I picked up this thing about facestalking. You can view other people's pictures and see what they are up to. However, you do need add friends to this. Or do you? It looks like that you can view other people's profiles without friending them. If you go in 'privacy' and then 'poke, message and friend request', you can see who can see your profile.
I'd be very careful who you friend as this man found out the hard way.
So much so, it looks some workplaces are barring them.

Poker and hacking
This hasn't come as a big surprise. Poker has gained a lot positive media. Every other celebrity seemingly want a piece of the action. Combine an interest with this with the Internet, it's hardly surprising that online poker has taken off.
Power hacking? Is that possible? I mean you aren't like to slide an extra ace into your set, are you? But there are a number hacks and tricks that can be made. There is a good reference for online poker hacks that is not filled with too much poker lingo. There's a variety of hacks include the bog standard phishing, collusion and poker bots. However, most of these are on the client side. The server side seems safe as a reputable site would use certificates and cryptography.

Perl and Windows
I've decided that Perl isn't up to scratch when used on a Windows environment. The lack of support for catalyst for windows is something that crossed my mind in the past. But now I've discovered how crap activestate's ppm (perl package manager) really is. I could hardly find any packages with images (let alone the right one). On further googling, it appears for example, GD (one of the main perl graphics packages) is not available on the activestate repository for whatever reason. This is discussed here

Email cleaning
I think everyone can relate to this but I've spent most of the evening going through old email from 3 or 4 email addresses. Ok, admittedly I did this whilst listening to music but as you can see time can easily evaporate with old emails.

IT Conferences / Exhibitions
IT Conference
Today's keyword is: IT Conference
Whilst looking for random conferences, I spotted this article about a group of hackers wondered into a conference and spoofed a wireless login page that whoever connected downloaded some nice worms and viruses. That's funny. It's always turns out to be an inside job, doesn't it.
Anyhow let's have a look at what good development and security conferences that maybe of
interest:

The Black Market for code
I was randomly looking for information captchas. Actually I was looking how to spell it properly seeing I iz fick and can't speek or speel! I stumbled on this project to bypass the myspace captcha. Looking at other projects on this site, you can find projects to enter data to create myspace profiles and creating duplicate copies of websites.
I remember a long time ago looking for projects to work on at possibly freelance auction but found that people would work for peanuts. I think you put yourself on a cheap project, a lot of things can go wrong. For example, you might not get paid. You don't know what your client is like, they could be anal and could give you a bad rating for no reason. Ratings adds to the unnecessary pressure.
So if you are looking for project or looking for a laugh in general, have a look at the following:
Of course you could mock up your own auction site!
