This tutorial on How to secure remote desktop connections using TLS/SSL based authentication is pretty useful. There are two advantages – 1, the data is more secure between the client and the server and 2, the requirement to authenticate before a username/password is entered stops brute force crackers disabling user accounts.
RD Tabs looks like a good tool for easily managing remote desktop sessions ala firefox. Works pretty well and having the toolbar to switch screens whilst in full screen mode is very useful.
I really wish the tv companies would increase their fees for advertising so that the politicians couldn’t afford to run their stupid mud slinging adverts which tell you absolutely nothing about what they will be able to do for the voter and that contradict each other. Some of the advert breaks are getting ridiculous with the number of political ads running one after each other. If the kids tv channels weren’t already running their christmas adverts I’d be watching the kids channels for the next week.
Politicians – grow up, stop slagging off the people you may well have to work with and get on with your job of improving the country and letting us know what you are going to be doing for the next few years.
The pumpkin carving has been done and the results are uploaded to zooomer
Finally got around to upgrading to version 3.x of MovableType. I saw the notice that they had an important security fix come out just before we went on holiday and today has been the first day I’ve had a chance to sit down and look at the upgrade path. Almost everything looks good (the interface looks REALLY nice but when I click on Kristen’s or my blog in the main menu page I get the error message
Can’t call method “entry_id” on an undefined value at lib/MT/App/CMS.pm line 1956.
Not sure why I get this message on two of the blogs when the other blogs seem to be fine.
The Friends In Tech Halloween special is now online. I had the script for a while but I didn’t want to read any of it apart from my section so when I recorded my lines I used the search function to find my name and just read those bits. This way it was funnier to listen to and hear the jokes live. Hope you all enjoy it – you should be able to easily spot my section…..
Using the power of Google Coop I’ve created a Friends In Tech search engine. Entering search terms into the form below will run a search on all of the Friends In Tech websites.
I checked this website with the released version of ie7 and was pleased to see that it seems to work ok – the release candidates were having problems with the drop down menus for the categories and date based archives, but the final version works great.
The Cruise photos are now online at zooomr. There are a lot of them and a couple of big panorama ones too so don’t view them on dialup! All the photos are in the Cruise album or you can look at each country individually. Let me know what you think and what you think of the zooomr interface. There are a couple of things I’d love to change but at least it gives me free storage for the large amount of photos. All the photos are also downloadable in their original size too.
