Writing Snort Rules Correctly

Let me start off by saying I’m not bashing the writer of this article, and I’m trying not to be super critical.  I don’t want to discourage this person from writing articles about Snort rules.  It’s great when people in the Snort community step up and explain some simple things out there.  There are mistakes, [...]

Review: Jawbone ICON Bluetooth Headset

I am not trying to jump on you like a bully and pummel you with reviews for a few posts recently, but I feel, as a geek, I have the need to tell my other geeky friends if something sucks, or if something is good. That way, not everyone spends money on things that [...]

Review: Capitol Hilton, Washington, D.C.

This week I had to come down to Washington, DC to work with a customer.  Now, I’ve been to loads and loads of Hotels, and most of the big ones in Washington, DC.  This week I decided to stay at the Capitol Hilton.  It’s about three blocks North of the White House.
So, being the traveler [...]

Flash, time for you to die

I’ve been reading a lot of hubbub about the new Apple iPad not having the capability of displaying Flash.  Of course!  It stands to reason that it can’t, it has the same OS as the iPhone, which, also can’t display Flash.  Which leads me to think, why do we need flash?
Answer is, we don’t.  Not [...]

Reviewing ModSecurity 2.5, the book

Currently, I am reviewing a book for Packt Publishing, it’s entitled “ModSecurity 2.5: Securing your Apache installation and web applications” by Magnus Mischel.
Consequently, I am playing with ModSecurity a bit, and I will try very hard to NOT break things on the blog.
So far it’s a good book and it’s been quite awhile since I’ve [...]

Verizon Wireless’s Fail

Several months ago I ditched my AT&T 3G Card that I was using for mobile Internet and bought a Mifi from Verizon.
A) Verizon has better connectivity in New York (I was spending a lot of time in New York)
B) Verizon has better connectivity on trains than AT&T.  (Not faster, just a more persistant connection.)
Well, in [...]

Review: Vtech DS6322 w/ Bluetooth

My wife bought me this for Xmas, and it’s probably one of the best ideas ever.  The Vtech DS6322 w/ Bluetooth, is a 3 or 4 phone kit with bases (with an answering machine) that has Bluetooth capability.  Buy.com has it here.  So, after I paired my wife and I’s cell phones to the base, [...]

Instapaper is so great

I am not sure if Instapaper has apps for anything other than the iPhone, and I kind of doubt, if that exclusivity exists, that it will last any amount of time.
Instapaper is one of those new 2.0 companies that is web/app based. They provide you a free log in to their website, which by the [...]

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, [...]

Rambling on Productivity and Email (Part Two)

Managing To-Dos
As I promised a follow up post to my previous blog post here.
I stated, I try to manage things through Todo lists. When I read an email that I need to take action on, I make a ToDo out of it. Simple to complex, I make a ToDo out of it. [...]
