Joel Spolsky writes: "My second book has finally been published! [...] The official title is Joel on Software: And on Diverse and Occasionally Related Matters That Will Prove of Interest to Software Developers, Designers, and Managers, and to Those Who, Whether by Good Fortune or Ill Luck, Work with Them in Some Capacity, but you can call it Joel+37 or Joel, The Book." [Joel on Software] I'm looking forward to getting the promised review copy from Apress. I wrote earlier a review (in Finnish) of the previous book. I believe this one will be a classic also.

DIY phishing kits hit the Net: "Do-it-yourself phishing kits are being made available for download free of charge from the Internet, according to anti-virus firm Sophos. [...] Anyone surfing the Web can now get their hands on these kits, launch their own phishing attack and potentially defraud computer users of the contents of their bank accounts. These DIY kits contain all the graphics, web code and text required to construct bogus websites designed to have the same look-and-feel as legitimate ecommerce sites. They also come with spamming software." [The Register]
