In the intro, a huge thank you to Chris Miller for his ongoing donation. Also inspired by my latest appearance on The Secret Lair to discuss free content and supporting artists, some brief thoughts on my own views towards the show and earning something from it.

This week's security alerts are a several OpenSSL flaw and research on statistical attacks on security questions. I recommend treating security answers where they are required like passwords, storing them in a password vault and securely, randomly generating them.

In this week's news a fan sequel to King's Quest is shutting down (the original publisher playing a large role in Steven Levy's "Hackers" which I reviewed previously), a hearing was schedule last week to discuss internet freedom abroad including circumvention though we might do well to apply the same standards at home, two storied about plugless brain-computer interfaces with a compelling first hand account of one, and Google search index to go real time.

Following up this week the USTR responds to Senator Wyden's letter about ACTA with some good analysis and the problems with a revised censorship amendment to the DEB that now targets weblockers.

This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast.

No listener feedback this week.

Due to the length of the interview, there is also no new hacker word of the week this week.

The feature this week is an interview with my good friend and fellow podcaster, Chris Miller. Chris has provided me with conference reports twice before, for Google I/O in 2008 and SCALE 7x in 2009. This time he joins me to report on his experience at PyCon 2010. In the course of the discussion, we mention his employer, The Linux Outlaws, Watts Humphrey's Personal Software Process, David Beazley's presentation on the Python GIL, Mark Shuttleworth, and Catherine Devlin's presentation on cmd2.

If you want to hear more conversation between Chris and myself on less technical but still crunchy subjects, check out episode 24 of The Secret Lair.
