I’ve had some email problems over the past few weeks. If you’ve sent email to me or anyone @erdelynet.com (or Chris’s domain), don’t think you were ignored. It was my fault. Please re-send your email.

I’m adding a new category to my site. Books. I like to read. I read a lot of Stephen King. His Dark Tower Series is fantastic. I absolutely loved how he tied the Dark Tower into so many of this other books. So, in this category, I’m going to include content (content is king) about books I’ve read.

On a recent flight back from Bellevue, Washington, I saw that King had a new book out. I don’t remember if I’d heard about it prior to seeing it in the airport, but I picked up Stephen King’s Cell.

Right now you should take a minute to support the OpenBSD Project.

Chances are, if you’re viewing my website (geek!), you’ve used their work. They’ve developed OpenSSH. This software is included with operating systems from Apple Mac OS X to Redhat Enterprise Linux to Sun Solaris (pretty much all of them but Windows) as well as HP, Cisco and other hardware vendors’ devices. These operating system and hardware companies have been including OpenSSH with their products for years, which saved them the time to develop it on their own.

And that’s just OpenSSH. I’m not even going to get into why OpenBSD deserves your support… that should be self evident through the rest of the content on my site.

Free software is a double edged sword…

The OpenBSD team has released patches for sendmail on OpenBSD 3.9 (to be released May 1), 3.8 and 3.7.

I’ve created a binpatch for 3.8.

I’ve added OpenBSD Errata information to the sidebar on my site.

I use a cron job to download the errata web pages from http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html (and, errata38.html, etc) once every three hours. I have a screen scraping script I modified to create an RSS feed for the OpenBSD Errata.

Finally, I use the GetRSS plugin to display the feed on my Wordpress pages.
