Pretty wild that my last post was from nearly three months ago. Oh, my how the time has flown. I’ve been spending a bit of time gearing up for launching a new project of mine and that’s ended up taking quite a bit of mind share.
Stay tuned for more code and other goodies as time permits. If you happen to be interested in Snort IDS, check out http://ultrapig.com, too.

Along with changing of the seasons, I decided to move my current web log from Drupal over to WP.
The features for importing posts in to Word Press limited me to using Drupal’s RSS feed to download all of the current posts and import them in. While it sounds good to start with, I ended up stuck with the fact that Drupal happily limits you to the number of feed items to a maximum of 30, no matter what you do.
I located the actual values to the Drupal configuration at “modules/system/system.admin.inc”. Read more on what I did to change it.

After recovering from a particularly nasty crash and migrating my sites and data over to a new server, I became curious at the number of networking connections that it received, and what was going where. Sure, there’s a lot of tools out there to give me that sort of information, but sometimes you would really just like a pretty (if informative) picture of information instead of dry old text scrolling across the screen.

Had a system go down over the week, so have been scrambling around behind the scenes to get things back where they were.
More here later.

Up until this weekend, I was completely convinced that the 0xDEADBEEF was more a programming joke than an actual system error message. This weekend, I learned a lot.
Was reloading the wife's grandmother's computer after a particularly nasty crash. When I attempted a Windows repair install, the mythical 0XDEADBEEF reared its ugly head not once, but three separate times.
So, yeah. I ended up formatting and wiping out the whole thing.
they lost some stuff, but the whole experience was somewhat surreal.
