iptables is much better/easier to set up, but you take what you can get. Use nmap to check it’s working
A More User-Friendly Direction – on making a more usable computer. Unless you think that someone should be expected to know that they need to patch their DCOM RPC interface when all he/she wants to do is get some work done.
Unix Swiss Army Knife – Stupid bash Tricks – has a few often used patterns.
TCPView is a Windows program that will show you detailed listings of all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system, including the local and remote addresses and state of TCP connections. On Windows NT, 2000 and XP TCPView also reports the name of the process that owns the endpoint. TCPView provides a more informative and conveniently presented subset of the Netstat program that ships with Windows.
BlogPing – highlighting some issues w/ blog change tracking. Interestingly enough, I couldn’t find a PHP XML-RPC library that was implemented with non-blocking I/O. Maybe I just didn’t look hard enough.
Making an ISO out of a DMG file: the easiest way I found was to mount the DMG and then run mkisofs (from Fink). Apple’s Disk Copy will happily convert from ISO to DMG, but not vice versa.
*update*: Gabe points out that one can enable Disk Copy’s expert mode, which allows converting to a few other image types (although not ISO).
Been doing some DHTML GUI work recently. One way to do it is to, as ppk suggests, Keep It Simple. Of course, what I really want is a window manager that does all the basic GUI stuff, including, if possible, handling flexible variable-resulotion window positioning/resizing.
Adding more comments as I work with these…
- DynAPI – v3.0 is almost out; it sports comprehensive functionality, impressive browser support and is LGPL’d. On the other hand, it’s pretty massive, I’m iffy about their RPC library, and the documentation for the new version is a bit spotty currently
- netWindows – a neat looking framework, w/ some very slick features, AFL – still looking into it, yet to test; some development going on, but looks partially stalled out
- Bindows – thought I’d give it a mention; Erik, one of the WebFX guys has been working on it, and it looks like it has some great features, most prominently a complete Swing/WinForms like GUI toolkit. Alas, it’s slow as all get out, and currently IE 5.5+ only.
Of course, the current functionality I need is pretty simple, so I’ll string together some simple libs first and see if there might be a more logical way to tie all this together…
