Continuation

My FrogPad has arrived … time to get used to it

It’s a kind of very entertaining movie.

Appears that LogJam ( software which I’m using to update that livejournal.com ) has more support for Music players, and now it includes mpc what means that I can pull Titles from my nonstop playing Music Player aka laptop aka router aka mail server …

So, this Saturday was kind of OK. In the morning I’ve went to the Mall and bought some food, and DVDs ( The Score – medium , Fight Club – really interesting , KungFu Hustle – really entertaining ) and watched afternoon all of ‘em.
After movies session got something to eat ( some Italian pasta ) and started to play with FontForge, which is really impressive piece of software to design Fonts.
Night was spent on trying to get to know Cairo and Mono at least now I assume that I know how to draw a circle . And I can start to work on my concept analog face for Internet Time watch. I always wanted to check it that concept will render useful.

I’ve bought Mungo Jerry – Greatest hits Compilation yesterday. It is really good music I love it. Also installed Apache and phpMp2 on my “server,mpd,router” so I can now control music player from my bed with N 770

For a long while I have a lot of ssh connections trying to login with common user names. They all fail as I have secured my ssh quite well, but there is one annoying thing about that failed connections … logs , they grow like crazy! filled with ssh messages …

Today I’ve tried some grep on my logs , to count these connections, for present week it makes around 11600 dump entries from 17 hosts… so why not block that hosts.

I’ve wrote some few liner which is run from cron, it checks for new entries in my logs , and if it finds any new hosts, this guys are added to iptables with a -j DROP

I don’t have a problem about blocking any legitimate hosts, I can always wait or just turn around to remove my self from iptables -j DROP

So if you are one of that idiots, remember , you have just one bullet for each of your colts

Quite interesting news on Mozilla Corporation making money from Firefox users search with Google.

I’ve decided that del.icio.us lack of privacy, which I need for some of my links. I’ve installed my own version of Scuttle, its location. This project supports everything what I might think of, tag ( properly implemented ), RSS, easy to remember URLs, and privacy with 3 different levels. ( public, for subscribers, just for you ), and it allows you to import your del.icio.us bookmarks, what saves a lot of time.

Finally I’ve imported all my photos in to F-Spot. Tagging was the most boring job, but now everything is nicely tagged, so it’s clean, where to find what.
