Widgets

When I was surfing the web the other day I came across Apple's Widgets, I wanted some for my PC so I searched and didnt find much, yesterday I came across http://widgets.yahoo.com

IT problems


I love IT at my work, our Exchange server is having problems, cant locate my contacts,and my calendar is out of sync and cant be shared,thank god for backups. Next my permissions are changed so that I cannot save to my desktop and I have this standard Orweillian desktop controlled by the man.

Wednesday Morning


Last night I played around with Whoppix, it's a security based Linux (Knoppix).Whoppix is made for penetration testing.I realy like this distribution because of the amount of tools around on the disk. It has tools for enumeration, scanning, wireless, and even a vulnerability DB.Some of the tools are Nessus, Nmap, also Nmap with a GUI. Netcat, Snort, Most open source databases and tons of other software.I was analyzing C code most of the night to learn more about control structures. After that I pretty much relaxed with my lovely lady.
