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).

Ok, so some of you may have seen my 5 seconds (if you combine the various recordings) of fame, and plenty of you are having fun giving me grief about it. For those who missed it, TV3′s piece is here and TV1′s piece is here.
So, what gets me into a suit and onto national TV you ask? Well it’s a new campaign called “Drop the Rate Mate”, and basically it’s a movement lending its support and allowing the public to better support the current draft recommendation issued by the Commerce Commission on Mobile Termination Rates.
The campaign was launched on the 11th of August 2009 and initially there are 8 organisations supporting the campaign, including Airnet, Consumer NZ, Federated Farmers, FoMA, NZUSA, TUANZ, 2degrees and Unite, and is chaired by Matthew Hooton of Exceltium. The key however is that it’s actually designed as a way for every day New Zealanders to have a voice to battle against the well financed incumbents: Everyone deserves their say! Read more »

Yeah yeah yeah. I’m a lazy git and I know it. =P
Ok, now let me think, what’s happened over the past … (checks) … 3 months (wow it even feels like it’s been longer than that). Well, let’s look at the key points I guess.
Oh, but before I do, I have to say I think the arsonists that lit fires in Victoria (Australia) should be summarily shot. It’s mass murder on a grand scale and shows a severe lack of respect for anyone and anything. In fact, lets make arson a capital offence all round. Even the idiots here in NZ who set alight buildings that were part of the Whakapapa ski fields on Mt Ruapehu. F**king dropkicks, the lot of them.
Ok, and rant and on with the rest of it…

Categories: Nokia N95, Photos, Retouching, Work Comments: 1So I’ve been doing some stuff with retouching and colour correction of photos lately, and predominantly in the area of portraits, getting skin colour correct.
As a result, I thought I’d put up a before and after of one of the basic pics I have done some really simple correction on. This photos was taken in my office with my Nokia N95.
Before:
After:
It’s by no means perfect, but it’s a start. I’ll post further revisions of this image as I get time to do more work on it. =]
