Is this a security exploit / good enough for bug bounty?
Remember I posted about account access? This is the long story of how that came about. Picture the scene – You have an old email address you rarely use. It gets the occasional email which is clearly meant for someone else. Mostly Jacquline Lawson eCards or random newsletter signups. I saw the “1” in red…

Timehop – Underground
Timehop really does hit you sometimes with some memories. Today it was that time I got so drunk at Underground I blacked out and I ended up literally hugging the snow. That wasn’t fun.

Tracking TV Watching – an update
Thanks to my friend & coworker Bryan, he let me know in a comment on my previous post, what I’m looking for is Trakt.tv. I had read through Jer’s post 2018 in TV Shows and thought it was wonderful – even using the “small” screen and WordPress.com Reader interface rather than a direct blog post. In…

I’m being intentionally vague now since I’ve responsibly disclosed it to the company and they’re going to work on it. They’ve let me know I can publish a post when it’s fixed. If I find a security hole…

Porridge explosion
As I was nearing the end of my 7-10 live chat, the kids came into my office. “The porridge went all over the microwave. I thought it said put in for one minute then another minute. Not one minute then sit for a minute” admits Hannah. “It’s everywhere!” says the littlest one. “Okay, I’m working…

Luther, & tracking TV watching
Just started watching the new series of Luther. Pretty intense stuff but I love it. It reminded me that I don’t know of an elegant solution to track this sort of thing, any tips? I mentioned before that I’m going to use Goodreads for books and Letterboxd for movies but I don’t have a solution…
