Arrgghh. Ensim to Cpanel
Arrgghh. Mark over at “TQHosting”:http://tqhosting.com has switched from ensim as the control panel for shared sites to cpanel. Have to say cpanel is incredibly powerful, but now ever path name has changed. Mark was nice enough to run scripts to flip over nearly everything, but gallery, so now I’m reinstalling that. Need to remember how…

Getting Visioneer 7600 to work…arrghh
I’ve been trying to get our old Visioneer 7600 to work and have lost the CD. Thank goodness for “dll-files.com”:http://dll-files.com or “downloadthis.com”:http://www.downloadthis.net/dllfiles.html they actually have all these random DLLS that various folks spill everywhere. The required files that are needed are: * maxkrnl.dll * www.dll-files.com – download maxcodec.dll is a good example. Used by PaperPort…

Peer to peer voip
Hey Ludwig, here’s the next big thing, it’s a peer to peer voip service. Give it a try! Skype is moving like wildfire through my family and friends. Wow. Easier than e-mail and chat (now that they are garbaged up with features). [John Robb’s Weblog] Listening to Landslide by Dixie Chicks from Home (03:50)

Firewalls won't work…
Good notes from Ray Ozzie about the problem with firewalls. Folks in homes and in business are going to discover this soon. Basically, you have to armor every PC since if you have one infected one, then someone VPNs in and the whole network is poluuted. My buddy, Jon Lazarus, has a good explanation. The…

My goodness, a record label that gets it…
I’m just not sure that prosecuting your customers and telling them they are wrong are a good strategy. Never mind what the law says, its interesting to me to see that folks download songs yes, but iTunes is doing well and most folks are happy to pay $1-2 for a ring tone for goodness sakes.…

VOIP Really Does Work
a little ludwig goes a long way: NATs and VOIP. I’m amazed. Ludwig found he could just use his VOIP phone from his phone without dinking with his firewall. I wonder how Vonage figured this out? I bet Gary Burd: NATs and Internet telephony is right that what they are doing is having an intermediary…

DNS Lookup and other handy tools on a web page
“DNS Stuff”:http://www.dnsstuff.com/. An incredibly useful site. It is has reverse DNS, whois, tracert all on a single page. I’m always losing those little command line utilities. _BTW, checkout the new winamp3 plugin that sucks down the current song I’m listening to while doing this blog and then uses Zempf to stuff it into the blog…

More router logging tools
Link Logger. This is another logger for common home network routers. Interesting to look at and see what folks are doing. I’m not sure the average home owner is going to use this, but if there were an automated service that would be great. “DShield Are You Cracked?”:http://www.dshield.org/warning_explanation.php. A great little script. It checks the…

Port Attacks
Internet Storm Center. As part of understanding what is going on, the Internet Storm Center is a pretty amazing site. Tells you what folks are scanning and where the attacks are. Pretty frightening really. Tells you the top attacked ports and what applications use them. Amazing that most of these are Microsoft ports: Top Attacked…
