I love RSS – and so should you

You know, we’d be lying if we said we didn’t care if people read our blogs or not. If that were the case, we wouldn’t be wasting our time getting in front of our machines, surfing to our sites and posting entries riddled with other crap, like hyperlinks such as this (which doesn’t go anywhere by the way) and formatting some words a certain way.

Doing these things takes time… considerably more time than if we had just written our thoughts on a piece of paper (or a notebook if it makes you feel better).

A fun hacking site

I came across this site – which tests someone’s l33t h4x0r1n6 skillz.

Well actually real hacking isn’t as simple (and neither am I saying that the site is a piece of cake – I gave up on level 15, with no intention to finish it anytime soon). But the site is good practice for the eye and mind, as it makes you think of the common simple solutions to sometimes complex-seeming problems.

Think if it as an IQ quiz, as it doesn’t measure how well versed you are with programming languages, but simply tests your skills on analysis.
