Thanks to QuattroJames for answering my question.

Note to Self:

If an administrator has setup your Nokia (IPSO) shell account to log into clish rather than the unix shell… and you need to cpstop;cpstart… you can switch shells with the command…

Nokia:>shell
[admin@nokia]#

It’s quite a simple command, so why can’t I remember it!

Footnote:
iclid is the “router shell” – where you can do show commands
clish is the “voager shell” – where you can “set” things and make changes
/bin/sh or Bourne shell (or sh) is the “Unix shell” – where you have access to the root operating system and can make changes to the file-system or restart processes.

I’m a big dropbox fan, if you saw this tweet (via twitter) you’ll have seen I’m pushing for DropBox referrals … they entitle me to more online disk space

Today I got my 1st onel this is the e-mail I received:

Hi Nick,
Wakawaka Snook registered for Dropbox, so you get 250 MB of bonus space. Thanks to Wakawaka

I wanted to say thanks to you Wakawaka Snook, I’ll be putting that extra 250 Mb to good use shortly. If you want to know what this dropbox thing is click here, give it a try and help me get more space – w00t!

For a long time the linickx.com donation page has been empty, I’ve received a few e-mails from very nice people asking to send donations as my work here has helped them….. usually I answer click on a google add

If I or my website have helped you, and you wish to express your appreciation please consider buying something from my wish list or making a donation.

Many Thanks!

I’ve just noticed this in the Gnome 2.26 Release Notes…

2.3. Evolution Evolves its Migration from Windows

GNOME’s e-mail and groupware suite, Evolution, has gained two important features for helping users who are migrating to GNOME from Microsoft Windows environments.

First is the ability to import Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders (PST files) directly in Evolution. E-mail, contacts, appointments, tasks and journal entries are supported. Previously, the files had to be imported via a third-party utility, such as Thunderbird on Windows.

When using windows, Notepad++ is my editor of choice. When editing PHP files, it’s nice to see coloured highlighting confirming your syntax is correct.

As I regularly have to review & build Cisco ASA Firewall configs I thought it would be nice to add a little colour

Notepad++ supports a user defined language system whereby users can create their own syntax highlighting. As google couldn’t find anyone else who’d had a go at this before I thought I’d have a crack at being the 1st.

Attached to this post you’ll find userDefineLang_ASA.xml, what you need to do is..

Whilst trying to find something of mine via google I’ve noticed something new. LINICKX has now been accepted by google as a word, not back considering I made it up!

In the past if you googled for linickx – www.google.com/search?q=linickx – google would suggest “Did you mean links?“, but today I’ve noticed that is gone!

So it appears that my continued internet activity has made an impact on the wold wide web, Very cool!

Exactly 4 years ago I posted my 1st WordPress post.

Follow up post from yesterday’s tweet.

This is the list of PodCasts that I’m hoping will keep my security brain well fed…

• Security Now
• Network Security Blog
• Sec this.com
• Paul Dot Com
• SploitCast

I’m looking to improve linickx.com; I’d like to include more of my online identity, I stumbled across yibble.org and the layout / look / feel is very close to what I’m looking to do. My current theme is tumblr inspired but has it’s limitations, for example if I tweet & blog on the same day my front page has “posts” with duplicate titles

A self host tumblr or sweetcron are options except that I like WordPress and I can’t be doing with the hassle with maintaining multiple apps… this is why I stopped using gallery, gallery is a brilliant app I just don’t have the time to keep it and WP and “another” up to date and secure.

Those with a sharp eye will have noticed there are two “linickx” twitter accounts. I’ve had my main @linickx for some time, although I don’t spam it all the time the linickx.com tweet integration and integration into facebook/mugshot/add_social_site_here.com is cool.

Twitter has been in a lot of main stream media recently, and I’ve noticed that it appears to be becoming a popular replacement for RSS, many non-technicals just don’t “get” RSS but it appears that twitter is providing an alternative source of keeping up with news… rather than just answering the social question “what are you doing?” .

For a while now, I’ve warned that forwarding “beware of xYz virus” e-mails causes as much harm as the intended good; I like this McAfee post, personally I would have titled it, “Hoax or Not – Delete it!”

This post from yesterdays internet storm center diary is worth a mention, the concept is very simple and very clever; the attack spoofs a recursive DNS query which has a short request and a long response, i.e. the amount of data sent in the reply from the DNS server is greater than the attacker sends to initiate the attack; the long response is sent to a spoofed victim ip address who get’s hammered!

If you’re having performance problems with my mind maps try modifying the graphics settings…

• Choose “Edit > Preferences > Mind Map”
• Uncheck
  • Enable Animation
  • Enable Shadow
  • Gradient Colour

and possibly modify spell check settings….

• Choose “Edit > Preferences > Spelling”
• uncheck “Enable spell checking”

Hope that helps!

My WordPress/PHPBB plug-in is probably the most popular thing I’ve written and I’d like to point out a recent post on Weblog tools Collection… Here they mention possible collaboration between the WP & PHPBB developers, this can only be a good thing as I know from personal experience that it’s something the community at large want.
