Pictures from the 2010 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals

Here are some pictures I took at the 2010 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals this weekend up in Carlisle, PA.

It's great when people in the Snort community step up and explain some simple things out there. There are mistakes, it comes with the territory. If you choose to be one of the people that tries to write Snort rules, you also choose to be someone who wants to learn how to do it better. That's why I write this blog post, not to bash the writer, but to teach.

I noticed this post today over at the "Tao of Signature Writing" blog, and to be honest I glanced over most of it figuring it was a rehash of things I've already read or things that have already been written from countless people about "Here's how you write Snort rules!".
