Suramya's Blog : Welcome to my crazy life…

Started keeping a new blog called Knowledge @Suramya.com. This blog will be a place for me to store all the interesting things/tips/resources I find and think are useful. It will contain everything from links to interesting articles to computer definitions to tutorials.

Since I am very interested in computer security there are links here to software/tutorials that explain how to test computer security. These are for informational purposes only and if you decide to use them to break into a system that you don’t own then you are doing it at your own risk, if you get into trouble don’t blame me.

Originally all this info was supposed to be in a KnowledgeBase but I didn’t find any KB software which I liked so I decided to keep a Blog instead.

Check it out and let me know what you think of it.

After a long time I went through my unpublished picture collection and uploaded some of them to the Photogallery. Special thanks to Priya for scanning and emailing me the pics from my <a href="https://www.suramya.com/blog/exit.php?url_id=103&amp;entry_id=90" title="http://photos.suramya.com/index.php?sect=5" onmouseover="window.status=’http://photos.suramya.com/index.php?sect=5′;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">Highschool graduation party</a>. <br />
<br />
I also added pictures taken during my <a href="https://www.suramya.com/blog/exit.php?url_id=104&amp;entry_id=90" title="http://photos.suramya.com/index.php?sect=45&under=6" onmouseover="window.status=’http://photos.suramya.com/index.php?sect=45&under=6′;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">Trip to Florida</a> in March of 2004 to the photogallery. I was planning on uploading more pics but am tired so will upload them later (Have another few hundred pics to sort)<br />
<br />
Well this is all for now. More updates soon.<br />

Upgraded the Serendipity Suite to the latest version. I don’t think there were any problems during installation nor were there any problems in converting the old data to the new format.

However I may be wrong so let me know if you encounter any bugs.

Done moving the site to the new server. The site seems to be running ok and I think I managed to move all the files/data without any loss (Unlike previous time when I lot about a week of stats).

I think everything is working, but if you find something that isn’t let me know.

Posted a new article titled ‘How to Setup a Jabber Server‘ in the Linux Tutorials section of the site. In this article I document the steps I took to setup a working Jabber Server installation with Conferencing on a Linux system. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I will be moving the site to a new hosting service sometime this week. (As soon as I get access to the new server). While I don’t think that the site would have any downtime, accidents may happen. So if the site goes down over the next few days its ’cause I am moving to a new server.

I will keep you posted on this.

After a long time I have posted a new article on Computer Usability Vs Security. In this article I try to figure out if Computer Security and Computer Usability are two opposite directions in computer systems. Check it out and let me know what you think about it.
