SSH Login Attempts
I think I have written before about DenyHosts , but this evening, it prevented somewhere around twenty thousand individual hosts trying to login to one of my servers. The hackers have gotten smarter - that they used to just try from one host, which was trivially blockable, even manually.... (More)

Walks and Drawing
On 6/20, Noah walked up the stairs without holding onto the wall or railing.  His hands were full with a water bottle, and he just carefully stepped his way up. Noah loves to go on walks and will often beg to go out, and put on his sandals before getting an answer. He's starting... (More)

Fourth Pregnancy: Third Trimester
Home stretch, here we are!  This will be the first time my third trimester is entirely in the summer, so I was glad for that stretch of cold, rainy May. I went for my glucose tolerance test yesterday, and Jonathan was jealous that I got to drink the "orange soda."  Too bad he couldn't... (More)

Multi Update
Noah now has many more words that I can write down. They are still mostly only understood by me and Jonathan, but he's using his mouth to communicate. Most words have only the initial consonant and vowel sound (moo for "moose") and some have only part of the word (mo' for "remote") so much... (More)

Noah Says More, Jonathan Says Less
Jonathan wants me to write that he says, "blaller, blaller, hee haw haw." Noah, on the other hand has some more words and signs.  Well, one sign, cereal .  Words are "down" (dow), "beep" and "bird" which really sounds like (bee.)... (More)

What Do People Search For?
I just updated Usermin, and so wanted to make sure that my custom modules didn't break.  And in the process, poked around through my webalizer module, which shows the things that people type into search engines to end up at our blog as well as the number of hits for certain pages. ... (More)

VMWare 1.0.5 Server patch for 2.6.25 kernel
I had the privilege of installing VMWare 1.0.5 on a brand new 2.6.25 kernel.  I downloaded the 2.6.XX patch for vmware 1.0.4 , applied the one change from asm to linux in vcpuset.h.  That had worked for me before when using 1.0.5 on a 2.6.24 kernel, but today I downloaded a 2.6.25... (More)

Noah Likes Blenheim
Whenever Daddy opens a bottle of Blenheim ginger ale, Noah takes several sips, too. Tuesday (4/2) Noah thoroughly inspected the dishwasher handle.  You can tell he's in a family of engineers! He can say "mommy" now, though not consistently.  He also says... (More)

LifeType 1.2.7 released
After a slightly hectic day yesterday, when I noticed some strange behavior on one of my servers, we released a new version of LifeType .  While I am not impressed that the bug existed in the first place, I think it is pretty neat that a development fixed was released within 4 hours of... (More)

Debian Installed Relatively Painlessly on my Sony Laptop
I am sure this will excite many of our normal readers, but I have finally (after four years) switched my laptop to Linux.  Now that I am using it everyday, it is much nicer to be in this environment, instead of having putty windows all over the place.  Perhaps if I had a better... (More)

Noah Update
Last week, Noah opened the childproofed cabinets in the kitchen.  It was no fluke - he closed it after the first time, and then deliberately repeated his action.  So we have disabled those and instructed him not to open those cabinets (he is obeying so far.)  These are the... (More)

Taxes
Whew... For some reason, taxes took longer than they have in other years.  Part of the time was spent trying to get out of a federal tax penalty for not calculating the estimated taxes correctly.  We spent 14.63 hours (courtesy of worklog ), mostly together working on them.  I... (More)

Perl Debugging
Our photo album wouldn't publish on this last update, and it took quite a while to figure out what the problem was.Originally, the error had to do with the library Encode not being compiled correctly, and I had to run enc2xs on the Encode module.  I am not sure whose "fault"... (More)

VPNC / Resolvconf / Set search string
I found what I would call a bug in resolvconf today, though probably most people don't run a VPN server like I wanted to, so no one ever noticed before. The internal DNS server at one of my clients somehow loses its connection to folks connected via the VPN.  That is an unsolved... (More)

Christmas Present from Verizon
For some reason, Verizon thought it would be a good idea to reconfigure their network early morning Christmas Eve (or late the night before, I am not sure which).  Unfortunately, they transferred me to a broken gateway, which has 3 minutes outages every fifteen minutes or so.... (More)
