WELCOME TO THE SYSADMIN’S CORNER
IN THE BLOG...
April 19th, 2010 Opera keeps old gear useful. Don’t throw those old macs away yet.
Also, read my post about bad trends in search engine robots. And yet more dictionary attacks.
CURRENT LINKS
Apache 2: securing directories, content redirection.
Linux security: disabling root shell access tutorial.
OUT OF DATE
Somewhat stale department: CentOS 5.2 yum mirror how-to, needs to be updated to work with current distro (5.4). Not fully fonctional.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THE NEW LINKS TO THE GUIDES AND TUTORIALS
Please refer to the sections on the left.
PERSONAL UPDATE
April 13th, 2010 Sorry for the downtime, folks. I have experienced a disk failure on the server that was running the site, and while I had full backups of the hosted sites on said server, when I moved the sites to my spare, I forgot to reconfigure and deploy digitalphotomac.com. As a result, this site was in nowhere land for almost two months. Doh.
Situation has been corrected (obviously!). To save time, I’ve gone back to RapidWeaver for content updates and site management. I know it’s not the best, but it will have to do for the time being. Besides, life’s too short to spend it on bare metal html editing. Hopefully, the canned theme I’ve chosen will keep it small, clean and readable.

From Canada, eh!

- To François Perraton: Frank, the OpenSuse stuff I learned under you was cool.
- To Christian Tardif: thanks for the Mandriva exposure.
- To Paul Provost: Debian and Ubuntu were, ahhh, interesting. ;)
- To Sebastien Chartrand: thanks for the Apache help... And everything else you showed me!!!
- To Jason Lee: too damn bright, and you survived Solaris, too!
- To Hakim Benameurlaine: the best Linux teacher I ever had. Although I wish he’d let go of Fedora...
- To the entire CentOS team: ROCK ON!!!
