Listening to This American Life episodes 365 and 366 about the financial meltdown. Still working on the first one, but so far it’s great. I highly recommend them if you have any interest in our current financial situation.

Update: Listening to 366 right now. Only acts 2 and 4 cover the economy.

I don’t have to subscribe to bugtraq to know when phpMyAdmin has a security issue. I just watch my logs:

/MYADMIN/main.php: 1 Time(s)
/MyAdmin/main.php: 1 Time(s)
/PHPMYADMIN/main.php: 1 Time(s)
/PHPmyadmin/main.php: 1 Time(s)

No doubt it’s a handy tool, but do yourself a favor and slap an htaccess file on that sucker if you use it.
