Wireshark is a very versatile utility to monitor all the neighborhood network activity, including disassembling packets and viewing data transmitted from anyone who is connected on your LAN (or Wireless LAN). I’m using Wireshark to monitor the activity of the network, and I explained the packets transmitted between the peers.

Before I forget to mention it: Ubuntu 9.10, the Karmic Koala is out. Cheers, fanfare, and so on. Now some people don’t like it a bit because of Mono. For those, Debian developer (and maintainer of Mono on Debian) Joseph Michael Shields has two answers:
1. It’s stupid.
2. Get Chicken Little Remix 9.10 – Karmic Kraienköppe instead.
Canonical’s Ubuntu project released the final Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition, featuring faster boot times, improved audio and 3G connectivity, an enhanced Netbook Remix, and more robust cloud support, among other features.

If Microsoft had come out with a free service pack to Vista and called it “Windows 7” it would be one thing. But we just don’t see enough of a change to warrant the purchase of an entirely new operating system.

When Canonical launched Ubuntu 9.10 on Oct. 29, Centrify Corp. — maker of Microsoft Active Directory-related tools — raised its hand and vowed to support Ubuntu Server Edition 9.10.

Today @ work we had a crashed PC. The PC served as a wall monitor to show the call central display via remote desktop. They said to me: Go fix it, no matter how you do it, fix it!. So I installed ubuntu, but the pc on win2k was called sparky. They vnc’d into it just by typing sparky. Now for some strange reason that doesn’t work anymore, and I did not had time to fix it. So I made a script that sets the IP as wallpaper so that they can type that in ultravnc. (Later I thought that it would be better to auto-start uVNC to the central at login, but that did not came up on my mind earlier.) (And even later I discovered the /etc/hostname file was empty, and after I set that with ‘sparky’ it worked again…)
