Interview
This weeks interview with David Wheeler, the president of Kineticode and lead developer of Bricolage project. Quite a few linkable items were mentioned in the interview… the one that I’m putting here is for Krang, the CMS system that David said was similar to Bricolage.

Phalanx
Kees Cook was kind enough to provide a talk about Device-SerialPort, which he is currently maintaining.

Lest we not forget that you shouldn’t use Crypt-DES, but should instead turn to Crypt-Rijndael. You have be warned.
