Web Devout tidings

The Web browser security summary page now includes graphs showing the relative number and severity of known unpatched security vulnerabilities in time since November 2004 in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera. The graph is updated automatically as time goes on and as new security vulnerabilities are discovered and fixed.

It is interesting to note that, although usage share of Firefox and Opera continue to rise, the number of vulnerabilities seems to be in an overall decline. Meanwhile, the Internet Explorer vulnerability count continues to be on the rise.

I apologize to those of you who have been experiencing some downtime on this website recently. My host has been working on gradually moving to a new, more powerful server, but we ran into a few unexpected bumps. The situation will hopefully become stable in a few days as we complete the process.

Welcome to the new Web Devout weblog. Here I will discuss factors influencing the long-term health of the Web, be they decisions by major corporations or government, progress in web browser development, emerging technologies, etc. This will also be the place to announce and discuss content on the Web Devout site.

I’m currently trying to clean up this system with my custom theme. Don’t freak out if pages look insanely distorted.
