This is one of those things I just wanted to do because I thought it would be cool. I woke up this morning at 4:00 AM for no apparent reason, and could not get back to sleep. I started fiddling around with some work servers when the idea hit me that me and Alex needed…
I was doing a dual boot install today for a customer who wanted to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu linux. I installed the Unbuntu operating system fine but when I went to update the distro some thing was clearly wrong. Each time I tried to use the GUI package manager it would stall and…
I had a virus on a machine in the shop today which is very similar to a few previous virus’s we wrote about called personal security and XP Antispyware.

I was working on a project today for a client and after the initial research I realized that the project actually warranted an entire sub project account in Redmine. The reasoning behind this was even though the project would be using the same Ruby project code as the primary project this specific side project would…
I had a Backtrack user on IRC today asking about using different versions of GCC in Backtrack. Since Backtrack is based on Ubuntu Linux this article will apply to any version of Ubuntu but I wanted to write something specifically for Backtrack users.
