Whole disk encryption with Free CompuSec

This day and age with all the information one has on a mobile PC there really isn’t much of an excuse to not have it encrypted. I’ve recently found a program called Free CompuSec by a German company named CE-Infosys. I [...]
I Finally Got Haiku to Run on Real Hardware!
I now have Haiku running on real hardware with a functioning display, keyboard, and mouse. The hardware being used is a Dell Latitude D600 (Laptop Battery Dell Latitude D500/D600) with Ubuntu installed to use as a build system for Haiku. The unfortunate part of it is that my network interface doesn’t have a driver so [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve visited the good old Google Hacking Database and I had forgotten about all the neat little things that Google can turn up. I’ve spent the last half hour or so looking at AXIS web cams all around the world. It’s pretty neat to see what you can find and [...]

I’m officially a Podcaster!
That’s right folks. Your’s truly is now an official podcaster. As of today I am co-host of the Haiku Podcast. I’ve been wanting to get into this for quite some time but never had the chance to until a few weeks ago when I was talking to Sikosis (a prominent member of the Haiku community) [...]
Building web based proxy sites!
Yup, that’s what I am in to now. Lately I’ve been building and promoting web based proxy sites. When I recently went through a web spaz and decided to update and reformat a lot of my sites I also decided to try and find a use for some domains I had registered but weren’t in [...]

One might wonder why I would like using such a dying technology. The answer is not that simple but I will try to explain some of the reasons I like using NetWare and OES as well, I will describe some of the drawbacks associated with it. I may as well start off by saying that [...]
UltraDefrag – An open source defrag alternative
I was surfing along the other day looking for a replacement defragmentation utility for the built in one that comes with Windows XP and happened to stumble upon UltraDefrag.
