A passionate programmer, software architect, and a enthusiastic observer of internet technologies and usage. Having worked in a variety of roles, the essential passion that drives me is that of a Programmer. Architecture and Design issues excite me, Solving problems through programming is what I crave. C++, Java and Python I am quite competent at, Python being the most exciting. A number of other languages I experiment with.

  • Fully convinced passwords are an endangered species, though it will take some time for them to disappear. PKI/Client certs r the way 2 go #
  • Can anyone, ANYONE, suggest a way to not ship a password over the wire and keep them stored as one way hashes in db ? IMO impossible. #
  • PKI allows the server to not store the client key, and yet allows communication to happen without shipping the client key. #
  • @chrislovecnm RSA is clearly one of the ways to go – but it is not a "password" which is what I was referring to. in reply to chrislovecnm #
  • @chrislovecnm rsa token are indeed a useful and powerful solution though client cert authentication also suffices. in reply to chrislovecnm #
  • @chrislovecnm I believe RSA tokens are more secure – but less scalable (eg. imagine Facebook/Twitter having to ship RSA tokens to all custs) in reply to chrislovecnm #
  • @chrislovecnm I am nodding my head in violent agreement (re: passwords suck) in reply to chrislovecnm #
  • Anyone know any public 2/3 legged OAuth implementation using RSA-SHA1 (not HMAC-SHA1) as the signature scheme ? #
  • RT @ghoseb: Introducting, Planet Clojure – http://planet.clojure.in/ If you have a Clojure blog, let me know. #clojure #
  • @sbidwai interesting thought .. shall check it out .. (though don't know if it is feasible). #
  • @kaleidic J looks very interesting. I imagine it being useful 4 algorithmic financial stuff (eg. stock trading). Any refs on performance? in reply to kaleidic #
  • @vdichev Another friend suggested COBOL :D in reply to vdichev #
  • I knew Jinja2 templating engine but discovered 2day its ability to sandbox python code. Awesome. http://jinja.pocoo.org/ Thanks for the ref #
  • If these are the most significant s/w dev developments of 2009 – its been a pretty drab year. http://bit.ly/7RUiPA #

  • Must read PDF RT @debasishg: Great read #Lisp – A Language for Stratified Design.. http://bit.ly/8XBsHc #
  • Curious post RT: @mfeathers Blog from James Hague: Functional Programming doesn't work (and what to do about it) http://bit.ly/6X3ryc #
