Let me preface this by saying that if you are not running Ossec on at least your external facing machines, then you should be. It’s great software! The reason this post is here is for reference mostly and maybe to be able to help someone out later via their favorite search engine. I have been […]
After a year at my new job I finally got a new computer to work on. This thing is absolutely smokin! It’s a Dell Latitude D630, Core2Duo 2.5ghz, 4gb ram, 120gb hdd and all the trimmings PLUS 2 20″ monitors to hook to the dock. That’s right, my desktop is 3360×1050. I have to say […]
I just wanted to tell you all a story about a fantastic company. That company is Neuros Technology. Long long ago, when Neuros first released the OSD, Joe Born, the man behind Neuros, arranged to get me a review unit. I received the unit, reviewed it and “saw that it was good”. Things were a […]
Friday: * Up at 2am to do the 3 S’s and drive to meet up with Allan and Pat in Easton, so we can all drive to Columbus together. We rented a Kia minivan, which drove really nice and was much more comfortable than a plane trip would have been. We left around 4am-ish and […]
A while ago I mentioned that I installed Suse on a separate partition on my laptop. My intentions were to give it a test drive and then use hat partition to do the same for some other distributions. Well, last night I finally got off my rhump and tried Gos 3. I have to say […]
I keep forgetting to publish this post, so I had better do it now before I forget again 🙂 Many of you know that I dig using (al)pine for reading my email. This is especially true on my Acer Aspire One netbook. I like to have fast access to my email and save space on […]
Yesterday, a buddy and fellow podcaster, Dave Yates emailed a bunch of people, myself included, about an idea he had. His idea was to have a “planet” for the podcasters. A “planet” for those uninitiated is an aggregated weblog/feed where many people’s separate content is merged together in one place for convenience sake (mostly). Everyone […]
Crap. That’s my final thought on the subject. Last night I decided to finally update my wireless infrastructure and start using WPA instead of just using mac filtering. It’s not that I am uber concerned about the security aspect of it because, let’s face it, the only way to really have a secure box and […]
I have to tell you that I almost feel bad about this…. almost. I just purchased the Acer Asrpire One. I purchased it at the local Microcenter as it seems they are sold out everywhere else around here. I, of course, bought the one with the 8gb solid state drive, Linux (Linpus Lite) and 512mb […]
A good while ago I remember voicing my opinion on the show about those new Netbooks, the sub-compact notebooks/laptops that everyone was buying. It was my opinion that they were underpowered and pricey for what they actually offered. After all, why buy a mini notebook when you can get a fairly good regular notebook for […]
