Looks like another potential tool for the bag of tricks.
Onion Routing. Ever wanted, or needed, to surf the Web anonymously? Intelligence officers have this need, but so do others. Anonymizing proxies can make it so that the site you visit doesn’t know who you are, but they don’t protect you from instream eavesdroppers or your [...]
The corollary here is that the harder something is to get at or repair, the more likely that it will fail at an inopportune moment.

Nick is absolutely right. Thank you “Dave” for all you’ve done to make weblogs and syndication part of my information world.
Syndication and Aggregation
Five years ago today, Dave Winer wrote about syndication and aggregation. Dave, thanks for all you efforts to promote weblogs and syndication - you’ve helped open a lot of possibilities for a lot [...]
Do it. Do it now. It took me about 2 minutes on a sloow dial-up connection.
Security Fix for Internet Explorer.
An official Microsoft security fix for IE has been posted. Channel 9 has a link to it, details about it (and a place to have a conversation about it).

This is a classic and largely familiar story of user center designed from the field of architecture.

LazyWeb request: RSS readership tracking. Can someone please build what Brian Peddle describes here: a tool for generating stats of RSS syndication feed readership?

I’ve been an advocate of RSS and the less recognized value of the aggregator side of the blogging world for some time. There have been a whole series of recent examples of RSS applications worth noting. I thought I’d pull together a niumber of the items gracing my aggregator on the topic.

For future reference: July 2003 shows continued emergence of weblogs as mainstream content platform.
There’s been a wash of articles this month that appear to solidify weblogs as a solid online content platform for politics, business and public information. This continued level of acceptance will hopefully enable more conservative institutions (like courts) to embrace the platform [...]
