Unfortunately it’s not a glitch in the matrix—this happened to a friend of mine. If a site gets this warning and isn’t listed on StopBadWare.org it just means that Google have blacklisted it themselves—they don’t share their reasons with StopBadWare, and provide no mechanism to find out why they’ve blacklisted you.

[... 135 words]Facebook Query Language. The Facebook API now lets you run SQL-like queries. You can’t do joins but you can perform very simple subselects. # 12:06 pm
Flash MP3 Player. Nice little embeddable MP3 player, with support for single files or Atom/XSPF/RSS playlists. # 2:13 am
Oxford Geeks hit the media! Coverage in the local newspaper and on the radio, with MP3s. # 2:12 am
Camino 1.1 Beta. Camino now has session saving. I simply won’t use a browser that doesn’t have this feature. # 1:16 am
Data::ObjectDriver. Benjamin Trott’s Perl ORM, with built in support for both caching and data partitioning. I think this is what Six Apart uses for Vox. # 12:43 am
