BlogBook. It's going to take a long time for me to round up all the case studies for my second book, At the Edge: Content Delivery on the Internet. So in the meantime, I'm writing book #1.5, Microcontent: Weblogs and Headline Syndication. You guessed it...I've been hooked by the blog bug. If you want to see the preliminary outline (particularly if you'd like to add your comments), visit my new weblog/discussion forum. I encourage you to join and check the option to receive bulletins via email.

"The average latency from Europe and the United States has reached a level close to 800 milliseconds. This increase in average latency may be due to a malfunction in one of the saix.net routers in New York City."

DIY Security. There are some valuable free downloadable documents here. In an article entitled New Information Systems Security Self-assessment Guide Hits The Streets, security expert Mark Merkow discusses the recently released a security self-assessment guide from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The guide aims to help both governmental agencies and civilian commercial organizations with a standardized assessment tool to verify and validate their security implementations.
