I’ve been resurrecting a couple of older “sitelets” from my ancient website backups.

Make-URL lives again (and with its own domain)! I still have a bunch of “features” and checks to it, but it works. Mostly. Keep checking back.

I also brought back my little site dedicated to the progress of my design classes. I still like the overall look and feel. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s nice and uses a bit of PHP for the snazzy side menu, navigation, and setting the page titles. I’m just updating the content and doing a bit of housecleaning on it. I hope to at least have this one done before the end of the weekend. The Make-URL site will probably be several weeks before I consider it “finished.”

I keep wanting to follow that with “trix are for kids!”

But seriously. Michelle Madigan gives reporters a bad name. She can’t abide by the rules of a convention and get a press pass so that she can be on the up-and-up. Instead she went “undercover” to defcon and filmed convention-goers without their knowledge or consent in an attempt at a “shock” piece about hackers, or some such nonsense. Apparently she was trying to get attendees on video committing a crime or admitting to one – and perhaps even outing an undercover fed?!?

Needless to say, the hackers weren’t too happy – and neither were any of the members of the press who were there legitimately.
