I sync Evolution with a Samsung Epix running Windows Mobile 6.5. Works fine, at least with the USB cable - I haven't tried Bluetooth.

I'm running Debian Squeeze.

Because, of course, all those baby boomers were completely uneducated.

Judging by what a complete goddamned nightmare they're handing off to my generation, I don't really find it difficult to believe.

According to Marty, when asked about IPv6 support at this year's EDUCAUSE Security conference, Snort will happily inspect IPv6 traffic if you configure the HOME_NET to be an IPv6 network.

There's no explicit option to turn it on, because it shifts from v4 to v6 when the rest of the configuration is set up properly. This subtlety seems to elude people. Well, either that or the guy who initially wrote the software doesn't know how it works.

Snort is nowhere near dead - it's still used in tons of production environments, especially in higher ed (where we've always got plenty of Unix nerds on hand, and never have any money).

I would imagine Marty's objections probably have something to do with his desire to move people from Snort to the commercial IDS offerings from Sourcefire. That easy upsell doesn't exist if people start off on another product.

I ride a bike to work, year-round, in sunny Buffalo. Winters aren't bad, just dress appropriately for the temperature and get some studded tires for traction.

Like many higher education institutions, the college I work for has IT lumped in with the library and reporting to a common vice-president, who reports to the senior academic VP.

It makes things... interesting. While librarians and IT people are both concerned with the information flow within in the college, our technophilia and their technophobia are not often compatible.

Sheesh, offtopic already? How about if I say "Go Habs!" I hate the Pens, anyway.

The most amazing thing about the Jersey Devil is how it appears fierce, and then utterly vanishes once they playoffs start.

Tumours? Does this only work on Canadian cancer patients?

You mean all white, with pink eyes?

I spoke to some fellow higher education IT people last week who were putting all of their documentation into Confluence. I haven't used it myself, but they were very happy with it as a cross-platform solution.

There was a fugitive named Bucky Phillips who escaped from a New York State prison and was roaming around Western New York. People got a big kick out of it, saw him as a folk hero, printed up "Run Bucky Run" t-shirts, the whole thing.

Then he started shooting at cops, and killed a trooper.

Funny how he stopped being so relatable after that.

I'm afraid not - the tuner in mine was a standard Hauppage PVR-150 model, and I added a second one myself. I've never heard of an "XCode 2100".

Did you try asking on the MythTV mailing list? When I built my first mythbox with ATI TV Wonders, they were very helpful.

I use an HP "Media Center" PC, running Ubuntu with MythTV and accessed with a Microsoft Remote Keyboard. Two analog tuners for cable, and an HDHomerun hooked to a powered antenna for over the air HD content.

MythTV runs on virtual desktop one, and a web browser on virtual desktop two.

Or, you could stop printing out all of your emails.

Oh, who am I kidding. We've still got professors at my school lecturing with transparencies they produced on typewriters. It's going to be years before the entirety of the faculty is willing to handle paperless communication.
