Audit My Joomla – Looks like a very useful service for anybody running a Joomla site, which tend to attract hack attempts. I should probably run this on, uh, a particular site I maintain.
Geeks and Privilege – Well said. The Snook and I have always admitted how lucky we were to have the breaks we had and to end up in the jobs we’re in.

A-line Skirt
Another finished thing for Sewvember! I made this last weekend based on the hand-drawn pattern I used for my previous A-line skirts. The fabric was a remnant that I bought at Publisher Textiles when my Mom was visiting last winter. I believe it’s a thick cotton. Instead of a waist facing, I drafted my own waistband using this Colette tutorial. Somehow I got muddled and put the zipper on the right instead of the left, but that was the only snag in an otherwise quick and rewarding project.
