Geez it's nice to be home! I took a ride on the jet ski today which was just one of those typically perfect Gold Coast winters days at a balmy 24C. I cruised around the ocean with a pod of dolphins (probably a dozen of them), grabbed some prawns for lunch (not those "shrimp" you get other places, proper big prawns), then sat down here and enjoyed the serenity:

But I did get a heap of stuff done earlier this week I was really happy with, the biggy being the announcements around Firefox and 1Password integrating with HIBP. I talk a lot about that in this week's update, as well as the short tutorial series I released on how HTTPS is easy. I'm really happy to see people chiming in on the discussion and talking about how they've already used it to move their site to HTTPS and I hope we see a lot more of that in the future too. I also cover off a few other bits this week including my 5-year old daughter coding and a complete breakdown of the costs that going into running the Pwned Passwords component of HIBP.

- Firefox, 1Password and HIBP - what a match! (search for your email address and benefit from k-anonymity at the same time)
