Server Move Updates ? Interesting Occurance
2008-09-11 08:01:00 Howdy All, My server has hit 2.5 days of uptime (I've had it for almost 2 weeks, and that's the most uptime it's had yet). I finally (after fighting with tech support) was able to get them to swap the hardware and I haven't had a segfault yet, even though they still insist it wasn't a ...

Google Chrome DoS
2008-09-03 16:59:00 Well it certainly didn't take long... I noticed this on milw0rm this morning. It seems that someone has found a DoS in Google Chrome . What's interesting is that one of the thngs that Chrome does is process separation between tabs (or so they claim), yet this DoS manages to take out all of Chrome, not ...

Server Ups and Downs
2008-08-31 17:57:00 I had mentioned that there may be some downtime as I transitioned this site (and a number of my other sites) over to new servers.

Server Transition

ASUS EEE PC
2008-08-26 02:48:00 So I finally got a ASUS EEE PC.

2008-08-22 22:54:00 Just a quick little note to share with people.

I would invite everyone who is attending SecTor to join both and share ...
Five Part Non-Technical Series
2008-08-21 02:17:00 Hey All, I wanted to do a brief repost over here to direct everyone to the 5-part non-technical blog series that I did on cons (for the most part) and con experiences.

GMail cuts threads at 61 emails
2008-08-19 20:15:00 I thought this was interesting... I don't seldom have emails that are this long, but since every survey submission is seen as part of the same resonse, I've been seeing it. It appears as though every 61 messages, the thread is cut and a new one is started. Has anyone else seen this and possibly ... More About: Gmail , Emails , Cuts

Blackhat / DEFCON are over? Next is SecTor
