Evilcoder.org

Wordpress just released a new version, 2.8.5 The hardening release. Evilcoder.org and relevant surrounding blogs had been updated already.. How far are you with the upgrade process?

I received many congratulations via various ways on my anniversary. I would like to thank you all for the warm comments / reactions / emails etc. Eventhough I do not celebrate it, it gives me a warm feeling that people think about someone who became an year older

Thanks a lot people!
Remko

A while ago I started a little test with http://freebsd.evilcoder.org, this is a mirror of the official www.freebsd.org tree, and shows the same files etc. I linked this a few times from my main blog (which you are reading now), and followed the activity. The maximum of unique users was 213, which is quite a lot for a non official mirror ..

Some minutes ago my age changed from 25 to 26 . This means I am yet another year smarter… right? right? right people?

There aint going to be a party though, I do not celebrate this already for a long time! A few people that I specially invited will stop by though, and I will head out for dinner out of the house this night with my (soon to be) wife and kiddo

Cheerio,
Remko, aged 26.

So, This was my first week on the couch, the first week ever while working at Snow that I was not on assignment or on holiday. It feels strange, as a consultant you are normally always away from the office, and only head there in case of need, or our periodic presentation day (first thursday of the month).

People also noticed an increase in my activities around my work, since I have a bit time there, and ofcourse I am doing internal assignments to help the organisation, and to learn from it in the same time…. so whilst sitting on the couch I hope that most people profit from it where possible.. but then again, I hope I’ll find a new assignment soon

So, lately I am seeing yet another increase in commenting spam. Luckily Akismet does a good job and blocked almost 10.000 entries already, but there is a certain increase. Normally older blog posts fell victim to comment spammers, but now newer ones, that I just created a few days ago are also targeted. This makes it rather interesting.

One thing that is clearly shown though is that they are all from russia, or at least the text and hyperlinks suggest that. I cannot read it at all; so reporting the spam and removing them is my only real option. Remains interesting though that a lot of russian spammers are targetting my little blog..

Dus de afgelopen zaterdag was ik naar de Reunie van Johannes Calvijn in Rotterdam-vreewijk. Het begon al goed in de regen dus het was al spannend of ik er wel of niet heen zou fietsen, maargoed afspraak is afspraak dus op de fiets erheen. Eenmaal aangekomen waren er voor ons voornamelijk oudere mensen en een aantal bekenden. Waaronder ook een aantal leraren, die je nu gewoon informeel aanspreken. Wauw het zijn echt mensen

Enige tijd later kwamen er wat meer mensen van onze leeftijd, een Robin, Leon, Anton, Wendy, Manouck, Tom, Thijs, en nog wat mensen waren van de partij. Thijs wilde ons waarschijnlijk niet meer kennen want die bleef angstvallig stil, of wij zijn heel erg veranderd maar dat geloof ik haast niet

Anyway; het was bere gezellig, we hebben een aantal biertjes gedronken en bekeken of we niet met onze lichting (1996-2001) een keer een reunie moeten opzetten, en/of binnen een kleiner groepje een avondje weg moeten gaan ofzo. Het is goed dat Denise dit in de krant las, anders was het gegarandeerd langs me heen gegaan.

Tot over 5 jaar! (Als ik het niet vergeet!)

So: I have CalendarServer in a ”working” state. The kerberos configuration was looking into the local config, which gives the wrong headers and solutions. So I adopted the PATH variable to first look in /usr/local/bin(/krb5-config), which resolved my Kerberos problems.

After that I replaced the E_NOATTR message with E_NOENT. Yes I do understand that it’s not the appropriate message, but since ATTR is not available on my system, I needed to do something to get it properly up and running.

Now with these minor changes, it started working. I managed to create three test users in the default sample configuration and I should be able to share my agenda. Something that I do not understand yet, is that when I enter a new appointment on my iPhone it doesn’t sync to my Macbook. Also what happends is that everytime I login, I get an new UUID in the account list. I removed a few, to no avail.

Perhaps I am too lazy to properly investigate and/or seek what I should be doing, and there is a serious lack of documentation for it. So the next question is: does someone has at least some guidelines on how to actually use the program so that this Stupid Unix fan can use it?

Thanks

Na bijna 8 jaar geleden gestopt te zijn als leerling op het Johannes Calvijn in Rotterdam; is er morgen een Reunie. Ik heb op de lijst van mensen die langskomen gezien dat er behoorlijk wat oud klasgenoten/jaargenoten langskomen, dus dat wordt lekker bijpraten denk ik. Eens kijken hoe we dit allemaal gaan doen. Ik heb net even in het programma gesnuffeld ook en dat lijkt erg leuk te worden; ik wist niet dat er ook kleineren konden komen dus misschien willen Denise en Luca ook wel mee (Dan wordt het een auto tripje ). Ben benieuwd, morgen zal ik een post schrijven over hoe het was!
