This one is too easy to make fun of, we all had doubts about that little logo proclaiming readiness for Vista. Instead, I will simply send you off to Slashdot to read the article.
mysqldump tricks
In a recent post we talked about using the ever more awesome mysqldump command to dump the schema or structure of a table, but not the data. For example, if you want to create a copy of the database with new data.
I thought I might expand on mysqldump and talk about some other useful things you can do with your data. Let’s start by putting this into perspective. Since we are talking about the mysqldump command, obviously whatever we are doing is going to focus on getting data out of the database. Hence the “dump” portion of the command. This can be to backup the database, to clone it or move it, or in development/test/verification situations where you are taking part of the data and doing something with it.
List Of Latest Vulnerabilities
I have setup a page that shows the latest discovered vulnerabilities from SecurityFocus. I figured this would give anyone and everyone convenient access to the latest list of exploits out there so you can keep an eye on what’s going on and hopefully head off any troubles before they start. You can click the link in this article, and you can find the permanent link in the middle column, under Pages at the bottom of the list. Enjoy!
New Script (Source Code) Plugin
I have found a couple more plugins that are supposed to display scripts in posts well. As I am sure you have seen, sometimes I have to put scripts in the forums and link to them because they tend to get mangled and not displayed correctly in posts. I am going to try some of these new plugins and see if we can get to keeping scripts and source code related to a particular post, in that post! Stay tuned …
Network Tools Are Online
I am always thinking about ways that I can not only improve the site here, but also ways that I can provide something useful to visitors. Along those lines, I decided to put some network tools online fo visitors to use. You never know when you might need to ping or trace something from an outside source when troubleshooting a problem. There is also a Whois option, and even one to show the IP address that we see you coming from. That’s useful when trying to configure IP based access somewhere. I’ll be refining the tools and working to add more and improve the existing tools as time moves on. Let me know what you think, if you have any problems with them or suggestions, hit the contact link and drop me a line. Now, go check ’em out!
Solaris Reference added to the download section
For anyone who found the Solarum Solaris reference handy, and would like a portable copy, I split it into columns and PDF’d it so it would make an easy download. Check it out in the downloads section.
