HOW TO RESET WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES 3 MONTH TRIAL Warning: greyhat content. Thanks to a Microsoft article, I’ve found out that it is very easy to extend your Windows Terminal Services 3-month trial or experience time. It’s so easy that I’m sure many administrators have done this in their own systems, while waiting for their managers or financial staff to buy the definitive licenses (not being hypocrite here). Following these instructions, you don’t have to crack Windows Terminal Services.

Great. As GoDaddy’s prices are so low, I’ve decided to pay for a web hosting (so cheap!) and host this blog there. Unfortunately I’ve lost my old site’s layout, so I’ll have to start that from stratch. Argh. It’s so painful to draw web sites. I’ll see if Macromedia can give me hand (Fireworks, Dreamweaver, etc).

Hi. Some fellows from nagios-users list have requested more information about my solution to integrate nagios 2.0 with mysql, so here it is. Since nagios 2.0 doesn’t have built-in support for mysql, we have to find another way to integrate this software with a custom interface that reads a database. A way to do that is to use service performance data (service_perfdata). You’ll need to setup service_perfdata_file to a “log” of service perfomance data, and design a service_perfdata_file_template.

Monitorar o status de serviços e servidores de TI é uma tarefa complexa, mas bastante importante. Para um administrador - pelo menos para mim - ser o último a saber que um serviço saiu do ar é extremamente constrangedor. Com essa preocupação, planejei um sistema de monitoramento de serviços que fosse confiável e flexível. O primeiro desafio, entretanto, seria adaptar a feia interface do Nagios a um sistema mais “visual” e intuitivo.

Batman Begins, the next movie about Batman to be released soon, was directed by Christopher Nolan, the director of Memento, which was a really great movie, and Insomnia. Although it can be better than those terrible prequels, we shouldn’t not expect the quality of Tim Burton’s now classics Batman and Batman Returns.

Joel Schumacher is the worst movie director in hollywood. Check his filmography at IMDB.

Do you have a digital camera, or anyway want to host many pictures in the web, but can’t afford to pay for the bandwidth that would usually cost? Free images hosting services are here to help us on that. To the be quick, imageshack.us and bighosting.net are the best services. Tinypic.com is ok, but it’s basically a bootlagged version of the first ones. There is also strike9.com and photobucket.com, but these require registration, and offer limited services for free accounts.

It’s quite simple: google for “hydracefallus”. It’s a unique, misspelled word that only seems to appear in that book(and now in this blog). Obviously, downloading that book without paying is illegal, yet it’s ironic that “Google Hacks” teaches just that kind of tricks. Many would agree that book should be also labeled “how to find pirated or innocently stored oreilly books on the web”. =] Archived Comments Original comment from: Yves Junqueira - May 1, 2005

O gmail trouxe uma nova realidade pro meu cotidiano. Pude assinar diversas listas interessantes, que eu nunca podia passinar pela dificuldade de guardar as mensagens - e de organizá-las. O resultado é que o tráfego de mensagens que agora recebo diariamente é enorme. Da maioria, como nas mensagens da bugtraq, leio apenas os assuntos. No final das contas, passo muito mais tempo lendo e-mails do que propriamente “navegando”. Assim, se eu fosse de fato um blogger, eu não seria um “blogger”, e sim um “mlogger” - um maillogger, e relataria o que vejo diariamente na minha caixa de e-mails.
