It would seem that the world over are going QR code or QR tag you are even starting to see them in the us in a few magazines and web sites mainly on the west coast. Even Google is jumping on the bang wagon and if Google does it Microsoft cant be to far behind… well not quite, M$ has created there own code and there own reader that is in no way shape or form even remotely compatible with good all QR code

can you guess which is which. Now I have no clue why M$ would other than Google supports one so they want to be different or even they want to create a new standard. So in essence we have a whole new standards war forget Xbox or Playstion, even HD DVD or Blu-ray we now have Microsoft Tag vs QR Code another in a long line of East coast West coast rivalry. 

Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.1

A lot of people have jumped on the Mac bandwagon, even to the point of hacking it on a non Mac computer… Including me. I have always like Mac since 8.1 and have worked with it on and off. But I cold never bring myself to buy one just to expensive and I need windows, I know need is such a strong word but its true everything I need to do is written for windows. It’s simple if you work in the real world you have to use windows and that is pretty impressive to have the whole world hooked to your brand. So I finally read about Mac going to Intel chips, and how that improved the promise of a Mac OS on a non Mac computer coupled by the fact that the underling code in a Mac is BSD and I worked heavenly with Linux at a Data Centre with Dedicated Servers which were almost always Linux Red Hat, BSD, Centos and Fedora Core. So I could finally have both my Linux fix and Mac all in the same serving.

 

I bought a Lenovo S10e from Japan for 3500円 not a bad price at all and it promise to be ultra portable and run Mac very well.

 

I dived into in and download the MSIWind 10.5.5 and ran it very well in try boot with XP, 7

 

XP for work, 7 to test and it just look and performed a lot better than XP and then my Mac that ran well and did a lot so much better than windows but a few things just did not work as well and I have to switch OS to do with a need done; like Liver writer whish is a joy to work with i run asdm tool for Cisco routers and SecureCRT for routers , Switches and those like and a host of other apps that I have to have if I am to work. But for the things that Mac does It does right, with the underlying code that is BSD i run tons of Linux apps that makes the os a dream to have. I have updated the Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and it is Fast, Fun, Freaking awesome to look at.

 

There are lots of tools out there but I used the the Snow Leopard Enabler [RTM] you mush read the manual; if you follow that manual that is all you will need its that simple. Done.

Windows 7 Upgrade from beta to final

Now if you are like me and have tested Windows 7 to the fullest and do not want to wipe one last time then this is for you. I have used Windows 7 for a Year now and enjoy it very much so but did not want to have to wipe my machine so here is a work around that can help elevate your Windows 7 migration blues

 

The upgrade is possible. You just have to do a bit of mucking around. To perform the upgrade, do the following:

  1. Copy the contents of the ISO or DVD to a separate storage location (such as a bootable USB storage device, a separate partition or whatever)
  2. Open the file \sources\cversion.ini in a text editor and modify the MinClient number to a number lower than the version Windows 7 that you want to upgrade from – so for the beta you would set this to something like 6900.
  3. Save the file and then run the install routine from the location with the modified file

Full metal is back in a new series the will more closely follow the manga and not the fork left by the anime or the movies. Now since I don’t read the FMA manga this is going to be all new to me. I loved the fullmetal season one anime it was good up to the point were the kill my boy Maes Hughes マース・ヒューズ; but overall this is was a great series.  What season 2 has in store for us no one knows but I can wait Its been almost 4 years since we had any Alchemy

This is a very cool anime, about Kamina and Simon and there rise above all odds, dare to dream big and aim for the stars.
This is a world were humans a trapped underground and there is no exsistance other than that; but one man name Kamina dares to question that belief. This has lots of really good fight scences and packed with slap stick comedic moments

It’s been awhile huh? OpenSSL, hmailserver, atmail web client

I have been working on alot of projects. I have uupgrade to 2.7 and migrated from a single core 1gig machine to a dual core 2.gig machine running 2008 64-bit.

installed a new mail server hmailserver had to get rid of my exchange 2007 server. It ws jsut to big to bulk and was not rigth for my needs in any way. For my web needs a tried a few products before settling on atmail web client community edition, and it all works great

installed OpenSSL for windows so i could have an self signed ssl cert. I have done this in the pass abouat 4 years ago and i though I would do it again.

the download is easy and straight forward after you install the software open the command promt and cd to the directory
[x32]cd C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\share
[x64]cd C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\share
Then go to [x64] cd C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin
or go to [x32]cd C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\biin

run this command copy openssl.cnf c:\usr\local\ssl

then you can run these simple commands

Step 1: Generate a Private Key
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
…………………………………………………++++++
……..++++++
e is 65537 (0×10001)
Enter PEM pass phrase:
Verifying password – Enter PEM pass phrase:

Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:CH
State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:Bern
Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:Oberdiessbach
Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Akadia AG
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Information Technology
Common Name (eg, your name or your server’s hostname) []:public.akadia.com
Email Address []:martin dot zahn at akadia dot ch
Please enter the following ‘extra’ attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:

Step 3: Remove Passphrase from Key
copy server.key server.key.org
openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key

The newly created server.key file has no more passphrase in it.

-rw-r–r– 1 root root 745 Jun 29 12:19 server.csr
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 891 Jun 29 13:22 server.key
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 963 Jun 29 13:22 server.key.org

Step 4: Generating a Self-Signed Certificate
To generate a temporary certificate which is good for 365 days, issue the following command:

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
Signature ok
subject=/C=CH/ST=Bern/L=Oberdiessbach/O=Akadia AG/OU=Information
Technology/CN=public.akadia.com/Email=martin dot zahn at akadia dot ch
