This week's TechMail is Configuring VOIP in Twinkle which talkes about how to setup Twinkle, a SIP softphone, for VOIP. It's ugly, but it works really well. =)

So I am now also writing for TechRepublic's new Mac blog. Same format as with the Linux tips, but they're geared towards "macs in business". Should be interesting and give me something else to write about as well. So my first foray here is Lay the groundwork for a smooth …

This week's TechMail is Save time on downloads with delta RPMs in Fedora 11 which discusses the delta RPM feature in Fedora, how to set it up and use it, and why you would want to. Delta RPMs don't make sense for everyone, but they will for quite a few …

Last month I got Kerberos working quite nicely on my macs, thank-you-very-much. This week Apple wrecked it by making Kerberos an absolute nuisance. It wasn't bad in OS X 10.5.. a bit annoying to setup but the tools were adequate. In 10.6 they threw away the half-decent GUI …

This week's TechMail is Monitor your system for threats with rsec alerts which discusses the rsec tool I forked from Mandriva's msec years ago (for Annvix). It's been updated and is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (and CentOS 5) as I think it's still a pretty good tool …

So my Flickr account now has pictures of my new in-progress sleeve. The first session was just the line work and that was done on July 18th and took 5hrs. Sessions 2 and 3 added color; session 2 was done this past Monday (the 17th of August) and took 6 …

This week's TechMail is Tweeting from the command line. Basically it discusses using a shell script to send out tweets to Twitter. Interestingly enough, one of the comments posted on that tip from a TechRepublic member discusses how he setup a private twitter account so he can control who watches …
