Readability

I don’t remember exactly where I got this from, but I’ve been using it a lot lately to look at websites.  Since apparently, ad space and other random flash or movement based ads on webpages is now the norm — making the content on a webpage impossible to read without distraction, someone made this.  It’s [...]

Great Desktop Wallpaper for those of you that hate clutter.

This is an absolutely phenomenal desktop wallpaper for those of you that hate clutter.  So, if you are one of those kinds of people (re: me) that can’t stand icons on your desktop and the like..  this one is for you.  Posting the link over to Merlin Mann’s blog, where the awesomeness takes place.

Applying "Getting Things Done" to IPSs

Getting Things Done, or “GTD” for short, as I’ve blogged about before, several times, is a method of personal organization with a focus on accomplishing tasks.  It’s great for applying to email (Inbox Zero) and it’s great for organization of your personal life (read some of the articles I’ve written before, particularly this one).
Some IDS [...]

Fedora 12 allows installation of software without root privs

I posted this on the ISC this morning as well, but I just wanted to post it here as well.
A “bug” created back in November against the latest Fedora release (12) indicates that, through the GUI, desktop users of the Fedora system are able to install signed packages without root privileges or root authentication.  Yes, [...]

IPS’s don’t just send RST packets.

Commenting on an email I read earlier today, some people apparently still have the misconception that an IPS simply sends an RST packet, and therefore, shortly after a session that is taking place between two parties should die.
Nope.
A real IPS, in my opinion, has full control of the traffic.  Cable one, exits firewall, enters [...]

Looking for a Label Printer?

Recently I needed a label printer for a project I was involved with, and after looking around a bit decided on buying the Brother QL-570 Label Printer.  Having not used it before, but having used successful Brother products in the past, I decided that this one was it.
This is a great printer.  It prints fast, [...]

Shootings at Fort Hood

For those of you that have not heard, yesterday, apparently, a psychiatrist decided to take it upon himself to start offing soldiers, and wound up with 12 dead.
I would like to send my condolences out to the families of the victims of this senselessness.  We have enough people trying to kill our soldiers abroad, why [...]

Dojocon

Drove down to Dojocon at Capitol College in Maryland today.  Did the old, “Man the Sourcefire Booth” bit.  Except this time, it was for VRT, instead of at a big Orange Sourcefire booth full of literature about product, the questions this time were about Snort and VRT rules.  Quite a bit different from normal, great [...]

Hey Jude

Don’t know where this originally came from, I saw it on KungFu Grippe.

Lots going on, thus lack of posts

So…  lately I haven’t been posting a lot, been doing a lot of things for work, plus I just got back from a vacation to Disney World, I got my Mustang back, and am traveling for work.
Just for those of you that read the blog and will be there, I’ll be at DojoCon on Friday, [...]
