syslog-ng on cygwin

I am developing some PERL scripts for OMNIbus/Netcool at work.  Because my company restricts freedom and discourages innovation, we are stuck on Microsoft.  Luckily they haven't locked us down to the point where we can not install new software.   So I've become a big fan of Cygwin.  I've never used heroin, but I suspect my use of Cygwin is much like an addict's use of Methadone.  It keeps me alive, just barely. Anyway, this piece of knowledge was not the most straightforward piece to find, or I'm just an idiot (not that those are mutually exclusive.)  However on the winblows box, syslong-ng runs under Cygwin and even sets itself up as a service which is cool. Side Note:  if you want to upgrade Cygwin and are getting file in use problems and are running syslog-ng, you probably need to shutdown the service during upgrades. Anyway, marking and statistics in /var/log/messages on winblows are pointless and just consume disk space.   Normal goo...

SSID design considerations with multiple band access point

I have a Netgear WNDAP360 ap which is pretty hard core for home use.  It was an upgrade from a previous netgear prosafe ap that just 802.11b/g.  The WNDAP360 is 802.11a/b/g/n and supports dual radio data pathing for much faster throughput. When I had just the single radio AP I used 2 different SSIDs, one for the trusted wireless network at home and one for the untrusted.  Why 2 for home?  Well, when family members visit with Microsoft boxes they clearly get put on untrusted, while Linux and Apple generally go on the trusted side. So when I implemented the dual radio AP, I initially created SSIDs with the same name on each of the different radios.  So for the A radio, I used untrusted and trusted SSIDs.  Then on the B radio, I used untrusted and trusted.  I figured that devices would happily discover both untrusted and both trusted and pick the radio that was the fastest.  In practice however, that was not the case.  Devices seemed to lock...

Xubuntu on an HP z420

This is my primary work computer. I recently decided to switch from Fedora to Xubuntu. I still like Fedora, but we are using more Ubuntu at work and I need to get myself more familiar with that way of doing things. I am copying a lot of the configuration that I did with my Sager NP9758 laptop configuration. After updating an rebooting, I enabled the Nvidia binary drivers and Intel binary blob. Next step let's get google chrome on here as well as firefox http://askubuntu.com/questions/510056/how-to-install-google-chrome wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install google-chrome-beta Apparently installing beta Google Chrome results in a second apt source being created. This causes an error when running `sudo apt-get update`. To fix `sudo v...
