Supernova conference notes
SUPERNOVA 2002 – by pulver.com. Hey the cool think is that the conference was actually both blogged and group blogged, so read it and weep. See Pulvar for more general information since the blog seems to be a temporary site with no DNS address, just a TCP/IP address

Linksys Router updates can silently hurt you…
PPTP disabled by default. Turns out that when I upgraded the firmware to my Linksys router last month, they added a new parameter buried somewhere deep that was disable PPTP so all my VPN access would hang. This was enabled by default. Amazing what some folks do. Probably in the name of security, but talk…

Windows remembered!
Doug’s Dynamic Drivel. It is nice to see that Fred Langa at least remembers what Windows in the early days was like. I’m sure it will be lost in obscurity, but the work of those folks was amazing.

Updates to b2mail-rt.php OK, I
Updates to b2mail-rt.php OK, I did some quick hacks to get b2mail to accept any email and this is now running on Geek Fishing.
