Bookmarks for September 5th through September 9th

  • The TWiT Netcast Network with Leo Laporte – FLOSS Weekly – Podcast by Leo Laporte where he and his partner interview open source authors and companies. I've found this podcast extremely informative.
  • Suspekt… » Blog Archive » MySQL and SQL Column Truncation Vulnerabilities – "While SQL-Injection is one of the most discussed security problems in web applications other possible problems for SQL queries like overlong input are usually ignored although they can lead to all kinds of security problems."
  • Yammer Launches at TC50: Twitter For Companies – Announced at TechCrunch 5.0, we now have Twitter for Companies in a product called Yammer, which limits all visibility to your email domain.
  • Access GitHub repositories from work (take that, firewall!) – Using GitHub almost requires the use of ssh to access repositories securely. It is absolutely required to update repositories. Unfortunately, that can run afoul of the “IT overlords” in many corporate environments. At my workplace, a Microsoft ISA authenticating web proxy server is in place, restricting most outbound traffic. Specifically, port 22, the ssh port, is not allowed and that means I can’t pull or push to my repositories on GitHub.
