phpAlbum

I recently had the urge to upload my favorite photos to my website, but the amount of effort required to do so was too much for me, that was until I was pointed into the direction of phpAlbum.

Now this library is really good. To test drive just hit my album.

Ubuntu VPN, Microsoft Remote Access Quarantine

I finally discovered why my Ubuntu connects to my office via VPN and then disconnects shortly thereafter. My company's VPN server is Windows 2003 server machine and theyinstalled what is called Remote Access Quarantine, so if my client machine does not let the VPN server know that my machine is clean and safe, the VPN server disconnects me.

The tool required to do this is called "Remote Quarantine Connect (rqc.exe)", now I have not found any Linux tool that has the same functionality than rqc.exe to let my server know my machine is safe for use on the VPN.

I will just need to create a VM to connect to work from my Ubuntu box or just keep on using my Windows XP at home and Ubuntu at work.

Ubuntu vs Windows XP, Default fonts screen shots

I reconsidered posting screen shots of the fonts used on Ubuntu and Windows XP. Both screen shots are from Firefox 2.0.

The Windows XP screen shot.


The Ubuntu screen shot.



Also take note of my Amiga theme running on Ubuntu, I like it for some reason.
