Why do web dev still write their own auth solutions? When you’re trying to figure out how to “decrypt SHA1” you’re doing it wrong.

NRS Report

So I just got back from doing AFM’s New Racer School with Pacific Track Time. It was a beautiful day, and I didn’t have any problem passing the written test or on track evaluation. I have to say that when I started riding motorcycles almost 8 years ago

Problems and solutions

Well after having various motorcycle problems, things are finally turning around. I was able to get a new engine for my SV off eBay and BRG Racing is going to take care of me in time for my first AFM weekend later this month. I also was able to get

STAR post-mortem

Well I just got back from two great days at Jason Pridmore’s STAR School. This was my second time at STAR and was once again well worth my time and money. Unfortunately, on the second day my motor in my SV started having serious problems and ended my day

Rejected!

As I expected, Tcpreplay was not accepted for the Google Summer of Code. Most likely because compared to many of the other mentoring organization applicants, Tcpreplay is not able to accept many students- hence the overhead is too high. Of course, if you are a student (or anyone else for

GSoC 2009

Well I decided to throw my hat into the ring for being a mentoring organization for the 2009 Google Summer of Code for Tcpreplay. Obviously Tcpreplay will be one of the smallest “organizations” to submit an application so I can’t say that I have high hopes of being accepted,

Weekend Saved!

I just got back from spending two days at Buttonwillow Raceway which is located about 125 miles north of LA off highway 5. The plan was to take my new-to-me SV650 racebike out on the track and get the suspension dialed and gremlins worked out in so I can do

Tcpreast! - whoops!

Due to a slight miscommunication, the audio recording equipment I was using for the Tcprecast! Video Podcast is no longer in my possession. Until I’m able to source a new USB microphone (supporting OS X) and pop filter, there won’t be any more podcasts. :(

Plug Computing == Cabernet Solution?

So I was just reading about Marvell’s Plug Computing solution. Basically a $100 (goal is to get the price point down to $50) Linux based computer in the form factor of a wall wart. First let me say this is really damn cool. Cheap, small form factor, low power

Tcprecast! Episode #1

I’ve decided to get on the bus with all the cool kids and start my own video podcast called Tcprecast! I’m hoping to make Tcprecast! a how-to smorgasbord of all things Tcpreplay and then some. In the first episode, I cover compiling Tcpreplay and what configure options affect

Great idea, bad example

So a buddy of mine at work (thanks Mike!) sent me this cool link about how to use real math to measure the complexity of user interfaces. I read the article (feel free to go read it now) and I loved the idea of quantitatively measuring the effort required to

OK, I have to admit- priorities have really changed for the next major Tcpreplay release. You can thank (or I guess depending on your perspective, blame) Abdel Younes who has stepped up and offered to create a GUI for Tcpreplay. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Abdel I’m not

Stopping wordpress spam bots

I was having a big problem for a few months with spam bots registering user accounts on my blog. Generally, the bots would register accounts assuming (incorrectly) my anti-spam software was more likely to let their comments if they came from a registered account. As you might imagine, this gets
