<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-right:41.75pt;margin-left:0;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:center;"><a href="http://hastingspals.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2694220087_fbb21bbfa1_o.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62" src="http://hastingspals.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2694220087_fbb21bbfa1_o.jpg" alt="" width="378" height="170" /></a></p>
<p style="margin-right:41.75pt;margin-left:0;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;">NAPABA is proud to offer its inaugural mentoring program to the greater NAPABA membership this Fall.  Candidates for mentors and mentees will be chosen by the Mentoring Committee from those NAPABA members who apply to participate in the program.  The program will last one year and will have a limited number of mentor-mentee pairs, depending on the number of qualified applicants.  The expected time commitment for the program generally runs 4-5 hours per quarter for the duration of the year.</p>
<p style="margin-left:0;">The goal of the program seeks to foster relationships between NAPABA members who are experienced attorneys and NAPABA members who are either (i) new to the practice of law and in need of guidance, including advice on professional development, career goals and transitioning into the law or (ii) attorneys who are at a critical juncture in their career and in need of guidance on how to move forward or position themselves to take advantage of future opportunities.</p>
<p style="margin-left:0;">For the program to be a continued success and have value for the participants, the mentor and mentee must be able to make a personal commitment to this program both in terms of time and interest.  While the expected commitment for participation in the formal program is one year, in many cases the mentor and mentee relationship will continue beyond the program duration.</p>
<p style="margin-left:0;">If you believe that this program may benefit you, we urge you to complete and submit an application.  To apply to the mentoring program, please complete the appropriate attached application and email <strong><span style="font-weight:bold;">one copy of it to each of </span></strong>the following committee members:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Excerpted from an email I received on my Linkedin account…………</p>
<p><em>I have 1,500 connections in my networks first tier. My next milestone is 10,000 connections. One of you asked if I know all my connections in my first tier. I know a lot of them but not all of them.   Last Friday I met a man from the UK who now has 10,000 people in his first tier and 250,000 in the 2nd and 3rd. He knows most people in his 1st tier due to the fact, that he travels the world and visits local networking meetings.</em></p>
<p>When I read this email, I was amazed that someone would have 10,000 people in their network.  Then I thought about the value of having a network with 10,000 people in it.  Here is my list and I am open to your suggestions.</p>
<p>1.  I could send all of them my email Tip of the Week and because of the numbers I had, I would be able to get some good advertisers on my newsletter.</p>
<p>2.  I could promote my products or services to them.</p>
<p>3.  I could sell them something.</p>
<p>4.  I could ask them for something, like donations to my charity.</p>
<p>5.  I could invite them to participate in passing along a chain letter.</p>
<p>6.  I could ask them for information.</p>
<p>If you look at the list, it is all about me, what value they have to me, not what value I could bring to them.</p>
<p>I guess there are the rare people in the world who really know 10,000 people.  I know that I am not one of them, while I would like to have 10,000 people on my mailing list to send all of my insightful ideas to; I am not sure that I want or need 10,000 people in my Network.</p>
<p>So, ask yourself, when you are out there networking, "What am I trying to build, a mailing list or a solid network of people whom I can add value to?"   A strong network not only helps you build your business, they will add value to your life.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm not sure what motivated me to do it but I joined Twitter this weekend.  Well, part of the motivation was to challenge myself to write short posts.  Twitter limits you to 140 characters per post; that includes punctuation and spaces.</p>
<p>I've also been reading about using Twitter to promote your business, your web site, or your blog.  All of which seem like good ideas.  I'm still learning about this aspect of Twitter and will see what transpires.</p>
<p>The other idea behind using social networking sites is that you never know where you might connect with a  potential customer or collector.  Or someone might come across your Tweet or post and it could turn into a lead for a story for a magazine or newspaper article.</p>
<p>The reality is our life is extremely connected with technology.  We must pick and choose the formats we wish to use and, hopefully, use them wisely.  And when you run your own business, you have to consider both traditional and non-traditional venues for marketing and making connections.</p>
<p>Do you Twitter?   If so, you'll find me <a href="http://twitter.com/acrawley">here</a> on Twitter.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I have finally conquered the bridging of two networks.  Well, I should refine that.  I have managed to get an OpenVPN server configured correctly to have my VPN client be on my VPN server's network - not some vpn-only network.  Here's what it looks like:</p>
<p>Internet<br />
&#124;<br />
(dhcp address from Cable)<br />
DD-Wrt router<br />
192.168.0.1<br />
&#124;<br />
[ all of the 192.168.0.x network ]<br />
&#124;<br />
192.168.0.10<br />
Server (with OpenVPN)</p>
<p>On the client side I have:</p>
<p>Internet<br />
&#124;<br />
(dhcp address from generic ISP)<br />
Gateway<br />
192.168.1.1<br />
&#124;<br />
Client device<br />
192.168.1.100</p>
<p>So what I did was - I created a tap0 device on the server and built a bridge device that bridges the eth device with the virtual device.</p>
<p>For the OpenVPN server, I am running Fedora 9 running kernel 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686<br />
There are a number of places out there that help you get the stupid package installed.  However, there aren't that many that help you actually get something working when it comes to the configurations.  I found that the bridge-start and bridge-stop scripts were PAINFULLY undocumented.   However, their role is extremely critical when doing this in bridged mode.  I will leave it to you for installing openvpn in a non-bridged fashion.  Once you get that working, come back here and use my scripts to help you get it working in a bridged manner.</p>
<p>Here's what my /etc/openvpn/server.conf file looks like:</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='cpp']<br />
port 1194<br />
proto udp<br />
dev tap0<br />
;dev-node MyTap<br />
ca keys/ca.crt<br />
cert keys/server.crt<br />
key keys/server.key  # This file should be kept secret<br />
dh keys/dh1024.pem<br />
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt<br />
server-bridge 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.21 192.168.0.29<br />
;push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0"<br />
;client-config-dir ccd<br />
;route 192.168.40.128 255.255.255.248<br />
;learn-address ./script<br />
;push "redirect-gateway"<br />
push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.0.1"<br />
push "dhcp-option WINS 192.168.0.1"<br />
client-to-client<br />
;duplicate-cn<br />
keepalive 10 120<br />
;tls-auth ta.key 0 # This file is secret<br />
;cipher BF-CBC        # Blowfish (default)<br />
;cipher AES-128-CBC   # AES<br />
;cipher DES-EDE3-CBC  # Triple-DES<br />
comp-lzo<br />
max-clients 5<br />
user nobody<br />
group nobody<br />
persist-key<br />
persist-tun<br />
status openvpn-status.log<br />
log         openvpn.log<br />
verb 3<br />
;mute 20<br />
[/sourcecode]</p>
<p>Here's an example of a client.conf</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='cpp']<br />
client<br />
dev tap<br />
;dev-node MyTap<br />
proto udp<br />
remote my-server 1194<br />
resolv-retry infinite<br />
nobind<br />
;user nobody<br />
;group nobody<br />
persist-key<br />
persist-tun<br />
ca keys/ca.crt<br />
cert keys/client6.crt<br />
key keys/client6.key<br />
ns-cert-type server<br />
;tls-auth keys/ta.key 1<br />
;cipher x<br />
comp-lzo<br />
verb 3<br />
;mute 20<br />
[/sourcecode]</p>
<p>I found that the originial bridge-start script did not include the default gateway.  Since I only use a single network card on my server, this is a necessary addition.  Also, my one eth interface is eth1.  I normally have it just pull DHCP from my router.  On my router, I have it set to always give it 192.168.0.10 based on its MAC address ( I &#60;3 dd-wrt and host-specific dhcpd services)<br />
Here's my bridge-start script:</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='cpp']<br />
#!/bin/bash</p>
<p>#################################<br />
# Set up Ethernet bridge on Linux<br />
# Requires: bridge-utils<br />
#################################</p>
<p># Define Bridge Interface<br />
br="br0"</p>
<p># Define list of TAP interfaces to be bridged,<br />
# for example tap="tap0 tap1 tap2".<br />
tap="tap0"</p>
<p># Define physical ethernet interface to be bridged<br />
# with TAP interface(s) above.<br />
eth="eth1"<br />
eth_ip="192.168.0.10"<br />
eth_netmask="255.255.255.0"<br />
eth_broadcast="192.168.10.255"<br />
eth_gateway="192.168.0.1"</p>
<p>for t in $tap; do<br />
 openvpn --mktun --dev $t<br />
 sleep 1<br />
done</p>
<p>brctl addbr $br<br />
sleep 1<br />
brctl addif $br $eth<br />
sleep 1</p>
<p>for t in $tap; do<br />
 brctl addif $br $t<br />
 sleep 1<br />
done</p>
<p>ifconfig $eth 0.0.0.0 promisc up<br />
sleep 1</p>
<p>ifconfig $br $eth_ip netmask $eth_netmask broadcast $eth_broadcast<br />
sleep 1<br />
route add default gw $eth_gateway</p>
<p>[/sourcecode]</p>
<p>Again, since eth1 is typically dhcp - I had to add the following to make sure that when the bridge gets turned off - it still pulls dhcp.  (I do not use NetworkManager - instead, I have the setting files maintained in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1)<br />
Here's my bridge-stop script:</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='cpp']<br />
#!/bin/bash</p>
<p>####################################<br />
# Tear Down Ethernet bridge on Linux<br />
####################################</p>
<p># Define Bridge Interface<br />
br="br0"</p>
<p># Define list of TAP interfaces to be bridged together<br />
tap="tap0"</p>
<p>ifconfig $br down<br />
brctl delbr $br</p>
<p>for t in $tap; do<br />
 openvpn --rmtun --dev $t<br />
done</p>
<p>ifdown eth1<br />
ifup eth1<br />
[/sourcecode]</p>
<p>I wanted to automatically generate a new client certificate.  I also wanted to tarball up all of the necessary files that a client would need.  So I came up with this file.  For now -it resides in /root/bin  So does bridge-start and bridge-stop<br />
Here's my addvpnclient.sh script</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='cpp']<br />
client=$1<br />
tar=$2</p>
<p>if [ ! -d /etc/openvpn/dist/$client ]; then<br />
        mkdir -p /etc/openvpn/dist/$client/keys<br />
fi</p>
<p>if [ "$tar" != "no" ]; then<br />
        cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0<br />
        source ./vars<br />
        ./pkitool $client<br />
fi</p>
<p>cp /etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crt /etc/openvpn/dist/$client/keys<br />
cp /etc/openvpn/keys/$client.key /etc/openvpn/dist/$client/keys<br />
cp /etc/openvpn/keys/$client.crt /etc/openvpn/dist/$client/keys<br />
cp /etc/openvpn/README /etc/openvpn/dist/$client</p>
<p>/etc/openvpn/client.sh $client > /etc/openvpn/dist/$client/$client.conf<br />
cd /etc/openvpn/dist/$client<br />
tar czvf $client-vpn.tgz *<br />
[/sourcecode]</p>
<p>I wanted to dynamically generate the client config file - so I also have /etc/openvpn/client.sh</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='cpp']<br />
client=$1<br />
echo "<br />
client<br />
dev tap<br />
;dev-node MyTap<br />
proto udp<br />
remote my-server 1194<br />
resolv-retry infinite<br />
nobind<br />
;user nobody<br />
;group nobody<br />
persist-key<br />
persist-tun<br />
ca keys/ca.crt<br />
cert keys/$client.crt<br />
key keys/$client.key<br />
ns-cert-type server<br />
;tls-auth keys/ta.key 1<br />
;cipher x<br />
comp-lzo<br />
verb 3<br />
;mute 20<br />
"<br />
[/sourcecode]</p>
<p>Finally, when you do a "service openvpn start" or "service openvpn stop" it automatically finds *.conf in your /etc/openvpn folder.  Also, it automatically runs scripts named "openvpn-startup" and "openvpn-shutdown" respectively.  So I did the following:</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='cpp']<br />
ln -s /root/bin/bridge-stop /etc/openvpn/openvpn-shutdown<br />
ln -s /root/bin/bridge-start /etc/openvpn/openvpn-startup<br />

<p>So now - all I have to do is hand a tgz file to a buddy and they can connect to my network and be ON THE network - not some funky vpn network that is only on the vpn devices.  Sweet if you ask me ... sweet.  Now I'm off to apply this knowledge to my pfSense device.  It is currently grabbing my neighbors open wifi on one radio and broadcasting it on a different radio.  My broadcast radio is bridged to the LAN.  The wifi is also encrypted - so as to protect my network.  The thing that started this whole need for the VPN was the fact that I can't set port-forwarding on the neighbor's router.  They were smart enough to change the default password, but not add encryption?!?!  ... anyhow, now with the pfSense box, I will have a permanent VPN tunnel back to my server which will allow me to access the network behind the pfSense box from anywhere in the world - via my server's network.  Muahaha... evil.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention ... I added open ports to my firewall.<br />
Here's my current /etc/sysconfig/iptables file:</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='cpp']<br />
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just had a great meeting in Redmond introducing some government friends to Steve Riley, one of Microsoft's "technical evangelists" on security - network, app, data security and most of all, IP security.  He's great at the big-picture integrated view of security, including physical security right up through the IP stack - here's a video of a recent talk he gave at Microsoft's TechNet called "<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/emea/spotlight/sessionh.aspx?videoid=530" target="_blank">The Fortified Data Center in Your Future</a>."</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.technet.com/steriley" target="_blank">Check out his blog</a> and you'll see the kind of topics he works on; just one example of obvious value is <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/steriley/archive/2008/02/13/supporting-your-family-friends-and-neighbors.aspx" target="_blank">a recent post full of real-world down-to-earth security advice</a> for securing your environment at home (home networking, email use, internet browsing, etc for family and friends).</p>
<p>Oh, he's <a href="http://twitter.com/steveriley" target="_blank">also been on Twitter</a> for almost a month now, where he mixes interesting finds on security news with offbeat political commentary :-)  Yet another example of some of the bright people I meet back at the mothership in Redmond....</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#808080;">Posted by RockeTalk on July 22, 2008</span></p>
<p>It is absolutely inspiring to see the global nature of Social Networking.  We launched the RockeTalk Beta just about 12 days ago, and our primary goal was to learn about the social entertainment needs of the mobile Indian consumer.  We’ve already been surprised by the larger than expected number of Indian users who are signing up for the RockeTalk beta every day, and providing us with valuable feedback.   We‘re also getting users from some expected places such as US, and UK.  </p>
<p>But what has surprised us has been the vast number of people who are signing up for RockeTalk from some unexpected places, such as Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and even Iran.  In just 12 days since our launch, we already have users from over 90 countries – from Afghanistan to Zambia !!!</p>
<p>It all goes to show you that Social Networking is a borderless phenomenon and it is most powerful when it is truly global.   The powerful of social networking is connecting people from all over the globe.</p>
<p><strong>So if you’d like to meet and chat new people from across the world just <a title="Download RockeTalk" href="http://www.rocketalk.com/get_it_now.php" target="_blank">download RockeTalk</a>, then tell us what you think</strong>!</p>

<a href="http://www.nbc5.com/slideshow/entertainment/10266993/detail.html" target="="><img src="http://images.ibsys.com/2008/0425/15986004_120X90.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="5" width="120" height="90" align="left" />Reggie Brown, NBC5 Street Team</a></strong></p>
<p>Last night I attended the <a href="http://www.skyyinfusions.com/">Skyy Infusions</a> unveiling party at Zed 451. The party highlighted Skyy Vodka's newest flavors including Cherry, Raspberry, Passion Fruit, Grape and my personal favorite, Citrus. I was surrounded by familiar faces as the scene was filled with many of Chicago's chic restaurant industry insiders. <a href="http://nbc5streetteam.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/p7210132.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2255" src="http://nbc5streetteam.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/p7210132.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>While the bartenders were mixing up some innovative cocktails behind the bar, by far the coolest aspect of the party was that the power was put in the hands of the partygoers with the installment of the Mixology Station. We were urged to create new cocktails with the infused vodkas and an abundant mix of fresh fruits and mixers.</p>
<p><a href="http://nbc5streetteam.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/p7210136.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2259" src="http://nbc5streetteam.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/p7210136.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></a>I made a few interesting concoctions but the tastiest of them all was a libation I call <em><strong>TheRegMaingo</strong></em>: Muddled mint, grapes and mango topped off with Skyy Citrus and finished with Sprite. It is a refreshing summer drink inspired by the classic mojito. In addition to the bar, Zed 451 provided delicious appetizers and their amazing rooftop, which in combination with the beautiful weather provided all the right elements for an amazing evening out.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It's been a while since I've posted, mostly because I don't want to ruin the nice Apple "paint-job" we have on this "wall".</p>
<p>Well, I've had enough of the iPhone to last me the rest of my life, so here comes some UNIX related angst!</p>
<p><strong>FreeBSD</strong> has been around longer than Linux, and is a derivative of the UNIX operating system; it is NOT a Linux distribution. <strong>FreeNAS </strong>is an operating system based on <strong>FreeBSD</strong> that is <em>supposed</em> to be used for creating an NAS (Network Attached Storage) system. There’s a funny thing about how things rarely do what they are supposed to, as I discovered.</p>
<p>Now, I know that in the freeware world of community OS distribution efforts, not everything will be as polished or organized as say, a Windows project or release (don't bother with the sarcastic "<em>Polished</em>? Ha!"). What gets me though is that <strong>FreeNAS</strong> is up to version 0.68 and 0.69beta and they have still yet to discover just how buggy this software is. I know it's free, but it's <em>based </em>off of something that <em>works </em>already, so why did I have the worst experience ever trying to install it?</p>
<p>I began by downloading the latest LiveCD version (at the time, 3 nights ago), "FreeNAS-i386-liveCD-0.686.4.3374" and burned it onto a nice fresh Lightscribe disc. Knowing that this could be a <em>potentiall</em>y bad experience (I've had too many so now I'm cautious) I shutdown, unplugged my MBR hard drive and media drive and left in a blank drive and plugged in a 4GB USB flash drive. I wanted to test the set up before committing to a $370 parts purchase to build my actual NAS, and I'm so glad I did.</p>
<p>Here's what I <strong>wanted</strong> to do:</p>
<p>- Boot off of the USB flash drive (use to store OS and config files)<br />
- Use SATA HDD for data storage<br />
- Have it work</p>
<p>Here's what <strong>happened</strong>:</p>
<p>- Failed to boot from CD<br />
- No chance to use SATA HDD for data storage<br />
- GFL</p>
<p>So I booted from the CD and lo-and-behold the bloody thing infinite looped on me. Something about Trap 9 and how much it hates its life. I read the output before it vanished and I caught "i386". I knew I used an AMD processor so I knew this would be a problem. I went back to the <strong>FreeNAS </strong>website and found out there was an AMD beta version "FreeNAS-amd64-liveCD-0.69b1.3504". Apparently <strong>FreeBSD</strong> favours Intel (sadly) so this beta version is the first. I burned a new CD (having wasted the other one) and booted from CD again. It worked -- Sort of.</p>
<p>So this time it booted into the install menu and I selected install to USB/Flash/HDD. Invalid something or other. Wonderful, I thought. I rebooted and tried again, and for some reason it decided that the USB drive was fine and dandy that time. I rebooted and set my BIOS to boot from USB HDD.</p>
<p>INVALID SLICE. OMFGWTFBBQ?! OMFG CANNOT FIND KERNEL!1!11!1!! BLARGGGGG!111!!</p>
<p>I proceeded to clear my USB key and try again. Fast forward to after my obvious findings. I succeeded in installing the OS to the blank hard disk while leaving a separate partition for data storage. I rebooted from the HDD and figured I was finally on my way to getting everything configured.</p>
<p>Why do I always assume these things?</p>
<p>The first thing you need to do is tell the OS where it's getting it's Ethernet from (my NIC is an on-board nVidia chip). In <strong>FreeBSD</strong> they use stupid naming systems like da0, cd1, xfs3 and other lame, confusing things. The set-up tutorial told me that I could use an auto-detect feature or type it in manually. Auto-detect + anything usually ends up wrong so I opted to type it in. When I got to the prompt there was no option to type anything, just auto-detect. I used it and it said there was "no link-up detected". I rebooted and retried 6 times to no avail. This is what help forum are for, right?</p>
<p>I read about 70+ posts about this problem and the answer was always the same "it works for me, sucks it doesn't work for you" or "check the hardware compatibility list". I checked the list and it's totally incomplete. What I did gather though, is that if you're using a motherboard with onboard LAN that was made after the cold war, it's not supported in the <strong>FreeBSD</strong> (and hence, the <strong>FreeNAS</strong>) driver library. Checking the list of compatible NIC/Chipset versions, it seems that the newest nVidia model is the nForce 4 series, which makes me a sadpanda. We're up to 790i and<strong> FreeBSD</strong> only has drivers for something which ended its production life in early 2005. I know, its freeware, but I mean, really? So I went looking for an nForce 4 motherboard and I obviously didn't find any.</p>
<p>My only option is to buy a compatible NIC PCI card (which also needs to be manufactured before 2005 to ensure driver compatibility) and disable the onboard NIC which is faster, better, and integrated which saves room and promotes air-flow in the case. Sadly, because of how good onboard NICs are these days (any made after 2005 are likely Gigabit 10/100/1000), there aren't many manufacturers making PCI cards anymore. You're stuck with a few low quality and a couple high quality (dual Gigabit) high priced options which still won't be supported by the <strong>FreeNAS</strong> device driver library.</p>
<p>Solution? Use OLD, OLD, OLD, OLD, OLD, OLD parts to make a NAS. Problem? Lack of SATA support, no integrated video (will need a video card, $$$), lack of RAID drivers, lack of features such as Boot from USB (can't be upgraded from BIOS flashing consistently), lack of CPU sockets that accept anything BUT an Intel i386 from 1990, and lack of DDR2 RAM slots (try finding DDR RAM at a good price in 2GB kits).</p>
<p>At the end of all of this, I have decided that my server will either run <strong>Debian</strong>, <strong>Fedora 9</strong>, or sadly, <strong>Windows Vista</strong> stripped down to the bone using <strong>vLit</strong>e (which could end up being a winner). I really wanted to use free software dedicated to creating an NAS, but using modern parts is next to impossible. It seems as though you need to pay for <strong>Windows Vista</strong> ($199 for Ultimate), <strong>Windows XP Pro</strong> ($169) or use a<strong> Linux</strong> distribution (I am not experienced with any at all) to create anything of value.</p>
<p>All I wanted was a <strong>FreeNAS</strong> and all I got was a pain in my ass.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">The second benefit of networking is that it makes you smarter. We’re an amalgam of everyone we meet. It’s like a melting pot. You know, the more people you encounter, the more you get a broader base of experience. You know more things, more options, you learn a lot. When I was stupid, I was too busy to see people. Now I have learned that people enrich you, and every meeting is like an executive summary of their industry or capability. You simply know more services. It’s like having cliff notes. You get better raises and earlier promotions because you can provide added value for your company; you become the keeper, the “go to” person, because you’re resourceful. The intelligent person is always open to new ideas. In fact, they look for them. If you network, you can stay topical. You can build your business and your brand for new trends like podcasting, blogging, and other internet innovations. So networking definitely makes you smarter.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"></p>
<div id="post_message_6697">I gave a talk a few days ago called "Networking to Sustain Your Personal Brand" to primarily job seekers.<br />
After my interactive talk, many approached me after with their own story and more private questions not comfortable in a public forum. Typical fear and hard lessons learned. Then a professional executive assistant approached me and proved she was the smartest in the room. She thanked me and went on to say:<br />
<em>...there are plenty of opportunities out there, but we have to work a little harder to make it happen these days. I'm going to invest more than usual in myself right now! I am also going to scratch my prepared pitch and be myself - learning more about those I am about to meet.</em></p>
<p>I've heard from her since and know she is a star. Think I will refer her to some CEOs - oh yea! Smart businesses and smart people invest more, not less, when things tighten up out there. You?</p></div>
<p><!-- / message --><!-- sig --></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>You</em> are the best place to invest during good and challenging times.  Becoming a true resource for your growing network will have a return on your investment.  Knowledge is power.  Read more, ask questions, network with smart people and add value.  Be that person who seems to know everybody...and when sent a lead, idea or connection of some kind, you know what to do.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">Even when you are viewed as an expert, smart people continue to invest in understanding or shaping trends so not to be old news.  Knowledge positions you to think for yourself when others are marketing agenda and respect your position in debate.    </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">By becoming a resource and expert with compassion, you'll differentiate yourself. You'll be useful and remain top of mind – building a sustainable personal brand! Tim Sanders points this concept out well in his book “<a href="http://timsanders.com/books/killerapp.html"><span style="color:#0070e0;">Love is the Killer App</span></a> ”. Great book to share with your boss, clients and partners and a great investment.</span></p>
<p><span>Most people understand that networking, or their network, is an important asset when something is needed.  Opportunity to help has gotten even easier because of the Internet and online communities like <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/sandusky"><span style="color:#0070e0;">LinkedIn</span></a>, <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php?id=606718802" target="_self">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.personalboardofadvisors.com" target="_self">Personal Board of Advisors </a> just to name a few - more on that another day.   The e</span><span>ffective networker is less concerned about themselves and more about the other person.  The commonly used term "bank balance" networking makes a lot of sense - deposit, deposit deposit to your network.  Our great collaborators are always networking - proactively connecting those who can benefit from the awarded relationship. Malcolm Gladwell points this out very well in his book “<a href="http://www.gladwell.com/tippingpoint/index.html"><span style="color:#0070e0;"> The Tipping Point</span></a> ” – Ch.2 The law of the Few: Connectors, Mavens and Salesmen.   Another great investment!   </span></p>
<p><span>Investing in YOU is smart.  Read books and blogs that add to your knowledge base.  Surround yourself with people that are better than you and give back to those who could learn from you - seek and be a mentor.  Build a personal board of advisors including paid for relationships for accountability and learning in areas where skin in the game will benefit you.  </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Do they make machines that suck your penis, a male equivalent to the sybians females have? -Clitorious</span></p>
<p><strong>I wouldn't go so far as to call your Mom "a machine".  But shes good.  *Zing*</strong></p>
<p><span>why do republicans support israel anyway?</span> <span>what has israel ever done for us? -CrunchyGoings</span></p>
<p><strong><span>AIPAC gives lots of money to American Democracy.  Plus, we need a friend over there in the Octagon they call the Middle East.  Also, Christians preparing for the rapture need Jerusalem to be under friendly control for when Jesus comes back. </span></strong></p>
<p><span>Have you ever seen someone get hit by a car?</span> <span>I haven't, but my dad told me that when he was a kid, he saw a guy get hit by a trolley and he exploded. The guy's head landed right next to my dad. -RazinBrand</span></p>
<p><strong><span>I watched a girl who sat next to me in English class absolutely DECIMATE this 5 year old girl at a busy intersection near the school. The little girl just ran out in the road of a 45MPH zone. The little girl went FLYING, like 20 feet up in the air and like 50 feet down the street.</p>
<p>I never saw the girl driving the car again. She didn't go to jail or anything. I know she quit school because she was so affected by the incident. She doesnt drive anymore either. I don't know if thats a punishment given by the state or anything.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Why are Juggalos Hated On So Much?</span> <span>This is coming from a Juggalo. It seems I been getting more crap then ever... -Paymaster<br />
</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Its like they ripped off the Kiss army.  A gimmick that was cheesy in the 70s has a place with rapping chuckleheads today, somehow.  You put on matching make-up to claim individuality.  A ridiculous, hypocritical act of attempted shock value.  A friend of mine is a juggalo, he's cool, so I can't bash too much.  Clowns aren't cool, lets just leave it at that for now.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Would you rather be deaf, or be a mute? -DitShip</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Its difficult to understand a word deaf people are saying anyway.   Ill go with mute.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Fact: Some girls with boyfriends sometimes try their best to avoid good looking guys.</span> <span>Those that don't are usually sluts... -JillytheKid</span></p>
<p><strong><span>I chased all the hot I could in college.  The majority of those relationships ended in "cheating".  I then found a girl who treats me like a king and would make a great mother.  I married her, and regret nothing.  It's tough to get anything meaningful other than an ego boost from sex with an attractive person. </span></strong></p>
<p><span>Don't you hate when people try to shove philosophy down your throat?</span> <span>Especially when there philosophies come from books by guys who have no idea what the fuck they're talking about and are only known because their book was featured on Oprah. -Saladify</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Some people let "brain gum" take up far too much of their time.  Being a realist can have similar spiritual recognitions.  But, I like the occasional philosophy discussion, metacognition mostly.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Do people really not care enough to pick up after their dog? </span> <span>I swear to god, I just saw this huge pile of dookey in my lawn that was the bigger than my dog's entire head when walking him this morning. Absolutely ridiculous. For Chirst's sake, I wouldn't even have minded if the guy would've come up to my front door, rang the door bell and asked for a sheet (or 10) of toilet paper so he could pick his own **** (lol) up. -GaryQueen</span></p>
<p><strong><span>You think people should care enough about YOUR lawn that they should pick up their dog shit? I couldn't blame anyone for not caring about your lawn.   Even you.  People should be picking up after their dog because its the right thing to do, not because your majesties pristine lawn demands it.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>I met a live crack dealer today.  He's our new maintenance man at work. I talked to him on break and he told me that he sells crack. Though he claims to have never touch the stuff, he said people are fiends. He even claimed selling it to his own mother.  He seems like a nice guy too. He has a wife and three kids, and is some trainer at a local karate center. He also told me his wife is a stripper. -GrainusMax</span></p>
<p><strong><span>You should ask him where you can find $5 BJ's and be the hit of your friends.</p>
<p>Nice get, though, seriously. Its important to have a network that dabbles in all sorts of areas. You can get a lot of things done for yourself or others, along with helping out causes you feel for. As long as you don't show judgement or, in this case, get hooked on crack, it's a great catch. Maintain the friendship, or at least leave on good terms.</span><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>
<h3><strong>Do you know your fans? If not, how could they know you?</strong></h3>
</blockquote>
<p>That´s it. Finally! Here comes the last part of "Booking Shows Is Marketing"! It basically teaches you a truth many up-and-coming artists have not realized yet: there is nothing special about "being special" anymore! Far too many good acts today share a market still ruled by on the one hand not even a handful of mayors, on the other hand a sheer unimaginable number of independent labels and one man army booking agencies. Not to forget those acts who still are looking for both of them!</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/RdLfgRgPMkA'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/RdLfgRgPMkA&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><strong>It is neither the quality of your music which gets you on the bigger stages nor it are your artistic merits. It is simply easier to get there the faster the crowd grows that you attract! </strong>In most cases promoters, managers and anyone in the industry will give nothing about you - will not even listen to you - before you have proven that you know not only who you are but who your fans are and how to reach them. The best product is worth nothing without its target audience. Earning respect is all about learning how to market yourself - and this goes hand in hand with questions like: How effectively do you handle your booking? How strong and reliable is your network? How many shows have you been playing so far? Just to name a few, I don´t want to go into detail here! I´ll do in the following vids I promise!</p>
<p><strong>How does church-of-noise.net fit into all this?</strong> church-of-noise.net is the very first approach to a global viral booking network helping independent artists and promoters. church-of-noise.net is to be regarded both as a result from and solution for a tendency in music business up-and-coming artists have to face these days: we are not back in the Eighties and Nineties anymore. Learn how to market yourself, otherwise you will most likely not be featured.</p>
<p><strong>In fact this is not a new tendency at all. It´s just that the market is much tighter than it was back in the old days. </strong>In fact there have been great artists who very early developed a great sense for networking and for a higher degree of commercial independence. Think of Neurosis! There may have been other bands back in the late 80ies playing more intense rock music than Neurosis did (and still do) play. But even if there were - they for sure did not market their music as professional as Neurosis did (and do).</p>
<p><strong>For my taste I often hear either too much disillusionment or -one might not believe that- far too much greenness listening to people speaking of today´s music business. </strong>The times may be hard but they have always been. The music business is changing. But it has always been.</p>
<p><strong>The only thing which has not really begun yet is a revolution we call Internet.</strong> We have been told as much as we have been promised - but I don´t think that billions of bucks payed for online advertisement help independent artists. Do you?</p>
<p>I hope you like the vid and it helps! If so, please join church-of-noise.net, submit locations, share your live experience, spread the word.</p>

<h3><strong>Kennst Du Deine Fans? Nein? Woher sollten sie Dich dann kennen?</strong></h3>
</blockquote>
<p>Endlich, hier kommt der dritte und letzte Teil zu "Booking Shows Is Marketing". Im Grunde geht es um eine Wahrheit, die viele junge Künstler heute noch nicht begriffen haben: <strong>es ist nicht mehr hip, einfach nur hip zu sein. </strong>Viel zu viele gute Acts tummeln sich auf einem Markt, der auch heute noch auf der einen Seite von nicht einmal einer Handvoll von Mayors und auf der anderen Seite von einer schier undefinierbaren Anzahl von sogenannten Indie-Labels und Ein-Mann-Armee-Agenturen regiert wird. Und dabei vernachlässigen wir noch jene Acts, die beides gerade suchen!</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/RdLfgRgPMkA'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/RdLfgRgPMkA&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><strong>Weder die Qualität Eurer Musik noch Eure künstlerischen Werte bringen Euch auf größere Bühnen. Es wird nur dann einfacher, wenn die Masse derer wächst, die Ihr auf Eure Shows zieht! </strong>Meist geben Veranstalter, Manager und einfach jeder in der Industrie gar nichts auf Euch, hören Euch nicht einmal an, wenn Ihr nicht längst bewiesen habt, dass Ihr nicht nur Euch selbst kennt, sondern auch Eure Fans und wisst, wie und wo Ihr sie erreicht. Das beste Produkt ist ohne Zielgruppe nichts wert. Auf dem Markt respektiert werden und Erfolg haben, heißt, zu lernen, sich zu vermarkten. Für Musiker geht das Hand in Hand mit Fragen wie: Wie effektiv handle ich mein Booking?, Wie stark und verlässlich ist mein Netzwerk?, Wie viele Shows habe ich schon gespielt?, Kenne ich meinen Wert?...um nur einige wenige zu nennen.</p>
<p><strong>Wie passt church-of-noise.net da rein? </strong>church-of-noise.net ist das erste globale virale Booking-Netzwerk, das, von einer wachsenden Masse verwendet, unabhängigen Künstlern beim Booking und Eigenmanagement hilft. church-of-noise.net ist ein Resultat aus und Lösung für eine Tendenz im Musikbusiness, der sich viele  junge Künstler heute stellen müssen: Wir leben nicht mehr in den Achtzigern und Neunzigern. Entweder, wir lernen, uns zu vermarkten, oder wir werden höchstwahrscheinlich wenig bis gar nicht beachtet werden.</p>
<p><strong>Eigentlich ist diese Tendenz auch nicht neu! Nur ist der Markt heute um einiges dichter, als er das vor 10 oder 20 Jahren war. </strong>Und das Netzwerk oder eine unabhängige auf Eigenmanagement orientierte Arbeitsweise ist keine Erfindung des neuen Jahrtausends: man denke an Bands wie zum Beispiel Neurosis. Es mag Ende der Achtziger Künstler gegeben haben, die intensivere Rock-Musik spielten als Neurosis. Mit Sicherheit haben die sich aber nicht halb so gut vermarktet wie sie, die sehr frühzeitig ein eigenes Label, ein ganzes, eigenes Kollektiv gebildet haben - ein Netzwerk, das heute noch funktioniert und sich ständig erweitert.</p>
<p><strong>Für meinen Geschmack höre ich heute entweder zu viel Desillusionierung oder zu viel Naivität</strong>, wenn Leute, auch gerade Künstler, über den Musikmarkt sprechen. Vielleicht sind die Zeiten hart, aber das waren sie immer. Das Musikgeschäft verändert sich, aber auch das ist nicht neu.</p>
<p><strong>Das einzige, das immer noch nicht so recht begonnen hat, ist die Revolution, die alle Internet nennen!</strong> Es wurde so viel erzählt wie versprochen - aber ich denke nicht, das ein paar Milliarden harte Dollar, gezahlt für Online-Werbung, unabhängigen Künstlern helfen? Oder glaubt ihr das?</p>
<p>Ich hoffe, ihr mögt das Video und es hilft Euch! Wenn ja, meldet Euch auf church-of-noise.net an! Stellt Locations ein, teilt Eure Live-Erfahrungen, spread the word!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re a small business owner or just someone with a laptop who loves shopping online and is addicted to your online banking, you might think that you’re not a big target for identity thieves, hackers or viruses. The truth is that no one is really safe from prying eyes when they’re online, so turn to this list of 100 tips, tutorials and resources that will help you beef up your own network security.</p>
<p><strong>Basic Steps</strong></p>
<p>From anti-virus software to firewalls, follow these basic steps to protecting your computer.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.getsafeonline.org/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=1146">Install a firewall</a></strong>: Using a firewall blocks public users from connecting to your computer and can prevent certain viruses from attacking.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/06/redefining_antivirus_software.html">Get anti-virus software</a></strong>: This tip is especially important if you use Windows.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://good-software.blogspot.com/2007/11/ad-aware-2007-best-free-anti-spyware.html">Anti-spyware protection</a></strong>: Anti-spyware protects viruses and monitoring bugs that scan your system and steal your information right from your computer.</li>
<li><strong>Delete suspicious e-mails and attachments</strong>: If you get an e-mail from a bogus address, don’t open it. If you open up an e-mail from an address that isn’t familiar but isn’t genuine, you should still delete it, and never open the attachment.</li>
<li><strong>Don’t download extra software from a prompt</strong>: If a page you’re viewing prompts you to download Adobe, don’t click the button that pops up on the screen: go to the original site for the program you need and download it there.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://resources.zdnet.co.uk/articles/comment/0,1000002985,39115534,00.htm">Patch your software</a></strong>: When a vulnerability in your product or system is announced by the manufacturer, get a patch for it right away.</li>
<li><strong>Close down your network</strong>: If you have a wireless network, make it password protected so that no one in the apartment or building next to you can hop on without you knowing.</li>
<li><strong>Don’t let your computer save your passwords</strong>: Some sites like Gmail, Facebook and even your online banking account will ask if you want to save your password and login information. Never do this, even if it means taking a few extra seconds to type it in each time. You can even <a href="http://www.netsquirrel.com/articles/ff_saved_passwords.html">disable</a> the "remember passwords" function in your browser.</li>
<li><strong>Download a secure browser</strong>: Firefox is usually touted as a more secure browser than Internet Explorer, but Safari and Opera may have even less vulnerabilities than Firefox.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.midmarket.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Network-Security-Concerns-Consider-Open-Source/">Go open source</a></strong>: If you’re pretty computer literate, see if you can manage working with a Linux operating system and open source software. It’s generally the most secure system out there and completely customizable.</li>
</ol>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><strong>At Work</strong></p>
<p>Keep these security tips and guides in mind when you log on at the office.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/strong-password">Pick strong passwords</a></strong>: When you’re away from your desk, anyone could hop onto your computer, even your boss. Pick strong passwords with lots of characters and numbers to make it harder for someone to guess your key.</li>
<li><strong>Make sure your anti-virus and anti-spyware is updated</strong>: If your office doesn’t have a big IT department, you’ll need to make sure updates are running on schedule yourself.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.allbusiness.com/sales/internet-sales-e-commerce/3780611-1.html">Encrypt e-mails</a></strong>: Consider encrypting your e-mails if you are sending sensitive information.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://voipguides.blogspot.com/">Use VoIP</a></strong>: Instead of chatting online or sending an e-mail, send a message or call someone using this very secure voice-over-Internet protocol.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid14_gci865453,00.html">Delete unnecessary TCP/UDP services</a></strong>: SearchSecurity.com writes that these "unneeded services can be the entry point attackers use to gain control of your system."</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.novatone.net/mag/mailsec.htm">Monitor e-mail attachments</a></strong>: Never open an e-mail attachment with file extensions like .exe, .isp, .bas or any of the others in this list.</li>
<li><strong>Don’t give out your system administrator password</strong>: Keep major passwords like this one to yourself.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5033259.html">Network Security for the Small Office</a></strong>: Small business owners may find this article about cost effective network security.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/frame/2008/062308wan1.html?hpg1=bn">The WAN as Security Threat</a></strong>: If your office computers allow access to IM’ing and social media sites, read this article to understand how they affect your security.</li>
<li><strong>Get a pop-up blocker</strong>: A pop-up blocker will prevent you from even accidentally clicking on a suspicious pop up. If you know you’ll need to see pop ups from a specific site, you can adjust the settings for that site only.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>At Home</strong></p>
<p>For computer use at home, remember these important tips.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/home_networks.html">Home Network Security</a></strong>: Here you’ll find a good outline of basic network terms and risk factors.</li>
<li><strong>Use different passwords</strong>: Don’t use the same passwords for your office computer and your home computer. Also switch up passwords for more important sites like e-mail and online banking.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://wiki.ittoolbox.com/index.php/Protect_your_computer#Place_your_home_computers_behind_a_router_that_uses_NAT">Use a NAT router</a></strong>: If you have more than one computer on the Internet at your home, use a NAT router, which "enables multiple computers to access to the Internet over a single high-speed link." It also blocks incoming connections.</li>
<li><strong>Don’t respond to bogus IMs</strong>: If an instant message from an unfamiliar screen name pops up asking you to click on a link, don’t.</li>

<p style="text-align:left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong><em><span style="font-family:Georgia;">How would you feel if you were finally able to fulfill your dreams?</span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Georgia;">The foundation of this <strong>powerful, super-effective, profit-generating system</strong> is a top selling personal and professional development training system that will <strong>empower you to change your mindset, reclaim control of your life, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">and secure your financial future.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>True success is a state of mind...</em>  This mindset is the heart and soul of successful entrepreneurial enterprise. You can’t get started without it, and you can’t make a business wildly profitable if you don’t get it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><strong>Here’s the good news: </strong>The “tangible” unbelievable shortcut to where you want to go in life is extremely easy to figure out. <strong>The roadmap to your personal success and wealth can be broken down into identifiable steps. </strong>The “answers” turn out to be amazingly simple. And these answers are what I want to reveal to you today.</span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family:Georgia;">How would your life change if you never had to worry about money again?</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">If you want to make really <em>serious</em> money, and work as <em>few hours</em> as humanly possible, then this could be the most important information you ever read… </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">This opportunity combines high-profits and powerful leverage to create a super-effective, profit-generating system that has made hundreds of people ridiculously wealthy in a very short period of time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><strong>Here’s a cash-multiplying secret: </strong>You have to limit yourself to marketing products or services with a <em>high </em>price tag. Why? It costs the same amount of time and energy to sell a <em>really profitable</em> product or service as it does to sell a product that only makes peanuts. The profit on the item you sell, nothing else, is going to determine how much money you make.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><strong><em>What would it mean for you to have more time to enjoy your life?</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">It’s often a shock when you understand a simple truth about American capitalism: <strong>Making big bucks not only does not require that you give up having fun</strong>... but... the real winners are guys who work a fraction of the time their peers do. And still rake it in.<strong> And have plenty of time for life. </strong>How do they do this?</span></p>
<div><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><strong>It is actually pretty easy to explain: </strong>How many hours of the average workday, in an office, is actually spent getting anything done? For most people, it’s maybe <em>two hours.</em> The other six (or more) are essentially wasted in useless meetings, hanging on hold waiting to talk to someone, gossiping, flirting and staring out the window. Add all the time it took to get dressed, commute to and from, and get ready for the next go-round... and you’ve shot an entire day. For two hours of productive work. Whether you’re working for The Man, or for yourself. </span></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><strong>That’s why so many of the really successful guys I know work at home. </strong>No commute. You can work in your pajamas. Get your two hours of productivity in before noon. And <em>double </em>that after lunch, if you’re so inclined... <strong>and still get in a round of golf before six o’clock. </strong></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Work hard, play hard, and don’t let anyone try to tell you it’s not okay to take off early and<strong>... <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">enjoy your life!</span></em></strong></span></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>in a couple days our wlan authentication system goes online for a beta run.</p>
<p>it consists of a wifi authentication system called wifidog. It is developed as open source software by canadians.<br />
normally anyone can use it. You can logon to the hotspot without any wpa key, register at the login page and surf for free. This didn't fit our needs because we installed it for restriced access for the customers.<br />
Still our customers login with a wpa key. Now they will login to an open network and can only browse one site: the loginpage for authentication. Afterwards we are able to trac the time they were online nothing more.</p>
<p>With wifidog its really easy to disable the registration form and the email validation procedure.<br />
The only thing which wasn't so easy is to disable access for a resistered user.I had to write a little pgsql script which takes the username and sets the account_status of the users table to zero which stands for denied; 1 is for allowed.</p>
<p>I put the authentication server and the gateway server on one fedora mashine. Hopefully someday i will put the gateway on our Linksys WRT54G but its always used and people would complain about the connection interruption :( well someday we get anotherone.</p>
<p>There is something which i don't really understand about the system. When i login as a wifi user than there are some dalays when i try to login or logout, but well it works anyway. Sometimes its confusing for the customers.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to on-line automation, no longer do you have to hire that high-powered sales rep (or do it yourself) to drive across town to generate huge profits in business.</p>
<p>The sales process can now be done for you automatically on-line.</p>
<p>Check out the stats. The most successful people on-line aren't doing ANY selling. They are letting automation do it for them.</p>
<p>People don't want to be sold. They want to be appreciated.</p>
<p>The only game remaining is social networking. The purpose of social networking (also, the greatest course in personal development for everyone - regardless of profession) is to be human to others by being contagiously interested in them. That will return the favor.</p>
<p>The beauty of social networking is that success was never limited to people of certain careers. All of us were made to be successful and prosperous by following a few simple basics.</p>
<p>Now,  thanks to on-line duplication of business parts, we can do it more efficiently and more effectively than ever before.</p>
<p>For more on on-line automation working for you, visit my blog ... "Prosperity In The News".</p>
<p>Are you still driving to work? Save the gas!</p>
<p>Your comments are welcome.</p>
