Good post, short and simple, gives a good introduction to securing user passwords. But take notice of the reply from Jeremy Weiskotten, to do avoid rainbow table attacks you should always use salting.

A nice package to protect passwords for Java is Jasypt: http://www.jasypt.org. It uses a strong hash, random salt, plus iterations. Even if you’re using another language, you might want to use a similar technique.

Hi Jeremy!

Yes, it’s very important to store a password hash instead of an actual password. It’s almost as important to use a salt when generating the hash and verifying a password at login as well — without a salt, accounts can be compromised more easily with a “rainbow table” (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table).

It is very interesting to hear your story about X10 and adventure on Insteon. It took me long time to decide which automation device to integrate into our service, and we finally choose webio x10 http controller. It works fine. Did you ever try other standalone, I mean no computer involved, automation device.

Your post is excellent. this one and another Monitor Your home from cell phone.
Thank you.

Comment on Google Analytics Date Range - Analytics Today by Dan

It appears as if Google has modified their URL slightly. Applying Analytics Today to:

“https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting*”

instead of

“https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting/dashboard*”

should do the trick.

(Tools -> Greasemonkey -> Manage User Scripts -> Click on Analytics Today in the left column -> Edit the URL in the Included Pages section)

**The download and source code have now been modified

This was exactly what I was looking for to track my new blog, http://greasypc.blogspot.com, and my other sites. I feel like I’ve wasted so much time and worn out my wrist having to constantly change the date range.
