		<title>MSP430 BSL Attacks, new F5xxx series, musings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d do a small interlude into the embedded hardware and firmware space (which is generally my main area of work) from the normal EVE-Central heavy side of this blog. I have been musing about the code security protections of the MSP430 micro-controller, specifically the Boot Strap Loader (BSL), which remains enabled at all [...]]]></description>

		<title>About rle_unpack in libevecache</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have had several questions regarding the &#8220;rle_unpack&#8221; function in libevecache. In order to not repeat myself in e-mails, I decided to make a quick post describing the logic:
The market rows are compressed with an odd variant of run-length-encoding. In this case, the extra &#8220;0&#8243; bytes are suppressed and encoded into one byte.
The row starts [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get ready for Dominion!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You heard CCP, Dominion lands on December 1st. Hopefully this major patch will be a little less buggy than some of CCP&#8217;s previous mass roll-outs.  As for EVE-Central.com, I will be working hard to make sure all of the relevant new items (namely the sovereignty devices) are in the database near the launch. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>E-mail push update: Corrected CSV headers, fixed daily dumps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An update for those of you using the EVE-Central mail push service:

The CSV header is no longer CSV Header, but now actually describes the columns
The header has been updated to include &#8220;source&#8221; information (cache, syndication, etc). This may not be available in all cases. The exact sources aren&#8217;t set in stone yet.

		<title>Emergency tuning: Batched e-mail sending</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve done some quick tuning to the SMTP push service to keep up with the much larger volume of traffic generated by the new uploader. You may notice that the e-mails now contain many types, concatenated together. It turns out that mailman is simply not ideal when distributing 100 e-mails a second  
For now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>E-mail: When will it end? (Fixed!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looks like Yahoo and Hotmail/Live/Microsoft have synced up their e-mail blacklists. The server eve-central.com uses for outbound messages has been blacklisted by both of these entities. I am trying to get this resolved, but in the mean time, if you need a password reset, please e-mail us directly. We&#8217;ll use an alternate outbound mail method [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contribtastic 2.0 Alpha 1, upload to EVE-Central via cache files</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(tl;dr: New uploader with cache reading capability is available as an early alpha release: Download here )
When I was working on libevecache, I was imagining making a quick-turn uploader which used the functionality from the library allowing EVE-Central uploader users to no longer have to hit the magic button. 
That was several months ago now. [...]]]></description>

Yahoo! mail is currently not being accepted from the EVE-Central.com and StackFoundry.com servers (38.113.114.184, 38.113.114.187). We are doing the correct customer support contact magic in order to re-enable delivery with Yahoo!, but cannot give definite timelines.
