Ubiquity is rocking my Firefox world!

I’ve upgraded my Folding@Home to Life with Playstation, the idea is nice, make the folding application more useful to people and hopefully harness more CPU time.

The thing is I have the following questions……..

Why has the address bar been disabled within the web browser?
I can click “more news” which opens a browser session to google news, so why can’t I hit “start” open a “go to” dialog and browse any page I like? Folding would get a lot more of my CPU time if I could watch you tube video withing the “life” interface.

After reading this from Ma.tt, I’ve downloaded dropbox, I’ve had it installed for less than an hour, but I figure they’re worth a post purely for the kudos of releasing a true multi-platform application.

Finding something that can sync between my home linux box and work windohs machine is a real pain so I’m really hoping this will be the answer I’ve been looking for; it’s not that win-linux sync’ing is impossible, it’s just that it’s usually restrictive or so complicated/ un-user-friendly that I never bother.

The only thing the service needs is some WordPress to “public box” integration and the solution is dam’ed near perfect

Error: Brain failed. System over worked, please insert PS3 for recovery.

Whoever invented SSH deserves a medal and a Ferrari, it’s a genius application that’s got out a number of holes!

Why can’t I remember this command?

In order to remove the entire access list, use the clear configure access-list command

Am I lucky that my PS3 Updated to 2.4 without a problem or not?

Note to self, the ports I need to allow thru the Un-Authenticated ACL for Active Directory SSO to work…

TCP 88,135,389,636,445,1025,1026
UDP 88,389,636 

I love the redhat implementation of cron, simply drop a shell script into /etc/cron.daily/ and your script will be executed every day (by default at 4am).

Recently I’ve been having a small problem with mediatomb, further investigation lead me to a “Inotify thread caught exception” error which can be fixed by recursively resetting your file permissions.

What I have done to fix the issue is save the following code as /etc/cron.daily/fix_mt.sh and ‘jobs a gooden’

I came accross something odd the other day, I had some Cisco IP Phones on a DMZ interface and the Call Manager was behind the inside interface. If you made a call from a 7940 to a 7940 everything worked fine, if you made a call from a 7905 to a 7940 it failled!

I ran a packet capture and found that the phone was “bouncing” the RTP stream off the firewall rather than connecting directly to the peer phone… very weird! The problem was solved by enabling…

same-security-traffic permit intra-interface

I thought I post this for some future googlers!

The DUALSHOCK3 doesn’t come with a USB Cable, how cheeky is that?!?!?!

Have you downloaded Firefox 3 yet?

I can only speak one language, I do have a french qualification but it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on; so I admire anyone who’s native tongue isn’t english yet speak/reads/writes english.

Comments on my blog pose a problem, a tell tale sign of an e-mail or comment spam is poor english, now I’m not talking about having 100% correct grammar or spelling, in-fact this post title “good english comments” isn’t correct! What I’m talking about is comments that simply don’t make sense.

As it’s late, and I’m bored waiting for a customer call back, I thought I’d write about something both amusing & irritating. Recently I purchased a copy of Network Security Technologies & Solutions from Amazon, as I’m in no hurry I opted for the free royal mail delivery option. When I got home I found the Amazon box on my door-step and surprising the the box was open!!!

You hear about things going lost in the mail regularly and I can only presume that someone responsible for sorting the parcel spotted a rather heavy box from Amazon and thought it must be some expensive gadget, how disappointed they must have been to see that it was a dull old Cisco book

Cool, at least some of my web pages are standards compliant again! … who’s idea was this new look anyway!??!?!?!
