  • Delicious data loss

    After many years, it looks like Delicious will never have support for excluding tags from a search, so when I saw that they had added a "Remove Tag" functionality I finally decided to get rid of all the "toread" tags from posts already tagged with "read".

    It's ridiculously simple:

  • Minecraft mine analysis - mian

    The mian wiki is now up! Updates will be put there for your convenience.

  • Stuxnet motives

    Which motives could there be for the Stuxnet virus' behavior? This is more of a list to remember, in case more evidence of the behavior surfaces later. Note that there's no mention of which motives I think are likely - I don't know enough about Stuxnet or the people behind it for that.
