Unix and Linux Help, Resources and information for Unix/Linux, Mac OS X and other general computing related topics. Thousands of articles, reviews, consultants listings, skills tests, opinion, how-to's, suggestions and more. This is the Blog section, which always has the newest additions. There is new content daily, most of it exclusive to this site, and all of it is indexed and cross-referenced to help you find what you need. This is not yet another mirror of the Linux LDP or someone else's Unix FAQs. If you've never been here before, there's a lot to explore.

Hunting the Wiley 404

2008/11/21

I hate finding 404's in my web logs. There was a time when my logs were full of them. This was from carelessness and forgetfulness on my part as well as from simple typing mistakes by both me and others. I've cleaned up most of my own mistakes and done links or redirects for the mistakes of others. This has cut my error log down to about a third of 1% - that is, there's one entry in my error log for every 300 entries in the access log. Most of those are script-kiddie attacks: people looking for exploitable php or cgi scripts.

Finally, a new cell phone!

2008/11/20

We don't normally use the alarm clock. Why should we? I always wake up early enough without it but if I do oversleep, so what? We seldom have to be anywhere early.

Unix Virus Software

2008/11/18

This link may be gone if you are reading this after January 2009: BitDefender Beta Page. There are (or were) two beta products there: "BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices" and "Bitdefender for Mac 2009 - Beta Product Concept Campaign". The first if for Linux and BSD, the second obviously for Mac.

Resource Scheduling and Deletion Management in Kerio

2008/11/15

Resource scheduling is new to Kerio Mailserver as of version 6.6. It is fully integrated with the Calendar system and therefore is available in Webmail as well as the Outlook Connector. The same Free/Busy scheduler is used as ordinary calendar events. In fact, the resource is simply a special type of attendee.

Sharing Kerio Folders, Calendars and Contacts

2008/11/15

Kerio "folders" consist of mail folders, calendars, contacts and notes. Every user has their own private folders (but can share any of them with other users) and there are also Public Folders which are automatically available to all users.

E-Junkie Review

2008/11/15

While I was researching pricing and all that for my Psst - wanna work for yourself? e-book, I kept coming across E-Junkie links.

Another Filepro Conversion

2008/11/14

I got called in for a SCO to Linux Filepro conversion this week. This was supposed to be planned, but the SCO box gave up the ghost unexpectedly, so I found myself getting up at 4:00 AM on Thursday to do this.

Bad Lawyers

2008/11/12

Let me first apologize to the good lawyers out there. I know you exist, just as I know good tech support people exist. I also know that sometimes you may get blamed where you don't deserve censure; we see the same thing in tech support.

I don't heart Mastercard

2008/11/12

I am old enough to have lived in the days before credit cards. Well, that's not really true: the concept goes back to the late 1800's, Diner's Club started in 1950 and American Express started in 1958. But Mastercard and Visa didn't take off until 1969, and until the early 70's, most of us used cash and checks everywhere.

Maybe I don't want to be rich

2008/11/11

Most of my income comes from 'puter work: consulting, programming, installation and migration, troubleshooting.. but a not insignificant chunk comes from web activities like Adsense, e-books, stuff like that. Like every other lazy slob on this planet, I'd prefer to do less actual work and soak up more passive income from web business.

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

2008/11/11

I came across this in a Discover Magazine article and had a flash of recognition: I have this disorder.

I'm a PC (not)

2008/11/10

My wife has the ability to ignore TV commercials. I mean ignore to the point of being completely oblivious. I see this when she happens to be not ignoring and makes a comment about the ad or product. I'll often react with "But that's at least the fifth time we've seen that ad tonight". No, we didn't. I saw it five times, yes. She was sitting beside me, apparently looking in the direction of the TV screen, but in fact she was Somewhere Else. This happens all the time and it always surprises me. I can be Somewhere Else, but part of my brain always notices those commercials. Lucky gal..

Got root?

2008/11/10

Mac, Linux, BSD open for attack: Kaspersky is yet another in a long running series of predictions that we non-Microsoft folk are in for a rude awakening as soon as those bad-boy virus writers notice us.

OS X wake from sleep network problems

2008/11/09

At Slow Firefox DNS Mac OS X Leopard I had written about a strange DNS issue with OS X and Firefox. That's gone away, but for some time now I've had a new problem: when I wake from sleep, it takes a long time before I can do any network access. Firefox and Safari just hang with spinning beach balls, ssh times out.. it looks like networking is dead.

Linksys RV042 VPN

2008/11/08

Linksys routers can be such fun. Well, OK, maybe I'm a little unfair: all routers can be "fun". But Linksys just has that "I'm cheap and I'm going to mess up your day" smell.

Windows death?

2008/11/04

If Windows is a dead end, what's next? predicts the death of Windows:

If Windows 7 is more of the same, then maybe it's time to conclude that Windows is a technology dead end. Last spring, Gartner warned that Microsoft had to radically change Windows or watch it fade into irrelevancy. Windows 7 is not that radical change.
