Google Squared: Let someone else do your brainstorming

2010-02-02T08:46:00.000-08:00

Google Squared offers a way to both query and submit lists of similar items. Plug in a few terms you can think of and it will try to build a table of similar items. This can be very helpful with brainstorming: from a simple shopping list to trying to include every facet of linux security in a report. I tried linux and security and had to submit a few applications that are involved with those two terms. When I did I got a fairly long list of similar applications to consider within the context of those two terms. This could be an ideal format for idea mapping as well. The end of writer's block?

Haiti - How Is Your City Disaster Recovery Plan?

2010-01-15T19:29:00.000-08:00

In a typical disaster recover (DR) plan a person would now be in charge and have complete authority over whatever resources he could muster. Those containers in the shipping yard would be broken open and any resources (like vehicles, medicines or food) be distributed. Any ships on their way to Haiti should be given priority, the military escorts would be all the paperwork needed to let them pass any given checkpoint. Buildings should be setup and clearly marked for separating wounded. Which all makes me wonder how my city's disaster plan is going???

White Hat World WebEx Addresses Data Leakage

2009-10-16T10:14:00.000-07:00

While not being a huge fan of Rich Mogull and I have long since stopped listening to his podcast for various reasons, however, it is good to get different views on data leakage. Also, Rich is great about muddling through the media garbage.

White Hat World WebEx Enterprise Site

Program:
Thought Leadership Roundtable Webcast
Panelist(s) Info:
http://www.whitehatworld.com/staff.html
Duration: 1 hour
Description:
Data leakage is one of the most pressing security issues faced by nearly every organization. From stolen credit card numbers, to lost health care records, to leaks of intellectual property and trade secrets, data leaks dominate the security headlines on nearly a daily basis. And although there are a variety of approaches and tools available to limit leaks, the marketplace is confusing with conflicting messages, overlapping product feature sets, and no shortage of hype and fear-based marketing.

In this Thought Leadership Roundtable our panel of experts will cut through the hyperbole and present practical strategies for reducing data leaks. From securing content repositories, databases and discovering stored sensitive data, to preventing network leaks and tracking user activity, we will cover the range of tools and processes available to reduce losses.

Why Is My Fedora RedHat System Out of Date?

2009-10-15T09:00:00.001-07:00

Having noticed that the usual "yum update" that I perform on my system did little more than call home I finally did some research and found that I am sorely out of date.

The Yum Upgrade FAQ spells out the steps necessary to get your system back on the cutting edge and performing regular updates again. Within an hour or so I am now back up to speed with the latest and greatest Fedora packages.

See The Fedora Yum Upgrade FAQ for more information and the exact steps.

Following these steps from a Fedora 9 system I had to do it twice to get to 11.

A decent explanation of Apple's new batteries and how they achieve long-life.

The buzz about Apple’s new batteries - Apple 2.0: "But the first MacBook Air only promised 5 hours of computer power. Apple claims the new MacBooks will deliver 7 or 8 hours on a single charge and last up to 5 years — longer than the expected life of the average laptop."
