A peaceful refuge was needed for just a few maverick survivors of the

Despite all odds, I am not dead. Of course, I will be at 26C3 this year, and maybe that'll bring me up to speed with some cool computer stuff ™, or maybe I am just getting really old and lame. But don't worry, I am not on efnet just yet. Oh yea, and merry xMas.

I just woke up to see that zf05.txt (zero for owned 5) had been released. So, enjoy, or don't, whatever rocks your socks.

Someone totally 0wned our long-lived and well-serving IRCd, and so I'm moving it to PtP (where there are many good people). DNS should update in the next few hours. Let's hope that the old lain bot won't die choking on its own exception throwup so we can have a peaceful and well-guarded, sparkling irc experience.
I was looking for an easy, lightweight C implementation of SHA-256, as a key derivation routine for elliptic curve cryptography. But apparently, the word "lightweight" is subject to horrible misuse. Hence, I just looked at the pseudocode at wikipedia, implemented it and ... it didn't work. Why? After 7 hours of bigendian nightmare, I compared my code to another implementation just to realize that the wikipedia pseudocode was wrong. Wikipedia should die. And yes, I corrected the wiki entry ... long live wikipedia!
I had a lot of fun reading the RTLO article in the GNY zIne and found myself very incompetent when it came to inputting that RTLO char anywhere. Hence, I wrote a little program that would set my clipboard to just the RTLO char, allowing me to paste it into browser forms and other stuff conveniently. I did this because the other tool that was linked isn't open source. Granted, my app has no GUI, but at least you can see its insides.
