I was mowing my yard yesterday and trying to catch up on my podcasts. One of my favorites is Diggnation, which is hosted by Kevin Rose the founder of Digg and his Friend Alex Albrecht. This is a great podcast if you want to keep up with current culture as welll as current technology from about a 10,000 ft view. Anyway at the end of the show they mentioned Tubes. Tube is a product that acts like an IM client but also allows you to create custom P2P networks for your IM Friends. What is even cooler is that fact that you have lots of granular access control over the files once they end up in your online-share. Products like Hamachi were able to do this by creating a PC to PC VPN then allowing file sharing between the PC’s but that was cludgy. This is the whole package in one client. So far its a Win32 only app but they are working on a OS X version and I would guess a linux version also. With 2 Gig of free storage this could be a killer app for small companies and distributed work forces.  Anyway not going to go on an on about it but check out Tubes this could be the next big thing.

I’m going to make this quick and to the point. Look for details in my upcoming post “Cacti the killer monitoring app? I have now installed Ubuntu 7.04 Server and Cacti in some form more than 18 times in the past two weeks. Most of those have been a frustrating failure! I am by no means a *nix god so most of my problems probably had to do with not knowing the ins and outs of the Ubuntu OS. My failures can probably also be directly attributed to a lack of 7.04 install guides for cacti. So with so many failed attempts and 3 Fully successful attempts both on HP hardware, Dell Hardware and a VM Ware server Virtual Machine I am going to post my 8 basic steps to making cacti work.

Back on March 19th of this year I posted, “Three weeks in two, bah who needs sleep.”, I must have lied because between those two weeks and the subsequent crazy weeks following I pretty much fell off the map. During the aforementioned two weeks though I visited Ottawa, Canada for Sales and Engineering training for CryptoCard. For me trips like this are exciting not for the trip but for the time I get to spend with other professionals learning, hanging out and passing on our tricks to each other. During a break on the training routine our instructor Patrick posed a question something to the affect of; if we don’t like spam and attacks and we know that 20 to 30% of all spam and attacks come from North Korea and China then why don’t we block them at the edge?

Not much to say here. This points to Cisco’s site. I just got tired of googling it. Enjoy.
