There’s a dedicated iPhone app for Wordpress blogs now. Except that it doesn’t work out the box. I’m very impressed otherwise, though. As mentioned by @mattb, it’s a pity that it doesn’t let you moderate comments as well. But the ease with which I can take a photo and get it onto a wordpress blog is impressive.
Twittervision on the iPhone

I tried Twittervision on the iPhone. And it’s quite pretty, in a hypnotic way. So I gave it my twitter username/password, to try it as a twittering interface. And it’s lousy. But ok, I have a twittering interface. I delete the app.
Today, I see a tweet from @davetroy. Who? I don’t know him. Turns out that he wrote Twittervision. And now I’m following him. Which means that (a) his app must have followed him on my behalf, because I didn’t do it, and (b) he can now see all my private tweets (because my twitterstream isn’t public).
Well, fuck you, Mr Dave Troy.

The windows world just found that plugging a FW device in gives full raw access to a target’s memory. This isn’t a surprise if you saw this attack (on the mac) in 2002. It is a surprise to find that MacOS protects against it if you have an OF password.

I foresee much confusion over the next week. Is this a Firefox bug or an Internet Explorer bug? You need to have them both installed to see it..

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is the exact same class of hole that the Safari for Windows beta had a few weeks ago - a protocol handler allowing arbitrary command line execution. Think it’ll get as much press?

Magic django middleware to stop pages on other sites submitting forms on your site. No effort on my part needed. Very clever - must steal it.
