Couple of things to note today
Kali Linux – successor to BackTrack – http://www.kali.org/
Should probably spend some time playing around with Ruby a little bit.
DbVisualizer – looks very handy for quick analysis of databases – http://www.dbvis.com/

Create a juju charm for Xataface under LXC
Xataface is one of those tools I can easily see myself doing a lot of work with, and not all personal. I can see a lot of benefit to setting up a process so I can spin up a new container that’s ready to go with a MySQL database, Apache, and Xataface. Revisiting this page I have linked to previously got me thinking about this, and a little more research lead to this page at Ubuntu with instructions to create a juju charm. Unfortunately I can’t dedicate the time to it at the moment.

Adding search functionality
I finally got around to adding search functionality to this blog, for whatever it’s worth. I think my categorization makes it fairly simple, but there are probably a few benefits from having it on the site – so hopefully you find it helpful. I ended up using the method documented here and changing my permalink settings… which I hope I don’t end up regretting. Definitely still have some clean-up to do, but it’s a start and got me the information I needed at least.

scottlinux.com | Linux Blog – Use Google Authenticator For Two-Factor SSH Authentication in Linux
Might have to give this a try.

Infrared/Remote control related stuff
https://sites.google.com/site/jsrsprojects/ – Specifically AndroidIR, but looks like some other interesting posts to check out, time permitting.
http://hackaday.com/2011/09/29/prototyping-a-bluetooth-to-ir-remote-control-translator/ – link to the above article, plus links to a few related posts.
The Logitech Harmony Hub and Harmony Smart Control are essentially pre-built, ready-to-use alternatives to the DIY models noted above.

Your own Dynamic DNS in 3 steps | The Nexus
http://nexus.zteo.com/blog/your-own-dynamic-dns-in-3-steps/
Interesting idea, perhaps provides a little bit of added flexibility (and reduced cost) compared to Dyn, though I don’t have any complaints about Dyn at this point. Also review the DDNS and TSIG articles on Wikipedia as well as RFC2136. Still thinking that perhaps a hybrid HTTPS method; would allow any web server one had available to potentially be able to serve as a receiver for the updates as long as it had at least enough outbound access to give the information to the BIND server, allowing for possibly a bit more obscurity in the update path; also wouldn’t require that whatever host received the update information not have BIND running (i.e., perhaps a web host) as long as it could establish an outbound communication to the BIND server – or write to some file that the BIND server could retrieve.
Interesting question therefrom – short of a VPS, is it possible to use client-side certificates to identify a client to a webserver? How about self-signed client certificates?
