I am running a tutorial and giving a talk about SE Linux at SecureCon 2007 [1]. The tutorial will go for 3 hours on Wednesday the 7th of November and will cover using SE Linux in CentOS 5 and Debian Etch, it will be a hands-on tutorial where every delegate gets ssh access to their [...] After over a year I have finally got a SE Linux Play Machine online again. The details for logging in are at this link [1]. I’ve created T-shirt and mug designs with the login details too, they are on cafepress.com LINK [2]. For fun wear such a shirt to a conference (or even when shopping [...] I’ve been asked for my opinion of senatoronline.org.au which claims to be Australia’s only internet-based political party.

I asked one of the staff why it said “root”, tests revealed that the DVD caused any player to [...] Reporters Sans Frontiers (AKA RSF AKA Reporters Without Borders) has an interesting document about blogging [1]. They are specifically focussed on blogging as a way of reporting news. Their definition of a blog states that it is “a personal website” (there are many corporate blogs run by teams) and that it contains “mostly news” (most [...] I just read an interesting post by Kylie Willison [1] which mentions the restaurant Lentil as Anything [2]. The restaurant chain is noteworthy for charging what people believe that the food is worth (poor people can eat for free). I think that there are cultural similarities with the Linux community, so we should have a [...] I have just had a lot of trouble with Thumbnails on one of my blogs. It turned out that I had to install the package php5-gd and restart Apache before thumbnails would even be generated. The package php5-gd (or php4-gd) is “suggested” by the Debian WordPress package and it’s not a dependency, so the result [...] |
