After reporting the problems with OpenSSL, which has been nicknamed 'HeartBleed', 2 contributors have forward articles on why you should change your passwords.
Heartbleed, and why you should change your password
I always believed Mojang would keep my details safe, now I realise they are not in control of their own data. Mojang/Minecraft passwords should be changed immediately
Heartbleed Bug: Change All Your Passwords
The fallout from the Heartbleed bug is hitting the mainstream. The BBC has an article headlined "Public urged to reset all passwords".
Bruce Schneier calls it "catastrophic", giving this advice to sysadmins: "After you patch your systems, you have to get a new public/private key pair, update your SSL certificate, and then change every password that could potentially be affected." He also links to a webpage that will let you test servers for the bug, and an article on Ars Technica discussing the bug.

The D language makes it so easy to do unit tests that I am finding myself writing them all the time. It's a different mentality, but I have so much more confidence that my code is doing the right thing now. I actually ported some C code over to D, wrote the unit tests to cover the cases provided in the documentation (it was Kermit protocol), and found bugs in my C code I had never seen before. Now both codebases are in much better shape.
