Five ways SE Linux may surprise you

Frank Mayer of Tresys has written a great article on the techtarget.com site about SE Linux.

It seems mostly aimed at managers and novice users and explains how SE Linux isn’t really that difficult to use but is however a foundation technology that is needed for secure systems.

Check it out!

permalinks in wordpress, Apache redirection, and other blog stuff

When I first put my new blog online I didn’t think to set the custom permalinks option to avoid having /index.php in all URLs (which wastes a few bytes and looks nasty).

So I decided to change to better URLs but unfortunately many people have already bookmarked the bad URLs. I wanted to give a […]

lemonup.com – pirates

The URL http://linuxresource.lemonup.com/ currently has a mirror of my blog. Disregarding the DMCA take-down notice I sent them a week ago (which is also mirrored on their own site) they have again copied the content from my site without permission (I only allow non-commercial use). But this time they go even further and claim copyright […]

The reason for this was that someone was mirroring my blog and putting google adverts on the copy. Before I started putting Google adverts on my web sites I wouldn’t have been bothered about this.

I asked for a show of hands, who has already decided which party they will vote for at the next federal election (about 12 people […]

In a comment on my blog post “a Heartbeat developer comments on my blog post” Alan Robertson writes: I got in a hurry on my math because of the emergency. So, there are even more assumptions (errors?) than I documented. In particular, the probability model I gave was for a particular node to fail. So […]

comment spam

The war on comment-spam has now begun. It appears that Blogger might have some anti-spam measures of which I was unaware. Otherwise it’s a strange coincidence that I get a huge number of comment spams for extremely hard-core porn from the Ukraine so soon after starting a WordPress blog.

About 24 hours before the spam […]

new blog

I am starting to move my blog to my own WordPress server. Here is the new URL for my main blog (feed), and here is the new URL for my Source-Dump blog (feed) which is now named just “dump”.

WordPress gives me the power to change all aspects of my blog’s operation (including adding plug-ins). […]
