<html><body><p>Titanic sank last week. Well, actually, either one of the hard disks crashed or the secondary harddisk controller thought it would be nice to start generating errors at a progressively alarming rate.
<!--more-->
I already had the successor waiting to take over from titanic. I just needed to install a Linux distribution on brittanic and all should be well. Or so I thought. A friend of mine is working on a distribution focussed on security. So I first installed Debian, changed the sources.list file and then updated to <a href="http://www.adamantix.org">Adamantix</a>. This was a bad idea for a first timer on a Debian based distro. At the end I had it so broken, I could'nt log in anymore.
Fortunately it was still routing traffic, so I could download Redhat 9. All is well so far, I just need to install some more stuff like <a href="http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php">gallery</a>.
One advantage is that I have lots more harddisk space. Titanic had one 250MB harddisk and one 540 MB harddisk, both at least 8 years old. Now I have a 6 and an 8 GB harddisk, plus the current machine has a normal BIOS, although it is also a Compaq machine, but of later vintage.</p></body></html>
<html><body><p>Lately I have been writing a Windows client for the <a href="http://www.gnucomo.org/">GNUCoMo</a> project. The client sends events from the Windows event log and some other log files to a server. The server tries to read and comprehend all incoming information and checks if there's a portscan going on, or someone broke in to your server, etc. From what I can see, the US Army could <a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archiv/11.06/battlefield_pr.html">also</a> have used this kind of software in Iraq.</p></body></html>

And from today, TrustedDebian is called <a target="_top" href="http://www.adamantix.org/">Adamantix</a>

<p>
Apparently Debian is a trademark and the Debian project doesn't want to risk its good name with a measly little project like this ;-)

Anyway, two weeks ago I failed my CCNA exam... Bummer.

<html><body><a href="http://www.trusteddebian.org/">Trusted Debian</a> 1.0 is out! See the announcement on the site.</body></html>
<html><body><p>So, the Cisco thing blew over. Yes, they included Ethereal, but if you asked them, you'd get a CD with the sources. No problems as far as I can see. A friend of mine who's a journalist has asked around (Cisco, FSF) and all seems to be alright. Anyway, this happened a loooonnnnggg time ago ;-)
</p><p>
Anyway, a lot has happened at the company I work for, some good, some bad.

<p>
Last week I've been on a Cisco course (the irony), ICND (Interconnecting Cisco network devices?), to become CCNA. Weee!</p></body></html>
<html><body><p>According to <a href="http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200205/msg00318.html">this</a> post to
the Ethereal developers mailinglist Cisco could have a slight problem. Not everything is clear right now, but
it seems possible that Cisco could be violating the GPL...... Interesting.</p></body></html>
<html><body><p>This is weird, the "hostname" ramdyne.blogspot.com gives an error message, but I can still enter my account? Oh well, let's see if publishing a new blog item will help</p></body></html>

One of the sites I created is at <a href="http://www.voice2sniff.org/">voice2sniff.org</a> Check out the strange statistics starting the second week of this year (click on the link called "wanneer" in the top left corner. Really strange, I can't explain this figure.....</p></body></html>
<html><body><p>Since today, this weblog is linked to from my <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~ramdyne/index.html">webpage</a>.</p></body></html>
<html><body><p>OK, first post to my own blog. Now what shall I write about? I have enough rants waiting, it's just that at the moment I have no inspiration. That will come ;-)</p></body></html>
