It’s been a while since I posted about the 10 Immutable Laws of Security, but with an update on it I need to have it marked here for future reference.
I’ve not tried this yet, but it is worth noting here.
Tip: How to install and uninstall a program in Safe Mode
Contents of file.reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIServer]
@=”Service”
Also worth noting: Run > Net Start msiserver
Another item I looked for on the blog. The search page for finding the manufacturer of a network adapter based on its MAC address
Personal Note: Link to list of TCP and UDP ports.
I tend to search on the blog for this link, but I can never find it. That is because I never linked it here. So, here it is.
Wikipedia listing of TCP and UDP ports.
I usually expect to find it on the post about using a different Remote Desktop ( RDP ) port: Changing Remote Desktop Port.
That should be enough key words for my searches.
Update: Etherpad is Dead as of April 2010
I have been far behind in my posts. I have been intending to post this one for more than a month now, but today is the day.
Ever heard of EtherPad? It came out of private testing in early February and I heard about it through a Technometria Podcast recorded in late January.
You can create a page and by sending the link out to others they can all join in immediately without registering. They have paid options with more security and options, but if you just need to get a project done this is great.
I wrote my Florida Church IT Round Table notes inside the wiki for the schedule so they could be shared. However, I think it is a good idea to keep my own copy of notes like these. Since this blog is my notepad, I might as well copy them here.
I use this blog for personal notes that I can refer to in the future, but also so I can share them with others.
Shortcut to Norton Symantec Antivirus Rapid Release Definition Updates
Direct link to symrapidreleasedefsi32.exe
Also of interest, a link to the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool. Someone just handed me a laptop that is 7 months out of date.
We have been extracting the last of our data from SignUsUp.com today, but their site is still announcing that it is alive and well. I am attaching a PDF printout from the email we received last week.
My guess is that it is a “Last person out turrn off the lights and shut off the server.” It will be interesting to see what we have going on tomorrow.
UPDATE: SignUsUp.com is now a GoDaddy.com parking page
I heard part of the inauguration on the radio, I saw part on television, and now I have seen it through the eye of a satellite. Clicking on the image above will show you the view of the Mall from 423 miles up at a half-meter resolution.
This made me think of Isaiah 55:8-9:
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
There are vast opinions out there, even in the Christian community alone, about what happened yesterday (1-20-09), but the one I hope wins out is the view from they eye of God from the distance of eternity with the resolution of every persons heart. Obama is not the second coming of Christ, and I am going out on a limb and saying he probably isn’t the Anti-Christ. He is a man with a job to do and a country to lead, and as Christians we need to work with him to accomplish God’s desires.
