| BloGTK BloGTK is a weblog client that allows you to post to your weblog from Linux without the need for a separate browser window. BloGTK allows you to connect with many weblog systems such as Blogger, Movable Type, pMachine, and more. BloGTK is written using Python and PyGTK, and is designed to be fast and simple to use. BloGTK is open-source software released under the BSD license, which means that it is completely free for use.
BloGTK won't make you more attractive to the opposite sex, it won't create world peace, and it doesn't make julienne fries. It does make updating your weblog from Linux much easier and more efficient. On the other hand, that could make you more attractive to the opposite sex. |

| Blogs: Another Tool in the Security Pro's Toolkit (Part Two) In my last column, I introduced you to blogging and blogs, and some of the issues that security professionals should consider before starting their own blogs. In this column we continue the discussion, and focus on blogs that specialize in security.

| Worth a 'Quote Unquote' Thanks to Heiko, a controversy from the German blogging community has leaked into the Anglosphere. How should bloggers quote one another? Should a quote be immediately identifiable as a quote? Should a link always be permalink? I personally bristle at any rules that bloggers 'must' or 'should' do anything, except be true to their own principles and to themselves. I don't blog to share knowledge. I don't blog to be part of a community. I blog for myself, for my own enjoyment. I don't have an obligation to follow any rules with my weblog, except to please me. So Dave Winer is free to edit his posts during the day. Jörg Kantel is free to quote without attribution. (Although once you read his blog for a few days, it's pretty easy to pick out his words from the quotes, even without the quotation marks. And for all I know, maybe he didn't even invent his catch phrase "Allerschärfstes Willkommen".) And I'm free to quote and paraphrase in my Quick Links to get things to fit in the tool tip bar. And those who blog seriously, professionally, for business, or as consultants, just have to accept weblogs for what they are, namely mostly unserious and unprofessional. You might as well try to herd cats. Update It's appropriate to add a quote here, from Jonathon Delacour (welcome back, by the way), in regards to ethics and blogging: "I instinctively mistrust attempts... to impose rules or standards, no matter how well-intentioned they might be."
