What happened?

Via a status update on Facebook, of all places, I learned that a friend of mine had committed suicide. I’m still struggling to understand how the kid I knew reached that point in his life.

When I was 13 or 14 I spent many hours over at his house watching TV or playing [...]

Bluecoat – the harlotrous jezebel of pain

My opinion hasn’t changed in the past few months. I think Bluecoat is a horribly coded web filter that does a poor job of characterizing content. Much to my surprise, they have tweaked the algorithm and I’ve seen some noticable changes. First off, they no longer categorically block websites that have the word blog [...]
