Why you might want to anonymize the email addresses for your online accounts, some techniques for how to do that, and the details of how I did it myself, including stats, stories, and scripts.
Please note that the most recent edition of the This Modern World comic was published a few days early and therefore the comics aggregator didn’t pick it up. That bug has been fixed so next time it will be picked up, but for those of you who want to see the early one, here you… Read More »
Whatever Eastern Bank’s priorities were in rolling out its new portal, good UX and security seemingly weren’t among them.

As a reminder, you need a Comics Kingdom subscription to read its comics through the aggregator, as documented in the user guide.

The comic strip The Lockhorns, which was previously hosted on Comics Kingdom, has moved to GoComics, so my comics aggregator has been updated to reflect this and the strip is once again available there. Note that a paid subscription is required to read Comics Kingdom through the aggregator (as per the user guide) but not… Read More »
Never fear, comics aggregator users who have noticed that Brewster Rockit has been missing for the past few days! I have it on good authority (the author himself!) that it will return shortly: Actually still trying to figure out what’s wrong, but this happens occasionally (this isn’t the first time) and it’s usually a clerical… Read More »
