Possible Memory Issue with NoScript 1.4.9.5?
2008-03-09 07:50:00 Something I've had to accept is a slow computer at home... I currently have 1GB of RAM and I'm running Vista (I've purchased new RAM, however I purchased PC-6400 and my board only supports PC-5400 (it won't clock down)). On top of Vista, I'm a Firefox user.

Komodo Edit Now Open Source
2008-03-08 07:27:00 I just discovered this today when Komodo Edit said it had an update available... the release notes lead me to Open Komodo and I eventually stumbled across an ActiveState press release.

Google Apps
2008-03-03 00:37:00 I use Google Apps. I'm a huge fan and I think it's amazing. The features that are made available free of charge, are really no different than the features any gmail user gets, except that you get to apply your own domain name. At least that's what I used to think. Several people I know ... More About: Google Apps
Virtualization and Security
2008-02-26 01:06:00 Virtualization. A technology that is supposed to save organizations money... take 10, 20 or even 50 physical servers and run them on a single virtual server. The concept seems to make sense; after all, as someone recently pointed out to me... virtualization has existed in the mainframe world for quite some time. The problem today ...

Job Ad mentions Cisco Routers?. OH NO!
2008-02-23 07:21:00 Brian Krebs has an interesting article up over on Security Fix. Entitled, "How Not to Write a 'Geek Wanted' Ad", it discusses companies that identify the hardware / software running within their infrastructure and how this is a bad idea. Now before I disagree entirely with the article, I do want to preface it by saying ... More About: Cisco , Routers

2008-01-14 05:33:00 There’s been quite a bit of mention lately of Port Bunny, the new port scanner from Recurity Labs. The scanner is Linux kernel-based and provides a TCP SYN Scan.
