Tip of the Day
When possible, prefer using multiple dependent targets within the same project over multiple dependent projects. There's less overhead and builds should be faster. All the targets logically included in specific product should belong to that product's main project file; this makes things like project-wide searching more useful.

Crypto
Have done a lot of crypto work this week: code signing, code encryption, tools for quickly generating keys and salts. Good stuff. Wish I could say more but I like a nice layer of security through obscurity (STO) over my cryptographically strong foundation. STO sucks when it's your only source of security; when it's just one layer of many it's not actually such a bad thing.

Bugzilla 2.20.1
Upgraded my Bugzilla install to 2.20.1. This software just gets better and better, although it bugs me that every time you run checksetup.pl it changes the access permissions on your files and you have to manually reset them so that your install will play nicely with Apache's suEXEC.

CPAN upgrades
I was just upgrading some Perl CPAN modules. If you had trouble access the Bugzilla install while I was doing that sorry for the inconvenience (you may have seen some Internal Server Errors and some Forbidden responses). I'm all done now and everything should be working fine.

Z800i
I really want one of these... the fast, slick UI seems to cure most of my gripes with Sony Ericsson's demented T610 and Z600 designs (two phones I've had the misfortune of owning). The only problem is the phone costs almost 500€.

mod_rewrite
Just spent an hour banging my head up against mod_rewrite (trying to get multiple rewrite rules defined at various levels of specificity — in overlapping VirtualHost, Directory, Location scopes — to play nicely with each other). I emerge from the battle victorious but with a headache. And hating mod_rewrite.

Wrote wrappers for malloc() et al which allow me to simulate out-of-memory errors during testing.
