shipping the source while it’s still hot

Wednesday, April 21st, 2004

The Open Source developer mantra is said to be “Release early, release often”. With this in mind (and with gareth‘s persuasion) I have now released my VNC Session Manager on SourceForge.net. Besides the time taken to organise all the files into CVS (with all their history) it was relatively painless and hassle free. Many thumbs [...]

I have been punting for IPv6 support for ViRC for a while now. In late 2002, Mr2001 sent me the Sockets.pas file and I IPv6 enabled it. It took until early 2004 until we had a build of ViRC using the new sockets library. Unfortunately the front end did not support IPv6 and hence the [...]

So i’ve dived in and I’ve installed mod_access_rbl using some very easy to follow instructions. As Blars mentions ‘This module will perform a dns lookup every time a “deny [...]

telemarketing spam

Friday, November 28th, 2003

I suggest that you print out this anti-telemarketing counterscript and keep it handy for the next time you get called by a tele-marketer, or as happens in my office: the next time a not-so-tele-marketer steps through the door. Due to my very kind posting of the overnet gui clc source code, I have had many [...]

overnet gui clc

Friday, October 31st, 2003

(in response to this post) okay so the main thing that the overnet GUI is missing is a command line client that can be used externally (i.e. certain commands can be scripted via task scheduler, etc.). So after a bit of pain I’ve made one: binary, source I can’t get it to read the console [...]
