Evangelii Gaudium - Joy of the Gospel
Pope Francis released his Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium ( Joy of the Gospel ), today.
I'm having a quick read through it, but as with all other Papal writings, I'm pretty sure it requires a deeper reading sometime when I have a quiet period of time to reflect on it.
There's already some chatter about certain statements the Pope makes in this Exhortation, and many others can summarize and scrutinize much better than I.
In other news, I found out about this release pretty soon
reCAPTCHAs are easier to readâbut they're still a bad idea
From the article reCAPTCHAs are finally readable by normal humans :
Google today announced that reCAPTCHAs served up to humans are finally readable without the need to squint your eyes or bang your keyboard in frustration after typing the wrong sequence of letters five times in a row. Who can even read those things, amirite?

Kerberos authentication on a Mac OS X workstation with Chrome
Kerberos authentication allows your computer to log into certain services automatically without you having to enter (and re-enter) your password (it's a SSOâsingle sign-onâservice). Kerberos v5 is baked into Windows and Internet Explorer and works great with many LDAP-enabled services (for example, Drupal's LDAP module allows includes a submodule for SSO support).
Kerberos is built into Mac OS X as well, but isn't as simple to use and configure
Apache Kerberos Authentication and basic authentication fallback
Many businesses and organizations use Active Directory or other LDAP-based authentication systems, and many web applications (like Drupal) can easily integrate with them for authentication and user account provisioning.
The Kerberos Module for Apache allows users to be automatically logged into your web application, by passing through their credentials behind the scenes. This makes for a seamless user experienceâthe user never needs to log into your web application if the user is authenticated on his local machine.
A standard configuration for Kerberos authentication inside your Apache configuration
