This has got to be the best disclaimer I have read yet...

I have been reviewing Solaris hardening guides to try to get a couple of better ideas for my customized hardening scripts. While reading, I ran across a link to softpanorama.org. I was glancing at the article which almost looks as if it was sponsored by Microsoft :)

Anyway, to cut to the chase…

Post December Meeting (aka: stuffed)

Well, that was quite the meal:

  • Good food
  • Good company
  • Good wine
  • Good conversation

Pretty much sums it up. I’m sitting in front of my computer wondering how long it will be until I feel like a normal person again. I have to order a smaller meal next time I am down there.

For those who were wondering where that post I mentioned regarding the Apple Leopard Server OS, the link is “I’m not a mac zealot. Really!” Of course, there are those who doubt, especially after the mac promo info I gave out at the meeting.

I'm not a mac zealot. Really.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks… Work, outside activities, visitors, etc.

First thing. I have posted the poll for the social meeting. Visit the site and log in to vote. Voting closes in 2 weeks. Just enough time to make a decision and send it vis the mailing list.

Next thing. I need a new job. My contract ends in just over a month and I don’t have anything lined up yet. On the plus side, I should have no difficulty getting to a few training events I want to go to, but thats just a small benefit. I still need gainful employment. A few things have cropped up, but nothing has come of it so far.

LinuxFest 2007

I was sure I had posted about this, but I guess I never finished or I dreamed about it. Pretty much the same thing I would guess.

The event was October 13 in Toronto and had a pre-conference part the night before as well as a post conference party. I skipped the pre-conference party as I was visiting my brother and it would have been pretty rude to drop in and say “Here’s my junk, I’ll see you later.”
