Stupid bot gets banned
Posted on 13.10.2009 20:13 in Spam521 views, 1 comment(s) , add a commentToday one bot, which identified itself as Sean's Agent/1.0 (compatible; SA 1.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; made 10459 requests to one of my sites within two hours from the same IP address (78.84.130.92). The user agent comes from a C# sample. This is a good example how good code can be used for bad purposes.

Posted on 25.09.2009 12:25 in Buzz454 views, 6 comment(s) , add a commentA couple of months ago I installed PGP Whole Disk Encryption (WDE) for Mac OS X. This software encrypts the entire hard disk and requires pre–boot authentication before allowing Mac OS X to boot. It worked well on Leopard: no slow downs, no faults, simple and effective. I like it.
Now Snow Leopard is out. PGP Inc promised to release a Snow Leopard–compatible version of WDE together with the Snow Leopard release. They failed. Instead they offered a beta program where anybody can sign up. I signed up twice. No good. Not even a single...

XDebug and Zend debugger play nicely together
Posted on 17.09.2009 19:01 in Zend452 views, 3 comment(s) , add a commentI am very happy with Mac OS X 64–bit Zend debugger and Zend Studio. It is a perfect combination for the serious PHP developer. However I miss certain features of XDebug, such as a great error reporting.

Today I decided to try again and I found that it works! The only requirement is that XDebug is loaded...
