Note to self: You live in Ottawa. Ottawa is in a big, flat, river valley. When it is windy, it is VERY windy. When you know it is going to be a rainy, windy day, you need to bring the big, industrial-strength umbrella, not the wimpy retractable one you keep in your bag for emergencies.

gman: As I was reading recentlog, I saw your song posting, and as I read it, the words formed in my brain with a British accent and in the tune of the song. I didn't even recognize it at first as Pink Floyd... the song just formed in my brain. Very strange...

And now I am going to have that song in my brain all day... ;-)

tim: Good to see you here! I didn't realize that you were. Interesting article.

Remote access HOWTO - Finished up and released a HOWTO on accessing our server manager using SSL which is a new way in the latest version of our product. Rather cool for people needing to remotely administer a server.

Security white paper - Spent most of the day writing an update to our security white paper. The version currently available (the previous link) is for our "e-smith server and gateway 4.1.2" product. We need it for the new version 5, a.k.a. the "SME Server V5". So it was a lot of executing commands and gathering text. New version will be online at some point soon.

LPI Testing - Proctored the LPI Level 2 beta exam for 8 local Linux users... It took 2+ hours for most of them. Having taken the beta exam, I can say that it is one tough exam. People passing this exam will definitely know their stuff about Linux.

Time to head home...
