and the main reason is that I spent more time. Be awesome at my new role. Finish catching up on my backlog of games and podcasts.

PuppetConf 2012

http://pwnguin.net/puppetconf-2012.html

Sun 30 September 2012. Recovered from the post-con crash a while ago, so it's time to write up some thoughts. Last week I attended PuppetConf with my coworkers at the OSL. The OSL attended PuppetConf primarily as a pre-deployment information gathering exercise. We want to avoid common pitfalls, and be able to plan for things coming down the pipeline. Puppet 3.0 was targetted to be released on Friday and clearly that slipped. Another problem we've been worrying about at the OSL is updating 3rd party confi...

Open Source Bridge Wrapup

http://pwnguin.net/open-source-bridge-wrapup.html

Open Source Bridge Wrapup. Sun 01 July 2012. Friday marked the end of Open Source Bridge. Just about the best introduction to Portland culture as you can find. Vegan lunches, Voodoo Donut catering, lunch truck friday, and rock and roll pipe organists in the Unitarian's sanctuary. Probably the most useful talk I attended was Laura Thompson's presentation on Mozilla's Crash Reporting service. The "after party" on Thursday was nice. Lance won the 2012 Outsanding Open Source Citizen award.

Mid 2011 Update

http://pwnguin.net/mid-2011-update.html

Sun 31 July 2011. Over halfway through 2011, so it's time to revisit my goals again. I really should post more often. Pwnguin.net consistently gets more than a thousand hits a month. That's enough that I can start adding A/B experiments on the most popular pages. I've added some ads to blog posts to see if anything there gets unusually good revenue. Still haven't published that bit on using grep to solve NPR's Sunday puzzles. But someone did admit to doing so on air! Not much done here. Right now we ...

Rule Zero of FinOpsDev. Wed 16 March 2016. I'm working on a personal finance project codenamed FinOpsDev (rebranding suggestions welcome), aiming to reduce drudgery to near zero with automation, and exploit the increased velocity to run automated tasks more often, etc. Like DevOps for your checkbook. Or like Continous Accounting. I'm not ready to announce any useful tools as a result of my tinkering quite yet. Instead, I want to reflect upon an old quote:. LCA 2014 Videos of Note.

Never Ask For Passwords

http://pwnguin.net/never-ask-for-passwords.html

Never Ask For Passwords. Tue 25 October 2011. Once again, it's demonstrated that sitting around a table drafting policy fails the common sense test. Chronicle of Higher Education. Reports that Sam Houson State University decided to ask all members of their social media portal for username and passwords. Their published policy. Still does. My favorite part:. Do not share login and password information with unauthorized individuals. Most social media sites support OAuth. Proudly powered by pelican.
