picotux - the smallest Linux Computer in the World
Today i came across a really fancy project / product, picotux - the smallest Linux Computer in the World.
This thing is apperantly build on top off uClinux and busybox. It connects it self to the outside world over RJ45 or a serial connector and can even serve as a simple web or telnet server.

Understanding XSS to prevent it
There was recently a completely stupid XSS story covered on Slashdot whose main argument is quoted below.
Fortunately this is completely bullshit. We will later discuss what kind of countermeasures can be taken, but first of all make sure you know what XSS is for that purpose i would suggest reading the XSS FAQ.
brain-dump.org finally goes online
After some time on my personal webserver which is only accessible

Developing Java Macros for OpenOffice.org and debuging them with Eclipse
I recently had the pleasure to develop a OpenOffice.org Java Macro and from that expirience i can tell you that it is a
pain in the ass.
No really, to start with the API is well not that simple and easy to work with. I understand that it is a complex task to create a cross plattform cross language, network aware component framework but the whole UNO
thing is probably a bit over designed (see the Developer Guide with 1100+ pages).
Maybe i yust don't grasp it yet, so to let you judge yourself here is a junk of code. It's a simple helper class which demonstrates some basic functions like filling out form fields.
