One of the most effective ways to secure a Windows workstation is to turn off unnecessary services. This reference sheet lists the Windows XP SP 2 services, describes each service’s function, specifies whether you can safely disable the service, and outlines the ramifications of disabling the service.
Good Information. Check it out.

Interesting software to try out for network monitoring. Hopefully it will be simpler to use/setup than some of the other software I have tried earlier.
Nice Tutorial on Ajax and what it is good for. Interesting read.

A good tutorial on how to program Multi-threaded applications.
Really good article introducing Artificial Intelligence to the general public.

Added a new webforum to the gWiFi.net site to allow visitors to post their feedback and suggest new Hot Spots for inclusion in the Database.
Check it out and let me know what you think of it.
Thanks,

As some of you might know I am back in Kansas City for the next few days while the final acceptability testing for my project is done. Staying in the same hotel as before which is cool. The funny part is that the last time I was here I had a huge suitcase and my room was on the second floor and this time I am carrying a laptop case and a backback my room is on the firstfloor (Ground floor to all the people in India).
The trip here was interesting too, my flight left Newark at 6:40 am to Cleveland from where I caught a connecting flight to Kansas City (The earliest direct flight was at 3 pm). I got to the Newark airport at 5:30 am and since I had no luggage I was able to check-in using the eticket counter without having to stand in line. The flight got delayed so I landed in Clevland 25 mins before my flight was supposed to depart and the gate was all the way across the airport. I ran all the way there and was the second last person to board the plane before they stopped boarding.
Overall an interesting trip so far. Now its time for me to sleep, so that I can wakeup early tomorrow.
Will post more later.

Did I mention that I really really dislike Derby? No.. Well now you know.
What on earth is wrong with the Derby developers, is it really really that hard to print sensible error messages? It is? Then maybe they need to hire a 4 year old as they would be able to suggest some more intelligent error messages. Don’t believe me? Check out the following error message:
ij> select * from blahs;
ERROR 42X05: DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -1, SQLSTATE: 42X05, SQLERRMC: BLAHS42X05
Is it really so hard to just say that ‘blahs’ doesn’t exist like any other DB would? If thats not enough there is no way of looking at the table structure (At least not that I could find) or my personal faveroite: no way todump an entire DB to a file for archiving or convertion to another DB. Every other DB I have worked with has let me do this but derby… Arrghh…
In case you are wondering I wasted almost all day today with Scott trying to export data from Derby to Postgresql. Finally Scott ended up creating a Java program to read the data from derby and create SQL statements which can them be imported in any DB.
If any Derby developer is reading this: get your act together, the goal is not to make an impossible to use DB (Though if it was then you have suceeded) it is to make a simple and user friendly system… Go read a few books on usability
