I was on holidays a few weeks ago and decided to replace an aging Mac Pro that I had been using as a Plex server with a new FreeNAS box, since I could run a jail with Plex. So I used the four 3TB WD Red drives in the Mac …

I've not had much time in the past week to work on the blog platform due to getting back to work after two weeks off. So that means future enhancements to the blog will take a bit longer.

I managed to implement a fairly basic commenting system that works well …

This is the first post on my new blogging platform that I've written from scratch using Flask and Python. I've been using Drupal to host annvix.com for quite some time (mostly for consulting client information) and have used WordPress for years on linsec.ca. To be quite honest, I'm …

I've recently found and become a fan of the Dash documentation browser for OS X. It has some neat integration with some applications, like Sublime Text and PyCharm (both of which I use), but not for Komodo IDE (which I also use). So this post is to show how easy …

Just a quick note to say that I've shifted things around and have put most of the mediawiki content on as pages on the blog. This way I don't have to worry about updating both mediawiki and wordpress. I'm getting older and have less interest in patching things unnecessarily, so …

And now I just need to share it so I never forget. =)

I've meant to do this for ages, so on my first day of my "staycation", despite vowing to myself that I wouldn't look at a computer screen this week (hey, it's not actually the technical start of my week off is it?), I fiddled this morning with BIND to try …

The following is the transcript of what I spoke on at a Tuesday night at Christcity. A few people missed it and wanted to know what I spoke about, so I'm sharing it here. For those reading who may not "get it", this was delivered to Christians. This isn't a …
