New category: "Best Of"

I’ve added a new category to this blog, called “Best Of”. It contains my all-time favourite entries from this blog over the two years (and counting) of its existence.

I’ve started filling it with entries from my old Blogger-based blog, which still resides at kode-fu.com. The “Best Of” stories that are currently available are:

  • Breach of Security

    A con man comes to my house and gets away with it…a second time! This is the first entry to get a link from BoingBoing.

  • A spammer needs help from a time traveller!

    He’s screwed up his life, and he’s spamming for temporal assistance. I respond.

  • Konichiwa, 2002!

    I tell fourteen stories, each one about a different new year’s eve.

  • Elegy

    How I imagine what happened on the first staff lunch after OpenCola laid me off.

  • Saturday night

    A wonderful weekend evening, just in time to make up for the suckiness of the previous week.

  • Microsoft gets security religion, part 1

    I do a little social engineering and hack Microsoft’s security.

  • Stagette

    I always knew that the accordion would eventually get me invited into a limo full of drunk women in San Francisco. Really.
