Rumsfeld knew U.S. tortured and killedPosted by Synfinatic on February 17, 2009 at 5:21 pm in News.Wow. Just wow. Rumsfeld Knew His Guys Were Torturing People to Death
Almost therePosted by Synfinatic on November 25, 2007 at 12:54 pm in News.So after about 3 days of work, the new server (Malbec, which continues my naming convention of alcohol) is now running almost all of the services for my domains. As mentioned before, the new box is very noticeably faster, which was the main goal. It’s most noticeable for the database backed web services which was in some cases too painful to use.

New server time…Posted by Synfinatic on November 22, 2007 at 1:30 pm in News.The current server (1.25Ghz G4 MacMini w/ 1GB of RAM) running all of synfin.net is showing it’s age and limitations, so I’ve bought a new one (2Ghz Core2Duo MacMini w/ 2GB of RAM). Definitely a lot faster, so I’m pretty stoked. Of course this means that there will be intermittent service over the next few days as services are migrated over and tested. So please bear with me.

Flowreplay is deadPosted by Synfinatic on October 10, 2007 at 11:22 am in News, tcpreplay.I’m officially killing flowreplay as a future feature of tcpreplay. After giving more thought to this problem and where protocols and applications are going, it’s become clear to me that the goals of flowreplay are unobtainable. Tags: dead, flowreplay, tcpreplay
I feel like I’m in Alice and WonderlandPosted by Synfinatic on August 15, 2007 at 6:34 pm in News, Politics.Today was a pretty important day in San Francisco. After reading Wired’s coverage of the 9th Circuit hearing on the NSA’s spying, and AT&T’s alleged complicity, I’m left hopeful that the three judges will do the right thing and let both cases move forward. Allowing the government to get away with using the state secrets argument as a shield against inquiries into how it apparently violated the Constitution opens up a Pandora’s Box of unchecked abuses against innocent citizens. My only concern right now is that this case hasn’t gotten enough publicity in the mainstream media to cause a public outcry to force Congress to do actually do something rather then talk about it. Rather, they’ve let …
No more 5th AmendmentPosted by Synfinatic on July 19, 2007 at 2:50 pm in News, Politics, Rant.You didn’t really need it anyways right? And here I thought you needed to go through Congress to alter the Constitution. Apparently, I didn’t pay enough attention in my US Gov’t class, because apparently the President can just declare it null and void.
Nework maintenancePosted by Synfinatic on August 2, 2006 at 4:30 pm in News, tcpreplay.According to Speakeasy: On Wednesday night/Thursday morning, August 9th and August 10th 2006, we Maintenance will begin at 11:59 PM PDT on Wednesday night and end by So expect synfin.net to go dark for a little while I guess…
More site newsPosted by Synfinatic on June 13, 2006 at 8:01 pm in News.Well looks like Speakeasy had about a 2hr DSL outtage at my POP so my site went down. Doh. Oh well things are back up and everything seems grand. On a completely unrelated note, I’ve just re-enabled Project Honeypot for synfin.net. If you haven’t setup a honey pot MX record or added some hidden links to your site, take a few minutes and start netting some spammers. Also, I’ve made it easier to leave a comment by removing the captcha and switching to Askimet to filter spam. So far it’s caught 24 out of 24 comment spams attempted on the site, so I’m pretty happy with it.
Where does one begin?Posted by Synfinatic on February 12, 2006 at 5:25 pm in News, Rant.Your random quiz for the day: a) Bringing a gun to school b) Selling drugs to his classmates c) Joking that the powered sugar for his science experiment was cocaine Meanwhile… Vice President Dick Cheney made a far more serious judgement error and shot someone in the head but apparently that’s ok. (Yes, they’re calling it an “accident,” but any experianced hunter knows that they need to keep tabs on all members of their hunting party at all times and be aware of what they are shooting at, both of which Cheney failed to do in this case.)
Moved to WordPressPosted by Synfinatic on December 26, 2005 at 8:13 pm in News, Security.Well I finally got sick of writing custom code/templates (I’ve used static files using templates/Makefiles as well as dynamic pages using Perl/HTML::Mason). While I’m quite proficent with Class::DBI and PostgreSQL, it just wasn’t worth the effort of writing all the administrator forms for managing content.
