An Internet notification platform that works on both Windows and Mac (including support for Growl). “Using Stitcho, your website can send real-time notifcations directly to a user’s desktop, even when their web browser is closed.”
I know I’m terribly late to the party with this but Cappuccino, an open source framework that makes it easy to build desktop-caliber applications that run in a web browser, looks pretty fscking awesome. I’m going to have to play with this.
This paper covers how DNS works: first at a high level, then by picking apart an individual packet exchange field by field. Next, we’ll use this knowledge to see how weaknesses in common implementations can lead to cache poisoning. [via]

Dear Lazyweb,
How do I configure the RSS feeds within WordPress so that I can have separate feeds for categories, comments, etc.?
I would like to have feeds for the Weblog entries, another for Asides and a combined feed (Weblog and Asides). At the moment subscribers get everything which is not always ideal since I tend to publish to Asides far more frequently than I do to the Weblog. Also I’d like to expand the site in future with a separate photoblog and perhaps other “channels”.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Updated 15th July, 2008: SOLVED - Manually added feed URIs to the theme file named “header.php” for “Weblog Only”, “Asides Only” and “Comments Only”.

Rui Carmo describes those mechanisms that browser authors really should have addressed by now. I agree with every single item.
A semi-automated, largely passive web application security audit tool, optimized for an accurate and sensitive detection, and automatic annotation, of potential problems and security-relevant design patterns based on the observation of existing, user-initiated traffic in complex web 2.0 environments.
