I just wanted to let everyone know that I've reached my goal to cover my bandwidth costs. I want to thank the individuals who donated, it was definitely appreciated. I also want to thank SecurityCompass for making a donation. Additionally, I need to extend a big thank you to my employer. This is my personal [...]

After my last review of Note applications, I was asked to review a few more apps, some by the author and others by friends who wanted to know if programs were worth buying (I guess they prefer I spend my money ). As last time, I'm using the Pogo Sketch for all on screen [...]

Every now and then I encounter websites that have donate buttons, especially if they provide a service. I've always wondered about this but figured "Hey, if people want to give money why not". I've decided today to become one of these "Cyber Pan Handlers" For quite a while I've been hosting DamnVulnerableLinux without any problems. About [...]

One of the biggest reasons to get an iPad, in my opinion anyways, is that a tablet seems like the perfect note taking platform. So I was rather surprised when I first turned it on and encountered Notes, the built in software. If Apple's goal was notepad, then sure... mission accomplished but I expected more [...]

This would normally go on SSLFail.com but due to a server outage, I decided to just post it here... Tim Callan, SSL Evangelist for Verisign, has posted a brief comment that Twitter now enjoys the added cost... um... protection... of EV SSL. I decided to check this out, so I visited https://www.twitter.com and was greeted by [...]

It's been a while since I posted here (I'll add another post with links to my recent postings) but maybe this one will irritate enough people to make up for it -- Last weekend involved more playing with my iPad and given that it’s my first Apple product since the original iPod mini, there are [...]

I just got an email from my web host that I now have unlimited traffic, which means no worrying about overages and no worrying about extra fees. As a result... I've re-enabled the DVL mirror, DVL 1.5 is available here

When I started this site I did something called the daily link list. Back then I had time to gather links of interest articles every morning and share them with some comments. I don't have that kind of free time anymore... but I noticed I've got a number of open tabs and decided it was [...]
