This is the presentation that I gave earlier this week at the ITCi Conference in San Diego, California. It was well received and fostered a lot of interesting discussion.
My recording of the event on my laptop had enough problems as to be distracting, so I gave up on using it to export a real-time presentation. [...]
So tomorrow, the iPhone goes back just under the two-week-trial wire and I will be in a dead zone of no phone limbo until my Nokia n95 arrives when I’m at my conference in San Diego next week.
No phone for a few days. That will be an odd feeling. I wonder if I [...]
I am out of patience with the iPhone. It’s fired.
no MMS. Instead, you get directed to this joke.
no GPS
no tethering without hacking it
no applications until at least Feb ‘08
only EDGE networking
Seriously. How can any phone be released not having MMS? It was the straw that broke my already highly annoyed camel’s [...]
If you’re a little rusty on software raid, as I have been spoiled by hardware raid for some time, good documentation on newer methods can be a little hard to find.For a simple whole root disk mirroring walkthrough, this is a very good guide…. I’m sure you’ve been there before.A novel example of some of the rampant plagiarism in blogs can be seen here, though they do correct the clobbering line to /boot/loader.conf that, for the uninitiated, will clobber (as in erase the contents and replace it with the echoed text) any previous configuration you had there.All I have to do now is order some spare SATA drives for when Bad Things Happen, and I won’t have to think about it for a while besides occasional updates and when I’m actually being productive.Getting more done.
As I mentioned earlier, the Lightning and Provider extensions are handy for getting meeting information flowing with non-Microsoft software.My entry was a bit light on screen captures and detail, so if you were having trouble following it, check out this step by step guide.
This is no simple task as there is a lot of sales material that will promise anything, but from the presentation of the architecture and real-world benchmarking, a clear image may present itself.Two of the large commercial research firms authored materials were also gathered to assist in this mater, though one of them was shockingly inaccurate, unfamiliar with the history and utility of the tools in practice, and offered some very poor advice in its conclusions. Unfortunately this is all too common in my experience with commercial research, so the wise buyer of capital investment level hardware and software would be best served to spend the time evaluating each architecture, dependancies, and challenges if they are able.That being said, I will begin my presentation: A SIM implementation has the ability to solve a variety of problems at once due to its evolution from a log management platform.
TorrentFreak seems to have the most involved and comprehensive tale of what they contain.This is a great example of people who do some things well getting caught doing things that are not their strengths.If you are going to establish an organization that will become a target for, arguably, some of the worlds most skilled and experienced technophiles, you should plan accordingly.That they were ever outed at all is a failure, but things like this (quoted from digg article) show how if you are untrained, ignorant, or sloppy, it can bring down an entire enterprise:The genius employee of MD subscribed to a torrent site using the gmail account he had setup as an email archive as the username and used the same password for the torrent site as he did for the gmail account…. Price and availability must be correct or it will be circumvented by someone with time on their hands that will make money created by those that can not, or will not, purchase what you are selling in the way you choose to sell it.This is the gist of all of the DRM, piracy, and putting-the-gene-back-in-the-bottle problem.
This seems like a good idea in any case to be able to revert to a backup in case of things going horribly wrong.Second, export a vcard of your entire address book like so:Then go ahead and sync again with your phone…. You should then be where you want to be at this point.In the future, I will only be syncing my phone with one computer and then just copying the contents of my ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book on that computer to the other computers where I want a back up or reference copy.This should solve your iSync problems.
Once the software is run it will extract data from the Apple Keychain and system settings in order to provide the examiner fast access to the suspect’s critical information with as little interaction or trace as possible.[...]MacLockPick takes advantage of the fact that the default state of the Apple Keychain is open, even if the system has been put to sleep.It also makes use of the openly readable settings files used to keep track of your suspect’s contacts, activities and history. These data sources even include items that your suspect may have previously deleted or has migrated from previous Mac OS X computers.I contacted Apple’s security team to see if they were aware of this, if it works as described and, if so, why would such mechanisms exist in any responsible operating system.
So my DWL-G550 arrived today.”D-Link DWL-G550 High-Powered Wireless-G PCI Adapter” (D-Link Systems, Inc.)I threw it into the system and it powered up and loaded the correct Atheros drivers…. (Personal meaning you’re not running a authentication service like RADIUS, EAP or LEAP (which is just another kind of LEAP by Cisco), or 802.1x, but using PSK [Pre-shared Key] or a certificate.Second, now that you have your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf configuration figured out from reading the instructions or from that link I mentioned.
