PPTP VPN Routing in Ubuntu using Network Manager

« 1 October 2009 | 12:19 | Site News | 1 Comment »

Back when I was still on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid), I had near endless problems with PPTP VPN access using the network manager. I wasn’t alone, and I guess I was pretty fortunate that it worked at all. My problem with it was that routes never worked correctly so ALL of my traffic was routed through [...]



Go Vote for My Will Code For Green Project

« 29 July 2009 | 21:48 | Site News | No Comments »

So, I entered the Will Code for Green contest last week at Jason’s recommendation. It was pretty clear that if we could come up with some ideas, we stood a real chance of winning the contest.
That’s where you, my trusty reader, come in. 20% of the scoring for the projects is based on the voting [...]

« 14 June 2009 | 18:28 | Site News | 2 Comments »

UPDATE 2009-10-01: I’ve just gotten Air running on my Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) install. Apparently Adobe updated their installation instructions to include all the required steps now. Good for them! So, this post isn’t really useful anymore, but I’ll keep it around anyway, just in case.

It is modeled loosely off the MercuryBoard code and, for the most part, has served me pretty well. Recently, I’ve tried to revamp it with more object oriented code, integrating PEAR and [...]



Wordpress Users; Check Your Registered User List

« 23 March 2008 | 7:50 | Site News | 2 Comments »

I recently got an email saying that I had a new user register here. Out of curiosity, I checked who it was, but neither the name nor the email was familiar to me. The username was alina77vere9uk and the email alina77vere@gmail.com, which to me looked like the kind of email address that you’d see on [...]

Well, as you can plainly see (assuming you’ve been here before), the site has gotten a facelift. Now that Aaron has his blog up and his looking really nice, I felt compelled to try and jazz up mine a little too. It’s not done, but it’s nicer than it was. I’ll probably add a touch [...]
