Ugly IE security issues
Jun 29th
Glad I’m using Firefox and Mozilla!
Here’s the specs on the two for one special compromise: Compromised Web Sites Infect Web Surfers
And here’s the second one that listens for SSL connections and records the password info BEFORE getting encrypted: BHO scanning tool and New Scam Targets Bank Customers
For those of you using IE, I might recommend switching. Although its your computer, your passwords, your data, and your money – do as you please!

I’m now syndicated on johnezzo.com. Nice!
My RSS feed can be found here: http://www.rsbauer.com/rssfeed.php
A nifty feature is you can specify how many articles you want.
By default, its just 10. But if you want more or less, you can do: http://www.rsbauer.com/rssfeed.php?perpage=[number of articles you want]

The title “RSBauer, RBauer, Rob Bauer”
Jun 3rd
Ok, so I’m messing with Google a little bit. Call it my little Google
experiment. There’s a lot of rbauer’s and Rob Bauer’s, but none seem to
point back to my site. So I’m working on fixing that with the title.
I’m going to go check the web log right now and see how its been going…

Posting from Email
May 21st
As you can see in the next 2 posts, I can post from email as well as my cell phone. Nifty. I still have some bugs to work out. But this should be fun.

Its 2am. Will my PHP code parse?
Mar 15th
Looks like I can still code and debug at wacky hours of the night. Or, at least I still think I can! (I better double check my code.)
AXTime.com got updated this evening.
Had an idea brewing for the past month or so and hadn’t been able to get it to percolate. For some reason, this afternoon it materialized and in an almost crystal clear form. Odd. They usually don’t come to me like that. Sadly, I was busy with AXTime.com and didn’t get a chance to hammer away at my idea.
I managed to get some packing done (can you find the lizard in the pic?).

Dual GPSs
Mar 14th
So back in 2000 I picked up Rand McNally’s “Deluxe” bundle which included TripMaker, StreetFinder, and a GPS unit. The 3 worked well together and I was pleasantly surprised how accurate and quickly the GPS unit would lock on. This setup navigated me out of some funky Miami neighborhoods.
Fast forward to today and I find the 2000 edition doesn’t run well on XP (even their GPS unit doesn’t work with their software). Their GPS unit does work with Netstumbler. So I picked up the Rand McNally’s 2004 edition and still no go. Contacted tech support and no luck there either. I bought Delorme’s Streets & Maps (or something like that) which came bundled with their GPS unit. The software has taken a little bit of time to get used to, but is surprisingly easy to use. The voice prompting works well although gets a little lost in with all the noise in the car (patching it through to the cassette deck works well).
So now I have 2 GPS units. Delorme’s Earthmate seems to work well across all my software. But what will I do with the Rand McNally one? Wardrive! The Rand McNally unit still works with Netstumbler and I leave it on COM2. I’ve got the Earthmate setup on COM4. Now when I wardrive, I can plot the WAPs and keep track of where I’ve been on the map. Is it practical? Heck no! But still a lot of fun!

Site Server Info
Feb 22nd
Its always nice to know what a web site is running in terms of server operating system. Now you can quickly find out. Plus it will tell you who the IP network block owner is (handy for figuring out who the Internet service provider (ISP) is) as well as does a DNS lookup to find out the domain name owner information. Check it out.

File formats
Feb 12th
Note to self: When web developing, make sure the CR/LF format is one the web server prefers!
Lost 3 hours because the web server didn’t like the CR/LF to be in Mac flavor. Finally switched the file to PC flavor and the script in question worked like a charm.
