As I've been git-ifying some stuff around here, I've run into a few tips that might be useful for other git beginners.

The first is to setup some global options, some of which are nice for folks coming from Subversion. Having a global ignore file is useful. Mine has the …

So I had about a week and a half off this year around Christmas. My initial plans were to do the family things one normally does around Christmas time, and there was plenty of that... visits with the parents and in-laws, dinners and whatnot. Too much food as usual, but …

So today I spent a lot of time manually merging the annvix.org mediawiki data into my linsec.ca wiki (in a new Annvix namespace). There are some various automated tools and mediawiki import/export stuff, but I didn't have a lot in terms of pages so taking a few …

The blog is going all new, which means it'll probably change over the next few days as I find time to tweak it and make it look the way I want it to. I like the theme I've got at the moment, but it needs some more personalization, so keep …

Ok, so the last of my git-related topics today (I need to get back to washing windows, sadly).

I've pulled out AIDE+gpg and rsec from the Annvix tools subversion repository and they are now on github:

I've just released AIDE+gpg 1.0.4, which adds support for signing and verifying signatures on the AIDE binary itself (/usr/sbin/aide), and on the AIDE configuration file (/etc/aide.conf). Thanks to George Notaras for giving me the suggestion.

Apparently someone other than myself uses these scripts …

So I was thoroughly annoyed to find a guest account with a sandboxed Safari after I had setup iCloud on OS X 10.7.2. Turns out, this only appears when you have "Find My Mac" enabled, and it does make sense (how can your mac be found if no …

So I had upgraded my wife's MacBook to Lion and discovered that, once again, Apple screwed around with Kerberos. This seems to be a recurring theme (and not a good one). After quite a bit of fighting and figuring, a few things have been sorted out. Once I've got it …
