Secret Santa 2003 is launched...
11/12/2003 01:19 PMSo Secret Santa
2003 has launched. For those of you who are newbies, the point
remains the same - you give us details of your site and your wishlist
and then on December the 10th we send them out to another person
elsewhere on the web who buys you a present. You get someone else's
details and buy them a present. Everyone gets a present! Everyone's
happy!
This is Santa's third year, and Cal, Denise an I are back to
serving just the weblogging / personal publishing community. It's only
right and proper given that's the community that we're part of and
care most about. And Secret Santa has generally been a tremendous
success. Over the last two years over 1,000 presents were sent
out to people, promoting peace love and general loveliness all over
the world - from Japan to Germany!
This year the one most obvious difference is that I've rewritten
the copy so that the vast majority of it is now in bad poetry. I'd
like to apologise to you all for this straightaway, particularly to
the UI, usability and editorial professionals out there who probably
won't appreciate how hard it is to put clear instructions into groups
of rhyming eight-syllable sentences and will just concentrate on the
"It's not very good" aspect of the whole enterprise...

the identity of Deep Throat. It seems that Bob Woodward has penned

no lack of theories for who might actually be Deep

the current state of American poetry? Hank Lazer:
Perhaps,
contrary to the laments, we are now living through a particularly rich
time in American poetry—an era of radically democratized poetry...In
its anarchic democratic disorganized decentralization, poetry culture
has developed in a manner parallel to the computer: the decentralized
PC has beaten the main-frame. No one can pretend to know what is out
there, or what is next. Who are some of the most notable
American poets active in the beginning of the 21st century? 1 o'clock poetry

Slam poetry for CC remix
07/23/2004 04:46 AMWayne Mercier is a Vancouver slam poet who has just released his first
book of poetry published, and along with it, a CD of him reading his
work. He's made the entire audio of the CD available for downloand and
remix under a Creative Commons license.
I'm really excited about this, not just because it's a way of getting
my stuff out into the world, but because - to my knowledge - this is
the first time this has been done in Canadian poetry. Coach House
Press releases electronic editions of their author's work but retains
copyright. Also the fact that this is audio, and thus open to
extensive remixing and incorporation into larger, multimedia projects,
is very cool.

Xeni on NPR: Cheeseball pop love songs

02/13/2004 01:18 PM
On today's edition of the NPR program "
Day to Day," I
interview a
University of
Pennsylvania writing instructor who is teaching her students the
common literary elements found in simple pop songs from the '70s and
'80s, classic love poems, and sonnets.
Her
course is called "Hit Me Baby One More Time -- The Erotic Lyric
Tradition", and uses two recently-published compilations of
uber-schlocky pop song lyrics:
I Can't Fight This Feeling (love songs), and
You Give Love a Bad Name (breakup songs).
Listen to the archived audio segment after 12PM PT, and hear what may
well be the most hilarious 30 seconds in NPR history: award-winning
news man Carl
Kassel performing a reading of the Pat Benatar classic "Love is a
Battlefield." Who loves you, baby?

WPA's Little Secret
WPA's Little Secret
11/04/2003 02:32 PMWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has a weakness: poorly chosen short
human-readable passphrases can be cracked with a robust dictionary
attack offline and without access to the network: Robert Moskowitz,
the senior techncial director of TruSecure Corp.'s ICSA Labs, has
given me permission to post this paper he has written that describes a
weakness in the interface design for WPA-equipped access points and
adapters. Robert's paper is rather technical and specific, but I can
summarize: Short, text-based WPA keys can be broken through no fault
in the WPA protocol. The longer summary: If you use the standard
interface for WPA key entry and provide a text passphrase that uses
words found in dictionaries of fewer than 20 characters, a cracker
passively intercepting initial key exchange messages can employ an
offline dictionary attack and extract the encryption key, gaining
access to the network. Key exchange messages occur at the beginning of
a connection between an adapter (station) and an access point; that
exchange can be forced to repeat by a cracker sending a disassociate
message which forces a new exchange within about 30 seconds. So a
cracker can be on and off the network in a couple of minutes with the
information they need. This is actually much worse than WEP, but
easily solved. Robert points out that dictionary-based cracking
programs abound, and that little modification would be needed to turn
one of those into a weak-WPA-key attack. The fundamentals of WPA
remain intact; this is technically an interface problem given that
manufacturers know -- as he points out in his paper -- that users
won't enter long keys. Microsoft solved this problem with their
128-bit WEP solution for their broadband gateway by writing the key to
a floppy disk after it was generated, allowing users to walk the key
from machine to machine. It should be made clear that WEP's flaw were
deep within: WEP can be cracked regardless of how good your key
selection is or how long the key. With WPA, the length of the
passphrase and its quality has a direct relationship to its integrity.
The problem Robert describes isn't unknown; he's just isolated and
expanded on it. The solution is also quite simple: choose a key of at
least 96 bits or a passphrase that includes gibberish that's more than
20 characters long. So far, of all the WPA interfaces that I've seen,
only Apple's allows you...
