Merry Christmas (or happy holidays) everyone!

We opened up our gifts earlier today (24th) because my sister had to go work the midnight shift. I got some small stuff like colugne and aftershave, The Ultimate Matrix, a little home-made “gift certificate” that will get me my license, and $600 cash!

I didn’t know what to put on my Christmas list, so… That’s what I get :p My parents said they aren’t going to do that again because cash is too impersonal and isn’t right on Christmas. Which is true, I suppose.

Anywho, hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! My birthday is in 5 days and I’m going to get my license on it, so I need to start looking over the drivers manual.

Hardened-PHP released a list of critical vulnerabilities for PHP on the 15th. Even though the list was released on the 15th (the same day the secure PHP versions were released at PHP.com), the hype has started up since it has been Slashdot‘ed. They affect lots of popular scripts including phpBB (already an exploit), vBulletin, InvisionBoard and more. Since the Slashdot article, I can see a bunch of exploits being released publicly in a short amount of time (for example, the phpBB exploit that was posted today).

Any PHP version <4.3.10 is vulnerable, so go download the newest now!

I’ve been low on time since the beginning of this school year, so I decided to take on a side project that would be simpler — a blog I do a little bit at a time, but it’s coming along nicely.

Just thought I’d post something since not much has been going on.
