Good WebApp Design: Don't get hacked ;) All in fun Evoke!
This is in reference to my earlier blog:
http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/first-evoke-hack-evoke-api
To give everyone some background, I've been building WebApps for around 10 years now. I've worked as a developer all the way to a system architect. So when I made my post this morning about how to "Hack Evoke", I felt a little bad, and decided I wanted to make sure something good came out of it.
So I'm going to talk about something called Tokenization, which a design pattern you can use in many applications, but the one I use it for is to protect from people like me when creating WebApps.
First let me say that I was shocked to see that wikipedia did not have a section on this yet, and so I will be sure to start one. Here's the closest thing I could find on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokenization_%28data_security%29
Anyways, tokenization is a simple principle of hiding information through an alias. Here's how it works:
1. A client comes to the server, and is given a unique ID, called a token
2. Now, whenever the client does anything or submits any information, you store that data on the server side so that it can not be tainted.
That's pretty much it, but it is a very powerful tool to keep your data safe :)
P.S. I'm at work now, but I'll come back to clean this up and fill in more details.

good stuff. i actually dont know How much of this site is from ning's code, and how much is custom for Evoke itself. and unfortunately I don't know enough about coding to be able to figure that out.
but I have talked with several others about the API here. it needs some work. we should have an open API as well. so people can build on top of this site. apps, widgets, rss features, etc.

Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
