Twice the bits, twice the trouble: vulnerabilities induced by migrating to 64-bit platforms | the morning paper edit / delete
"In this study, Wressnegger et al. reveal how a codebase originally written for 32-bit, and which is perfectly secure on 32-bit platforms, can have new vulnerabilities simply by compiling it for 64-bit systems." No surprises for anyone who follows oss-security etc., but the paper's a good overview.

A Cyberpunk Manifesto - Revised | Neon Dystopia edit / delete
"The original translation of Kirtchev’s A Cyberpunk Manifesto, now 20 years old and translated from Bulgarian, is not exactly known for its perfect English." Although if you're filing this under "fashion/lifestyle" then I think you're kind of missing the point...

"Es is an extensible shell. The language was derived from the Plan 9 shell, rc, and was influenced by functional programming languages, such as Scheme, and the Tcl embeddable programming language." Meets some of the design criteria I'm interested in, although overall I don't find the design that compelling.

From the Trenches | Ideas | CBC Radio edit / delete
"PhD students spend years hunting for answers to the world's unanswered questions. They usually toil away in obscurity.... until now! Producers Tom Howell and Nicola Luksic shine a light on these emerging thinkers and their work." What a great idea for a radio programme!
Account of the Skerryvore lighthouse - Stevenson, Alan edit / delete
Having recently read "The Lighthouse Stevensons", here's Alan Stevenson's book. Well worth flipping through -- even if just for the diagrams!

Kit Rae: Guitars and Gear edit / delete
Lots of guitar-related stuff, but particularly interesting for the detailed history of the Big Muff Pi fuzz pedals -- with discussion of all the different models, circuit differences, etc. -- and Tangerine Dream's film score for "The Keep". A substantial time sink.

Tone From Heaven edit / delete
"The purpose of this site is to convey the general feeling of the effects used by David Gilmour and to explain as best I can what they are used for and where." Includes interviews with Pete Cornish (pedalboards) and BK Butler (of Butler Tube Driver fame).
