It is a neat tool. I have started to use it for collecting my thoughts and organizing multi-step projects.

Using Perspective the wiki I installed
Friday, February 3, 2006Well, it is exciting. I actually figured out how to logon to my wiki. Create another user. Write a document, but haven’t figured out how to link it or put it anywhere but the sand box. But I’m getting there. So ends today’s 30 minute creativity session.

TECHNOLOGY: Perspective … … a desktop wiki
Thursday, February 2, 2006http://www.high-beyond.com/perspective.aspx?action=view&page=perspective.Welcome
I have been fascinated with hypertext since I first played with it in the 70s. The wiki is in my mind the logical follow on to that. Deploying one that is wholy contained on my notebook is just neat. This will allow me to demonstrate it. And, use it. From a technology perspective it was a little ugly. I spent a few hours punding on the keyboard to make it work. But, by following the docs, I did it.

Every copy of XP comes with IIS inboard
Thursday, February 2, 2006Today for fun, I actually figured out how to serve webpages from my notebook. Now it really only works when I am not behind protective walls. So, my Verizon Wireless Broadband is such a situation. So, I went over to DynDns and signed up for one of their free dynamic dns entries. That gives you a “domain name” hung off their main domain name. And, it has a little client that updates from time to time as necessary. So bingo, pop that name into a webpage, and it resioves to the webpage on my notebook.
Now I don’t know why I’ll need it. But, I have the capability should I figure out how to exploit it. Ask if you have questions.

TECHNOLOGY data encryption protection
=======================
Dear fellow turkey,
http://www.truecrypt.org/
In these days of bad things happening to good people, I would like to recommend that everyone who uses a keyboard think about what happens if … …
… … some one steals, repossesses, or otherwise removes from your control the computer you use. It can be your working desktop in your office. It can be your employer’s notebook that they have “loaned” you for the term of your employment. It can be your personal desktop at home. It can be your personal notebook that you lug around with you. Or, if you’re like me, it could be anyone of a number of computers that you touch in a day’s time.
Clearly, if some one steals your employer’s property, then it would be nice if there wasn’t much they could do with it. [You obviously wouldn’t make the mistake of keeping anything personal on something you don’t own! Would you?]
Clearly, if some one steals your personal property, then it would be nice if there wasn’t much that they could do with it. [You obviously wouldn’t make the mistake of keeping anything of your employers on something he isn’t paying for! Would you?]
Now here we have an interesting requirement. For different reasons, we want a computer to be as useful as a brick if it falls into the wrong hands. Change of employment status is just one reason why you might want to sanitize a computer before it embarrass you.
Never fear, the big turkey is here, with a solution, that is, of course, free.
So think about the opportunity and consider taking this baby out for a spin. I always recommend good backups whenever one plays with encryption. But, it definitely can make you sleep just a bit easier when things go south.
FWIW, your mileage may vary, all free advice is just that,
Fjohn
yet another fellow turkey
just bigger and dumber

Realization: “Free” ain’t so free
Tuesday, January 31, 2006With the site failure, from my pov, over at preople, which “lost” my ramblings over the last few weeks, I realize that I can’t “afford” free services. Especially free services that cause me to “invest” my time with them. I have to think in terms of ROI for all technologies. It’s real easy to get in, but hard to exit, and most hard when you get thrown out on your ear. Additionally, maybe some of my ramblings are just for me. Hmmmm

Azureus and inside the home network
Saturday, January 28, 2006Azureus client for Bit Torrent protocol
Well I noodled around and was not able to figure out a work around that would let me participate in the Bit Torrent p2p network. If you’re NATed and don’t have access to the router, like when you’re at work, or don’t have the time to jigger around with a working home network, then you are sol.
