I’ve been getting attacks against my sshd server:

Failed logins from these:

   admin/password from 134.21.2.227: 2 Time(s)

If you have one of these common accounts, shut off logins from them:

## lines added to /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin no
DenyUsers admin guest test user
## EOF

Attention Madisonians!

For some time there has not been anywhere to buy a cup of coffee / breakfast downtown after 2am. This has changed. Now the
Come Back Inn is open 24 hours friday and saturday nights.

That is all.

UPDATE 2004-07-26: The omelets aren’t great, but they have a lot of veggies in them. And the coffee is bottomless.

More photos.

* votes/person :=
   ( (electoral college votes for this state) /
     (population of this state) ) /
   ( (total number of electoral votes) / (total us pop) )

If you have problems getting your .htaccess files working, don’t forget to insert “AllowOverride All” into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

I’ve been having fun with mod_rewrite. For example:

## public_html/archives/.htaccess
## from halcanary.org
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase   /
RewriteRule ^cat$ /archives/cat.php [L]
## EOF

So /archives/cat is just a pointer to /archives/cat.php.

The whole /p/* directory is just a pointer to a single php script.

Chris Wilson put up some photos taken around town. The quatiy is poor, but the subject matter is often very cool. The type of things I have seen around town, but never thought to photograph.

Mono has just hit 1.0. It is now time for me to abandon Java and start developing in c# instead. Let’s get started:

## Lines added to /etc/yum.conf
## visit http://www.mono-project.com/downloads/
## for the correct url for your distro and version.
[ximian-mono]
name=Ximian Mono
baseurl=http://mono2.ximian.com/archive/1.0/fedora-2-i386/

After updating /etc/yum.conf, I installed everything mono, willy-nilly.

$ sudo yum install mono*

Now we play with mcs, the mono compiler. Here is Hello World:

/* ~/code/c-sharp/Hello.cs */
/**
   Hello World in C Sharp
**/
using System;
class  Hello {
    static void Main() {
	Console.Write("hello world\n");
    }
}
/*EOF*/

Compile and and run:

$ mcs Hello.cs
Compilation succeeded
$ ls
Hello.cs  Hello.exe
$ mono Hello.exe
hello world
$

Yea!
