Last Sunday I had a new customer sign up to our Linux Server Management company and one of the issues they were receiving was bandwidth overages for continual outbound DoS attacks their system was performing but they were unable to track. So in effort to find the initial cause of this with no real data [...]

Today I finally got around to rooting my UK T-mobile G1,

While I work with and “hack” linux all day long modifying my phone was something I have never had the real urge to do. I very rarely use my phone as I always either have or am close to a computer/laptop and the t-mobile 3g signal is useless. I decided as I have some free time today that I will give it a go anyway – to my surprise it is actually surprisingly easy, all of the work is already done for you amongst the very large community of users.

I initially looked at these 2 forums,

forum.xda-developers.com
modmygphone.com

So it has been over 3 years since I created this blog and I have exactly 3 entries to date. Blogging is something I have always been meaning to do but never actually got round to it. I wouldn’t consider myself a true blogger but I am devoted to giving it a go anyway.

Not knowing what to write about is generally what made me always not bother and then when there is a subject I am actually not that good at being creative. The truth is though it is actually just lazyness that has stopped be.

So from today onwards I have decided to have an average of 2 blog posts per month and these can be about anything be it useful information, a rant about a product/service or just a general meaningless post.
