Seven Habits of Highly Effective Programmers. Good stuff and I really didn’t see much there that I’d even quibble with. I might forward this around the office next week.

Speaking of development, if you’re a budding web developer (or even experienced), some good stuff in this 24 Ways article.

I found a real live bug in Wordpress 2.0 beta! Yay me. While I wasn’t the one who wrote it up, it directly refers to a series of posts I started in a support thread.

Apparently I need to learn how to take mysql out of strict mode for now (see my support post, “Dude, where’s my Draft?“). I suppose i better do some searching in the bug tracking stuff to see if this is already logged.

A free and open sourced windows firewall? I stumbled over the link, but haven’t tried WIPFW yet. Intriguing?

WIPFW is a MS Windows operable version of well-known IPFW1 for FreeBSD OS. You can use the same functionality and configure it as only you work with IPFW.

IPFW is a packet filtering and accounting system which resides in the kernelmode, and has a user-land control utility, ipfw. Together, they allow you to define and query the rules used by the kernel in its routing decisions.

Peter shared this one with me the other day: Hamachi. This thing is just plain slick if you need a relatively easy/simple way to connect multiple machines (your own or friends and family) via a vpn over the internet. Hit the site and give it a read. See the possibilities!

Rich put a post up today that pretty much weirds me out… check that link (yes, it is safe for all ages).
