ServerTokens Prod
The current Apache OpenSSL worm ("Linux Slapper Worm") checks the webserver version by reading the HTTP header before it attacks.
Added "ServerTokens Prod" to httpd.conf - now it says "Server: Apache", was "Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.10 OpenSSL/0.9.6" before.
(See the Apache documentation and FAQ.)

Creating PDF files
Downloaded the Adobe Generic Postscript printer driver as I thought I should be able to convert the .ps files into .pdf using ps2pdf under Linux. But the resulting PDF is absolutely ugly - images are missing, fonts don't scale...

Beautiful comment box layout on inmyexperience.com
This is how a comment box should look like... (maybe including an "Avatar" / icon of the person commenting.)

T-Online dsl 5000 MB?
The Telekom flat rate has just become more expensive - switch to the 5GB rate instead?

Bundling ADOdb with XDD
XDD uses rather trivial SQL - I probably should remove the xdd_db_*() functions and use ADOdb instead (which could be bundled):

XDD should move deleted records (including associated files) into a .trash directory.

Checking for open ports
Installed a cron job which directs "nmap localhost" output to a file.
This file is checked for diffs by our dc4status tool.
So I should be notified by e-mail when a new port is opened...

Faking POP3 mails with teapop
This is not yet working for me: I can authenticate through POP using my Unix account, but I didn't succeed in using .htpasswd files instead.

Which one is the tool of choice? APC? http://apc.communityconnect.com/
