The AF is trying to get control of social media
Slashdot had an article Air Force Wants Hundreds of Fake Online Identities but I think this is a misnomer. In light of recent frauds committed by Facebook criminals abusing Air Force officers’ identifies I think this is a good move on the part of the Air Force and I believe we’ll see several government organizations and […]
A little free media relations advice for Time Warner’s CEO
Time Warner’s CEO is pejorative in his comments about Netflix. Sorry Jeff, being dismissive of a new technology isn’t smart business it only serves to show your company as defensive and behind the times. Anyone recall Steve Ballmer’s reaction to the first iPhone in an interview? He dismissed it as being less than significant because […]
Back from SANS Network Security 2010
I’m back from SANSNS 2010. I took the 508 Computer Forensics Investigations and Incident Response course. It was a great course and like all SANS training you get hit with a huge volume of material is a very short amount of time. I kept my head above water through most of the class and did […]

Goodbye VersionTracker.com
I noticed today that my RSS feed from Version Tracker was empty so I wandered over to the web site and lo and behold, she’s gone. CNet has gobbled up a piece of Mac history and re-branded it. They didn’t even bother to redirect Versiontracker to Mac software. My old bookmark took me a listing […]

Getting write permissions on an NTFS drive in Snow Leopard
I bought a new 1T USB drive to use for storage of vm images and other large files. I need to move between Windows and Mac machines. I knew I couldn’t get a Mac version of a usb drive because those are typically formatted for HPFS which a Windows machine cannot read. I opted for […]
iOS update
Well here goes, I’m starting the iOS upgrade on my iPhone 3G. Let’s see how it goes. I don’t expect any big trouble, but I’ve had my share of upgrade troubles this week already…
WordPress 3.0 update
The first attempt at a 3.0 update turned into a white screen o death. After a few changes to the plug-ins folder we’re back. The 3.0 update still works with the iPad and iPhone WordPress apps. I’ve tested both with this site and things appear to be running well. I’ve also taken the time to […]
