ETrace 1.1 has finally been released (get the goodness here). I say finally, not because you've all been stuck with version 1.0, but because this is the first time any version of ETrace has been publicly released.
ETrace was born back in 2001, created by the fertile (and often twisted) minds of the folks in ISS X-Force Security Assessment Services.
Glyn Geoghegan provided the original idea and, once the initial version was up and running, David Morgan then provided some of the most detailed feedback ever seen.
So there it is. Thanks Glyn, thanks Dave...
Please leave me alone now.

HTML/CSS positioning has always had be pulling my hair out, with absolute positioning being the largest threat to my coiffure.
Well, today I found an excellent artical on all aspects of CSS positioning at BrainJar.com. Here's the excerpt that finally made everthing make sense to me:
The containing block of an absolutely positioned element is defined a little differently than it is for other elements. The containing block for an absolutely positioned element is established by its closest, positioned ancestor. That is, the nearest element outside it that has a position of absolute, relative or fixed. If there is no such ancestor element, the initial containing block (the browser window) is used.//
The full artical can be found here:
The section on absolute positioning is on page 4.
Arctic Monkeys At The Crocodile
Events: Submitted by Dave on 30-Mar-06 at 07:43pm
Caught the Arctic Monkeys last night at the Crocodile Cafe, Speaker Speaker opened.
The gig had been pushed on the radio all week, and tickets had sold out a month or so ago so the Croc was rammed.
Not my usual cup of tea, but they were both pretty good, and I'm a big fan of actual music, you know, with actual people using actual instruments.

I'm on site for the next few weeks. So, ok, their building, their rules, but damn these people have no concept of coffee machine etiquette.
Coffee machine etiquette goes like this: the person that empties the pot brews the next pot. It's simple, it works, and it means I never have to wait around for a cup of coffee...
Every time I went to the coffee machine yesterday it was empty. I brewed five pots of coffee yesterday and managed to get two cups of coffee. Ok, so some of that is my fault wandering off while it's brewing and then forgetting about it, but am I the only one in the entire building that knows who to use the coffee machine?
So now, after I've hit the start button on the machine, I figure I have one of two options:
- Head back to the office and set some sort of alarm to remind myself that coffee will be ready in five minutes, or,
- Stand in front of the coffee machine, vigorously defending my coffee from anyone attempting to steal it...
