ADT (Attention Deficit Trait) and coping with it



Modern life is pushing us to the limits. Managers, Executives, CEOs, CFOs, CTOs and all others down that food chain are suffering from a mild form of this symptom. While we all do our best to deny it, I want to talk about celebrating it. Don't shy away by calling in sick, avoiding colleagues/co-workers who *seem* like a threat but are actually not! and anything else that may bother you.

Celebrate the fact that...
  • You perform
  • You multitask
  • You manage you homes/families
  • You succeed
among others.

And I will talk about it (probably tonite) to optimize your life by
  • Working out (yeah, It's not just for those biceps/pecs/quads, its DOPAMINE!!! And your brain needs lots of it, among others)
  • Drinking (but not pushing it!)
  • Having sex
  • Taking a break once in a while
  • Not being ashamed to ask for help! (Don't choke in it!)
  • Enjoy your family/friends/kids
Life is short. You want to work and contribute. You will soon realize that you can do it all if you set things straight in your head. 24 hours can really be enough.

So hang on tight, I'll speak out soon on my vlog. :-)

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
