Moments ago, I was in the garden with my parents just chatting around till we heared pressumably 5 loud bangs (we think gunfire was the cause for that).  Moments later we heared a car with high speed moving away (took around 30 seconds) and we decided to have a look at what was going on.  It was around 100 meters away from here, and we noticed a lot of people on the street looking into the direction we saw.  A couple of minutes later some police cars showed up (uh-oh) and detectives as well. Within 5 minutes there were 7 police cars, one detectives car and a minute later including a motorbike.  We met our uncle who lives 500 meter away from the "scene" who also heared the bangs and thought it was gunfire as well.

No ambulance was spotted so far, so If it was gunfire and If it were targeted hits, someone died tonight, we do not know why. Scary that it is so close to home, first someone stabbed and now perhaps someone got shot.

Interesting detail is that my grandma also saw a car driving away with high speeds (we heared that from our garden) with a guy in front of it (I think he got on the car on "prinsenplein" and they drove off)..

I rewrote my little how-to update your FreeBSD installation to match current reality and have better examples then before.  I wrote this in Dutch since i think that there is more then enough information available on this topic for the english language, but to a much lesser extend for the dutch language.

If you are interested and/or want to give comments ;-) please checkout the document here.

I released version 1.4 from the honeynet check mirror script. New features: CC address, normal reporting, verbose and debug logging, general cleanup (as far as possible). It also contains a bugfix which is still present in 1.3 (You should update if you use this script), the LWP routine did not wanted to fetch an external file when the get function was called without ‘http://’ in it. This was added in version 1.4, you can find this file in the downloads section here.

Yay, after the last time i wrote something i got some things done. My www and doc todo list is a lot smaller (processed most of my on hold items) and reviewed some open items.  Some of them will be done in a little (like the serial communications part) and others are not likely to be done in a short notice (but those items were already open for a long time before i started to look at them at all).

I also documented several vulnerabilities in VuXML and updated some FreeBSD Security Advisories listed in the VuXML list.  And ofcourse I synced the latest SA’s into the VuXML list so that we are up to date again.  The entries i am looking at right now are a little hard since not much information seem to be available, so i will be searching around a bit ;-).

More updates will follow when time evolves :)

Technical things first ;-) I recently bought a really cheap ssl certificate which can secure my webmail host.  From today my webmail services are encrypted using a real and valid certificate.  So no more annoying nag screen with "do you accept this certificate?", the site just pops up.  This certificate was found to be 4 times as cheap as other certificates (the certificate i bought was just a little under 30 euro’s, where verisign offers certificates for like 120 euro’s at least (Which is too expensive)).

And then my mood; well i do not really feel that good at the moment.  In mutual agreement my relationship with Denise stopped (as being lovers that is).  We did not feel that the click was still there, so it was for the best that we choose this.  Also the most important one in this part: Luca, will benefit from this, since I think his mother and I made some good agreements and are talking over things when needed :), so actually this is a double feeling, with Luca it feels comfortable, with Denise it feels like a lot of different feelings, mostly pain… but that will go away, i am happy that we can still be friends though :)
