I was quite surprised to find my server had been somewhat “compromised” so to speak. I was always focused on fighting spam in email, but overlooked other vulnerabilities. Occasionally I would happen to notice strange wiki entry references in the logs. I never put two and two together until today. I used group permissions to override the default “unauthenticated user” and only permit those authorized users to post. I received the iHome IH-U550FB 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub as a gift. I immediately noticed the configuration and said this will work great with my MacBook Pro. Sure enough, it seems as though iHome had Mac users in mind. So I set about to install the AWStats tool. Downloading the archive from Sourceforge was the easy part. I then set about trying find specific instructions for my Leopard Server. That’s when the fun began, and Google got a good workout. Thanks to Galen Sprague’s blog, it got me headed in the right direction. But a few tweaks were still in order. I suppose I could / should have done a full erase and clean install, and can always do that if I experience problems. I took the easy (read that, lazy) way out and just inserted the Install DVD and went to work. It took just a bit over an hour to install Snow Leopard. Of course, on the surface I don’t see anything different, but will poke around and check out the subtle differences (if there is much to find.) The new build does take a considerably smaller footprint (about 3GB less than 10.5) and is quite snappy. At $29USD you shouldn’t pass it up for your Intel based Mac. Ok, what we die hard Mac fans have been waiting for, the next release of OS X! Today I received two emails, one directly from Apple this morning (Alaska time) and this afternoon from MacMall. Both announced ‘pre-order now’ to get your copy on Friday the 28th. Of course, I plopped down the $29 to Apple (which included shipping.) So, run, don’t walk and pre-order your copy of 10.6. After never being able to upgrade WordPress in any sort of automatic, or painless, way, I’ve finally stumbled upon a configuration that seems to work. In the end, it’s all a matter of ownership and permissions, at least in my case. On my quest to figure out SEO, Search Engine Optimization. I still don’t understand (well, maybe I’m starting to) why my site doesn’t show in Google. |    | |||||
