ELER Censorship

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

PJ wanted to post the Ghost in the root shell ELER strip on Groklaw.net but a few of her readers were a bit shocked when they noticed that the robot ISN’T WEARING ANY CLOTHES.

After a brief discussion about the prevalence of android nudity and how the Groklaw audience are a bunch of prudes, I agreed to give the robot a bra. I really only agreed to this because 1) it’s just hilarious imagery, and 2) I got to browse lots of images of girlies in bras - an opportunity I don’t often get what with [INSERT TERRIBLE JIM DAVIDSON JOKE ABOUT HAVING AN AWFUL WIFE HERE].

Anyway, here is the strip with the robot sporting a bra.

Schneier Facts updated

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

I’ve rolled out a new version of the Schneier Facts software. It now supports fact searching, doesn’t use any cookies, fixes a voting bug and looks a bit different.

I’ve also approved a freaking boatload of suggested facts I seem to have been ignoring since August. Still lots more in the queue too, which I’ll approve over the next few days.

It’s the same code now used on the ESR Facts page. I plan on releasing the code so anyone can set up a similar project easily. Needs a bit of prep to be release ready though.
