This last week I have been horribly sick. The kind of sick you just want to curl up and wake up when they find the cure. But since I still haven't perfected my krojenic chamber, I curled up with the newest version of Virtualbox and let the Ubuntu juices flow.... While Ubuntu did not cure my cold I did come up with some interesting observations.
A bit of perspective
In the last month I have been "forced" to Mac by my employer. I am not complaining, but having been a...

Connecting Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to a Cisco VPN (UDP)
I recently had to VPN into a network running Cisco VPN using the Cisco UDP protocol. I thought to my self "Great Ubuntu already has support for Cisco/IPSec VPN, I'll just plugin in the settings and run." Very rarely do thoughts like this work when you are running any distro of linux.
I did my homework and discovered "vpnc" the Client that connects to the VPN, and I discovered it had a front end to connect to the...

Sanitation
Everyone loves to loves a clean environment... but no one loves to clean. I am no exception. But I understand the need. After working on PHP for years, and discovering no really good libraries out there for data sanitation... I have written my own. (I tried to use OWASP's ESAPI... but gave up...)

Validation Class for PHP Remix
As a Web developer, I have seen my share of crappy and insecure code out there. (Especially working on other people's code.) One of the biggest problems and security breaches I see is the failure to properly validate data before using it. Earlier this year I started to build a validation library and posted it up on this site. In my programing "evolution" I have learned a few techniques that (in my opinion) are superior to the...
