“Why is this message in Spam? We’ve found that lots of messages from schneier@schneier.com are spam”
Somehow I find this both ironic and hilarious. Doubtless there are rational explanations involving fake “From:” addresses.

Apparently my blog is parental-controlled / filtered / censored content on the O2 Mobile network # HT @ramtopsrac @drbexl
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, in one sense – for instance I occasionally have the temerity to mention words like “sex” and “porn” in a unprudish and often positive manner; also I have a history of being blocked as a hacking website which is deeply silly since it implies the censors can’t differentiate between…

lolcommits: Takes a snapshot with your webcam every time you commit code # requires port to Subversion for @surevine deployment
git + webcam = lol Takes a snapshot with your Mac’s built-in iSight/FaceTime webcam (or any working webcam on Linux) every time you git commit code, and archives a lolcat style image with it. By default, the lolimages are stored by a Github style short SHA in a ~/.lolcommits directory created for you. via mroth/lolcommits…

So Judge Alsup – the Oracle/Google Java/Android Judge – is a coder?
Judge: We heard the testimony of Mr. Bloch. I couldn’t have told you the first thing about Java before this problem. I have done, and still do, a significant amount of programming in other languages. I’ve written blocks of code like rangeCheck a hundred times before. I could do it, you could do it. The…

The day that my Father gatecrashed the Pope: 5 June 1944
My childhood was filled with stories and the excellent thing about that was that they were all utterly bonkers and quite true: My father’s losing his lower lip to a swinging tank-barrel and having it reconstructed with a graft from his bottom, so he was always talking out of his arse.
