The Facebook account breach extends way beyond the site itself. The compromise of access tokens means the FB SSO (Single Sign-On) mechanism was also vulnerable, meaning users' accounts on third-party sites implementing the FB SSO system may have also been compromised.

Cooked rakott kelkΓ‘poszta – Hungarian layered savoy cabbage casserole – last night, using Quorn mince in place of the meat, adding a few chopped mushrooms and chopped roasted carrots and using some smoked paprika in addition to the sweet. I’m not usually a huge fan of Quorn, but it did work very well in this recipe.

Just upgraded Acorn image editor from version 4 to version 6

To celebrate the launch of macOS Mojave … we’re slashing the price of Acorn by 50% for a limited time.

It’s the image editor I use most on the Mac and IMHO at $14.99 is a bargain!

Cooked with cime di rapa for the first time last night – spaghetti with cime di rapa, garlic, chilli, lemon and parsley, topped with parmesan – a very simple, tasty meal.

Interesting ‘earliest’ stories in the news this week πŸ”– Earliest animal fossils are identified, pushing back the age of earth’s first animals by millions of years, and πŸ”– World’s oldest brewery found, meaning beer is also a lot older than was thought.

Peace Park, a small park I walk through on my daily commute, looks to have completely flooded in heavy rain last night. A huge pile of bulrushes from a nearby pond is now blocking my path.

Worcestershire set 158 to win in the T20 Blast Final. Another great bowling performance, especially by Ali and Brown. No particular affiliation, but I’ve been impressed by them today and hope Worcestershire prevail. 🏏
