Today's fire drill was caused by our printing system not printing;since it is the first day of classes, it was not a good time todiscover this. After fixing a couple of small problems, the bigstumbling block was authentication not working.
Our printing system has a central machine that handles quotamanagement and a per-lab machine that handles the actual printspooling and printing. This requires the labmasters to talk to thequota server to tell it about pages that got printed.
Because I am paranoid,
Concurrency may or may not be hard (I know people who disagree with meon that). But I am sure that it is tricky. As an illustration, I justfixed a DWiki concurrency bug that I first spotted in MyFirstCommentSpam .
For simplicity, DWiki stores each comment as a file in a directoryhierarchy that mirrors the page's DWiki path; if you comment on the DWiki page /foo/bar , the comment will be a file in a /foo/bar/ directory (under a separate top

(You win bonus points for also logging it to syslog, so that aninnocent person might be deluded into thinking that it's only going via syslog.)

In theory, WanderingThoughts has been syndicated on LiveJournal as the LJ usercks_techblog( here ) forsome time.

Because I dislike small limits, DWiki defaults to putting lots of entries in syndication feeds, more thanenough to exceed LiveJournal's size limit given how I write.
(LiveJournal compounds the problem by not allowing a syndication feedto be

《格林兄弟幻險記 The Brothers Grimm 》講的是格林兄弟 Will 和 Jacob 的冒險故事，其後他們將所見所聞寫成現在已經是家傳戶曉的《格林童話集》。與《 Finding Neverland 》的方向不同，這個故事不以真人真事角度改編，而是將他們的事寫成另一個童話故事，
This Friday I discovered a neglected web-based bulletin board on oneof our web servers that was open for posting. Unfortunately, commentspammers had discovered it months before I did and had been gleefullyexploiting it since then. The result gives me an unpleasant, fullthrottle view into the world of comment spammers.
The raw numbers are appalling: in the time they were active, thecomment spammers posted at least 233,799 spam comments (fortunately,the web board only stored the last 10
