I recently started an Open university course. It has been a long time since I studied and I really need to buckle down and learn how to do it again.
While browsing the OU forums recently I came across a post from people who could not get their head around binary and Hex. The following is the explanation I provided, it seems to have helped some so maybe it will help the wider community as well

Title High Performance Web Sites
Author Steve Sounders
ISBN-10 0-596-52930-9 (ISBN-13 978-0-596-52930-7)
Pages 146 (including index)
High Performance Web Sites by Steve Saunders is an attempt at teaching people how to best go about optimizing their web sites.

Yesterday I was doing my usual run on forums. Looking about to see what I could find that was interesting.
I have a particular interest in PHP coding and came across a user who had made a 3,4 and 5 digit domain name generator. I had a quick look to see how well he had done but found there was a problem. (more…)

Matt Cutts has recently posted an article about Fuzz Testing.
For those of you that are unaware fuzz testing is the art of testing a piece of software by giving it random input. The reason this can be effective is that it can trigger unforeseen bugs within an application. In fact Matt gives an example of tests carried out on UNIX software which found that a substantial percentage of softwares were vulnerable and the fuzz testing caused the application to crash.
