df Output Ordering
Sometimes questions come up that you know you should know the answer to but you just don't. My recent one was "how does df choose the output order?" The man page doesn't mention the logic behind it and a quick strace shows it pulls its data from /proc/mounts (which you'd expect) and returns the output in the same order. So logically the question becomes how does /proc/mounts order things?

It's not exactly an important question but I can see how this ends - and it involves source code.

WOOT 2007
The Workshop On Offensive Technologies (WOOT 07) might be the most interesting new conference this year. If it plays its cards right it'll be a good mix of the more underground groups, infosec professionals and security think tanks. We need more events like this in the UK.

Don't know how nice I'll have to be to management to try and get a ticket but it'll probably be worth it.
