I increasingly have found myself thinking naughty thoughts about the present US administration. I might read another piece on Salon.com, or stumble across the online edition of The Guardian. And while musing on their latest lefty criticism of George W and his cohorts the new F-word flits unbidden into my head. Only to be swiftly […] Perusing Scientific American, February 2002. Yes, I admit I’m a bit behind with my reading… But I do not suspect the information is invalid due to the passage of a few years. Before the neo-con equivalent of the mutawa have all back issues burned and all references made illegal it is worth recording what is […] MD5 Encryption? It’s been a while since I wrote the first part of this MD5 article . Here in Part 2 I’m not (yet) going to cover the subject of hash collisions… That will follow in another future part. Just now I want to deal with the pervasive, but wrong, belief that MD5 (or […] Here’s how to do it. I had a Ubuntu box running 6.06 (Dapper) and a vanilla install of Apache2, PHP5 and MySQL5.

While I’ve lived a a number of different countries, my background is predominantly British. So my main familiarity with legal systems and so on is thus also British. In […] In the first part of this story, I offered some general advice regarding not losing your deposit when renting property in France. The key advice I gave is to be sure that before accepting the property, you must make sure the état des lieux is absolutely correct and comprehensive. Now let’s jump ahead several months […] Today the UK parliament votes on the proposed Racial & Religious Hatred Bill (BBC story here). [EDIT: Since publishing, this link has changed to the BBC story reporting the defeat of the new law. Hooray!] There is much opposition to this bill (and, I’m sure, much support too) from various quarters, much of it valid. […] This article is all about how you get ripped off when living in rented accomodation in France, how to avoid it and, if it happens, how to fight back. One important disclaimer up front: I am not a lawyer, and none of this should be taken as formal legal advice. All I will do is […] |
