Linkblogging for the last few days
Now I have something approximating a working computer again, I can get back to bloggery. I’ll be doing a proper update tonight, but for now here’s some links.
(Of course, I’ve lost the link for the big news, which is Gaiman doing a two-part Batman story. I just hope that doesn’t mean Morrison is leaving the title, though it probably does…)

A link to test your DNS vulnerability. For those who don’t know, a vulnerability was found recently in DNS, which is (in non-technical jargon) the way your computer and ISP knows which site a link is pointing to. That vulnerability affected every DNS server in the world, and essentially meant it was theoretically possible for you to type in http://mybank.com and instead be pointed to http://giveusyourbankdetailssowecanstealthem.com , with no-one knowing. The test on this page will let you know if the servers used by your ISP are safe.

Chris at Funnybook Babylon has a theory about Identity Crisis.
