Looks promising.

The Verge reports this morning that a user of a Russian forum has leaked nearly 6.5 million unsalted, SHA-1 hashed LinkedIn account passwords.

While the original forum post appears to be down, a Google cache of the thread is still available.

As part of an effort to increase my Drupal knowledge, I’m rebuilding my site in Drupal. Most likely, things will break, links will no longer work, rivers of blood, fire raining from the heavens, etc. etc. etc. If you find something particularly broken, please let me know. »

I've been working on feeding Amazon S3 access log data in to Splunk. I'm running a fairly simple setup: several websites, each with their own bucket; a single "logs" bucket that all the website buckets log to, using their domain name as a prefix; and a single Splunk server.

While I'm on the subject of GetSimple plugins, I wanted to point out that I've released another plugin: Updater for GetSimple - keep your GetSimple installation and plugins up to date. Does what it says on the tin.

Simple Backups has taken the second place prize in GetSimple's March 2012 Create-a-thon!

Announcing the release of my second plugin for GetSimple (and my entry in GetSimple's March 2012 Create-a-thon): Simple Backups.

Continuing my trend of uncreatively named extensions, Simple Backups aims to make backing up your GetSimple website simple. It supports multiple schedules, automatic backup rotation on a per-schedule basis, and storing backups locally, on FTP, in S3 or sending them via email (more details on the project page).

You can download the latest release from Extend, or grab the bleeding-edge source from GitHub.

In my spare time, I’ve been working on a searchable Australian postcode database.

It’s fairly rudimentary at the moment - the search page only exposes searching by location name (with wildcards) and state, and returns any matching postcodes (and, if available, latitude and longitude data).

I've released an update to my News Manager RSS plugin, fixing a couple of entity-encoding bugs.

Get it from Extend, as usual.

Announcing my first plugin for GetSimple - add RSS functionality to your News Manager blog with the uncreatively named News Manager RSS plugin.

It’s a fairly simple plugin, displaying the latest $x posts from your News Manager in RSS 2.0 format. It also injects an RSS autodiscovery tag into the header of your site, for ease of discovery.
