things

[waider]

I meant to link this stuff yesterday, but work + recalcitrant livejournal stopped me:

• One less thing to follow up from McCarthy's Bar: Noel Redding dies
• One more nail in the coffin of a free and open society: Students get USSS grilling (the really freaky bit, I thought, was that they were shopped by their teacher) (via Metafilter)
• Eric Hancock, another lj user I read fairly regularly, has lots of good stuff to say. I had a specific item in mind but damned if I can recall what it was.
• Danny O'Brien tweaks spamfilter to cater for his particular problems. Maybe you should too, instead of perhaps complaining about spamfilter's false positives or whatever.

Dammit, I know I'm missing some stuff here.
