I just pushed out an updated version of
HttpCompress
that replaces #ziplib with the built-in compression classes provided by
the .NET 2 class library. If you’re running on 2.0, give it a go and
see how it performs.

I’ve done only minor smoke testing at this point, so I have no idea
if this will perform better or worse than #ziplib. The framework
classes do not appear to allow you to set the compression level, so
I’ll probably release any version sometime soon that allows you to
choose what underlying compression engine you’d like to use.

Also, if anyone has any outstanding bug fixes for the compression module, send them along and I’ll get them worked into the source. Thanks!

I’m not an ardent tin-foil hat wearer, but for those that are, the folks over at MIT recently did a study that seems to debunk the usefullness of tin foil hats. However, there’s a response to the debunking over at ZPi, so I’m not really sure who to believe…

Would anyone happen to know what font they use for the logo over at Bloglines? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Update: It was ITC Officina Serif.

I’m back in Ann Arbor / Manchester for the week for my grandfather’s 90th birthday, and I’m spending the week working in coffee shops and libraries. It’s good to be back at umich, but wow do I feel old. Students are calling me “sir”.

Sigh.

Found a site with Apache2 + OpenSSL precompiled for Windows. Happy, if you’re into that kind of thing.
