Because there are only two other, aftermarket, SMS clients on Android this may not be an obvious thing. Android phones are operating on cross network carriers. CDMA and GSM networks are being used and they process SMS messages differently. CDMA networks have a limit of 160 characters to each SMS. Because of this if a [...]

Blackbook now supports two themes in the SMS client (Bubbles and Stock). You can toggle the them via the menu option (nice and easy). I fixed a couple of bugs last night, and completely removed the kill pill that is in the BETA version. The pro version will receive all updates from now on. There [...]

VirtualBox guest additions installs a video driver called vboxvideo. It allows for the machine to adjust its resolution to the dimensions of the application windows. It also allows for seamless mouse movement between the host machine and the virtual window. I manage a server that runs VirtualBox to host several machines. The host is located [...]

Implementing SSL on your server is relatively straight forward. Its funny how things always seem relatively straight forward after you finally get it implemented. Apahce2, in Debian, starts with the ports.conf file. Add NameVirtualHost *:80 to support regular virtual hosts, and also a *:443. Enable mod ssl: sudo a2enmod ssl Then for your regular virtual [...]

Modern Linux distributions use udev which automount partitions to the system. This is most notably seen with usb device that are the predominant hot swappable media. Internal hard drives, particularly drives that are used to boot the system, have their mount points defined in the fstab file. Fstab is automatically generated during the Debian/Ubuntu installation [...]

Yes, I know it sounds funny. You can work locally from a remote location. I am specifically referring to use of LTSP. I am managing a server for a company, and I will be placing the server in an air conditioned server room; and I don’t want to sit in that room all day long. [...]

SSH can create forward and reverse tunnels to transmit port data through the encrypted connection. You can create forward tunnels that link the local port of the client machine to the remote port on the server. You can create reverse tunnels that link the remote ports of the server to the local ports on the [...]

Server side includes allow for external html documents to be injected into a page prior to it rendering on the client web browser. The benifit of this is eliminating the need to repetitiously repeat code over and over again. If you include the same scripts, on each of your website pages, you can create an [...]

I’m using LTSP to manage a server remotely in a local facility. I setup an LTSP server on the host machine, and will place it in an air-conditioned room to preserve longevity. I configured a machine, of much lower power, to PXE boot from the server. There are several nuances to setting up an LTSP [...]
