Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
I conclude that some work needs to be done to attempt to understand the organisational motivations and behavior of system administration, and to devise ways of preventing the collective behavior of professional administrators from making problems a lot worse than they otherwise would be.
see also : The Current on "embedded Canadians" which is mostly just the same old sickly sweetness but worth it just to hear David I've applied for U.S. citizenship Frum wax poetic about Canada being his point of reference. As usual, I don't think there was any mention made of the oft-neglected classic Canadians among us but I had to stop listening about 5 seconds into the second "George W's West Wing" schtick.So tomorrow morning, a horde of Quebeckers will be enjoying something uniquely Quebecois, redeveloped, industrialized and popularised by a Southern donut chain. How distinctly Canadian -- or, at least as Canadian as the products of that other chain, owned by Americans, named after an American who played hockey for an American hockey team.
Just in case you had any doubts. You crazy fuckers, you.I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation.
I take back what I said yesterday about this country having the world's best music: That piece "The Last Full Measure of Devotion," sung by some airbag soprano with the U.S. Army band at the Pentagon, was what P.G. Wodehouse characters call the frozen limit. All this stuff, moving as some of it is—the reading of names, for instance—brings together some noxious tendencies. One is atmospheric overkill: As I type this, for instance, a string quartet is playing "Amazing Grace" while a man and woman take turns reading. The names alone, among distant city sounds, would have done the trick. I don't mean to sound like a fucking esthete, but whoever planned this was working in accordance with an esthetic too. It reminds me of the original coverage, when TV news—see, I'm not entirely abstemious—would put dramatic music under footage of the towers collapsing. Got to keep the customers entertained.

What does that mean, exactly? I'm not fluent in file permissions; is this considered bad security juju or what?
It means that the directories/files are world writable. In a web context it means that the magic web-server user (usually "http" or "www") has permissions to write all that stuff in a www/blog form to disk (read : index.html)
It also means that any other user on the same server can affect said files. Since most installs of Apache explicitly disallow HTTP "PUT" (read:write) statements, there is some illusory protection from random people all over the Internet, proper, writing to the unprotected directory.
On the other hand, if your webhost offers shell access it would be pretty easy for a bad person, with a login, to snoop out[1] one or more [ insert insecure weblog application here ] directories. From there, they could do something like install a PHP upload form and, bang, your weblog has turned into an instant warez node[2]. Or it may suddenly be "protected" by an .htaccess file you didn't write. That kind of thing.
...
[Y]ou can solve most of these problems if your webhost filters cgi-scripts through a "cgiwrapper" that suids to user 'you'. Since you have write permissions on your own directories, you don't have to extend the privilege to the web-server or anyone else. I haven't done a survey, but I suspect that any ISP/webhost worth it's salt uses a wrapper, which makes install docs that say "0777" all the more frustrating.
[1] Due to the nature and history of Unix systems, many of the auditing tools are readily available and you can find out a whole lot despite the best efforts of security-minded sysadmins...
[2] This is probably unlikely, since PHP is usually built with limits on file uploads but you get the idea.
