Clear text passwords on filmtipset.se
The Swedish movie review site filmtipset.se just sent me a mail containing my password. Not an autogenerated one, but my old 20-ish character long password. Apparently they didn’t learn anything from the Bilddagboken security breach… Time to find a new site to keep track of my watched movies.

A Belkin F5D9230-4 router dropping its connection every 5 minutes on the second? Neither healthy nor fun.

Converting GeekTool output
I sometimes have to handle fancy Nordic characters (åäö) in my GeekTool setup and by default GeekTool has problems handling UTF-8. The solution appears to be to convert the output of the console commands to ucs-2-internal before displaying it:
foo | iconv -f utf-8 -t ucs-2-internal
Local copy of xkcd
Fetching all xkcd strips not already downloaded to the current directory in a bandwidth limited and slow-and-nice way:
wget --recursive --limit-rate=20k --wait=5 --random-wait --level=1 --timestamping --no-directories --no-host-directories --accept=png http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/
