We’ve all heard the insurance claim horror stories I’m sure. What seems simple and straightforward, turns into an absolute clusterf**k once the chips are down! Here’s my story so far; lets hope common sense prevails! Read more »

… the last attempt at an automatic post didn’t play nice. Not sure if it was a config error on this end or a fb issue in general (we all know it has plenty of issues!). =P
Fingers crossed, this will work though! And assuming it does, good night all. =]

So it’s now 39 days until I head for Aussie (all going to plan). So now I’m just doing a little setup so that if I get sufficiently motivated I can update the few of you who read this stuff on how the trips going.As well as the usual updates to base code and tiding up of plugins, I’ve now hooked things up so that hopefully this will now bombard facebook with whatever I post as well, just to help the couple that tend to read things on here in the loop. =P
Finally got the new passport today (yes, a rather essential piece of the puzzle). Pitty it’s only valid for 5 years (my last one ran out in Jan 2009 but had had a 10 year life). Finalise tickets on tuesday.
It should be a great trip, with among other things some great photo opportunities to be had on a 2 week bus trip covering a pile of Aussie along the way. Not to mention the exciting/scary/confusing prospect of meeting what can be best described as meeting up with some long lost family.
But anyway, more to come… maybe. Lets see if this facebook plugin works or not!

… to be in a meeting in Auckland at 9am and be back in the office in Hawkes Bay mid afternoon. Yet that’s how todays been.
7am flight to Auckland. Cab into center city, making it just in time for the 9am meeting. Quick coffee after the meeting then cab back to the airport and back to Napier. Stitting back at my desk by 3.
But anyway, I know no one really cares about such things. My real reason for dusting off the old blog was to post a couple of friggen halarious pic that I just found.
And another goodie…
Now, for all of you who have spent far too much time on the internet and delved into the world of chat rooms, have a laugh at OhMy!gle. It’s friggen gold!
Anyways, enough boredom for one night. Enjoy!

So the end of the weekend is drawing nearer. It’s been a good one; the main event being a cocktail party for a 50th. Far too much alcohol but good fun coming up with some interesting mixes. Read more »

Battery: 0%
10pm. 527548 events logged by Snort since 7pm last night (the last database purge). The vast majority of those was during office hours today; not surprising given the general peak traffic time on the network. Snorby is holding up well although ruby seems to consume a lot of resources, and I managed to crash the server by using the email a report function (it tried to run an SQL query that was over 4.8 MILLION characters long – 2 hours at max system resources and it finally tipped over). Other than that all is looking good. Read more »

I recently setup a Snort sensor on a dedicated box and initially had it all running and happy. Then I stumbled across Snorby, and thought “that looks pretty mint, I might try that out” as BASE just wasn’t doing it for me on its own. In this article I’ll try and piece together a little about what the initial set-up was and how I managed to get Snorby up and running (and how I managed to get stuck several times along the way).
