Online Backup from Spideroak
While researching online backup solutions I've stumbled across a winner... SpiderOak. The tipping point for me was the 2G of free storage with the ability to pay for more if you need more. I can back up my most critical data now for free. Did you catch the free part?

Other features I liked a lot include:
  • Cross-platform support. They have client software for Windows (2000, XP and Vista), Mac (OS X Tiger and Leopard) and even Linux...particularly my favorite distro Ubuntu with either 32bit or 64bit versions no less!
  • Data "de-duplication" - a process where their software recognizes duplicate files even if they have different file names, and only stores that file once. So I don't have to go clean up my files before starting to use a backup service to save space? Sweet!
  • Incremental file backups at the block level, not the file level - this is a huge bandwidth and space saver. It's this technology that also allows Spideroak to offer restore of historical versions of files backed up.
  • Client-based encryption of my data - the folks in the data center can't read my source code or accounting spreadsheets because they're encrypted before they're sent from my computer
Like what you see? I did too so I signed up for my free 2G account. Not a free trial like the other guys - a free 2G account.

You can get started with Spideroak at www.spideroak.com.

CD and DVD Utilities ategory
There's a new category for CD and DVD Utilities which includes just about any sort of utility you would use to rip, author, burn, copy, fold, spindle & mutilate CDs or DVDs.

Initial utilities added are:
  • DVD Flick
  • BurnOn CD&DVD
  • InfraRecorder
  • Ashampoo Burning Studio Free 6.75
  • CDBurnerXP

    In particular, DVD Flick is a utility I'm used quite a bit and recommend for creating DVDs from various video formats. It's improved significantly in recent versions with the addition of menu templates.

    Spam Survey
    I'm pleased to present you with my first ever, terribly non-scientific spam survey. I reviewed 1010 spam messages collected over the course of a month from two domains that I manage. I reviewed each message and categorized it based on the text-only content. I did not open attachments, and I certainly did not follow URLs.

    The reason this is non-scientific is because:
    1. I failed to collect several key points of data including the actual time range the messages are from.
    2. There's an excellent chance that many messages were zapped by my server-based spam filtering thus reducing the range of categories seen here
    3. Virus spam isn't represented at all: virus-laden mail never hits my inbox because the server-based filter catches some and my anti-virus software (Trend Micro Internet Security) catches the rest
    4. The email client I used for these domains (Mozilla Thunderbird) doesn't always categorize spam properly and I regularly just delete it from my inbox rather than take the time to recategorize the messages as spam so the filter improves. This ensures that spam messages were lost rather than included in the survey.
    5. The email addresses are on commercial domains so there aren't any "drive by" spam messages that you'd see on Yahoo, Hotmail or even Gmail now. These would be messages that spammers send by automatically generating (geek-speak for "guessing" using a program) email addresses.

    Enough nonsense, on to the results:

    Website Hacking Brief
    Ever wonder what sort of traces a hacker leaves behind when they are probing for vulnerabilities on your website? I though it would be entertaining to give you some details of a very recent probe of another website that I manage.

    The website is an in-house system for a customer of mine that has it open to the Internet so they can access their web-based CRM software from outside the office. They're running a Triad-style (aka WAMP) setup of Apache, PHP and MySQL on a Windows server.

    It looks to me like the hacker was running a script of some sort that was looking for known vulnerabilities in several web-based applications like Joomla, LiveAlbum, Focus, phpSiteBackup, PhpRealty, NuclearBB, and Smarty Cart. This would make the hacker either (a) lazy, or (b) a Script Kiddy who doesn't actually know what he's doing beyond running tools other folks have written and released on the Internet.

    How to convert a Zebra 105SL from 300dpi to 200dpi or vice versa
    There are essentially only three differences between the 200dpi and 300dpi versions of the Zebra 105SL:
    1. the printhead,
    2. the pulley on the drive motor, and
    3. the factory model setting.
    In a nutshell to convert either direction you need to replace the printhead, replace the motor (the pulley is press-fitted and therefore not field replaceable), and change the model setting in the factory menu.

    Zebra part numbers:
    G32433M 105SL 300dpi printhead (list $575)
    G32432-1M 105SL 203dpi printhead (list $470)
    G46199M 105SL DC Stepper Drive Motor with 300dpi pulley (list $81)
    G46198M 105SL DC Stepper Drive Motor with 203dpi pulley (list $80)

    Changing the Model Setting:
    1. Power on the printer while holding the '-' key and hold until all the lights flash.
    2. Press Next/Save until you see 'Model Select'
    3. Select 105-8 for 203dpi or 105-12 for 300dpi
    4. Press the right arrow to save that setting
    5. Power off the printer, count to 10, and power it back on to test

    Outlook 2003 address book is empty
    Symptoms:
    Outlook 2003 has contacts but the address book is empty. When addressing email the addresses will auto-fill when you begin to type an address but if you click on "To/CC/BCC" it comes up with an empty address book. In addition, if you click on the folder properties for the contacts or subfolders under contacts the option to use as an addressbook is shaded.

    Solution:
    Your contacts will not be deleted by this process but you really ought to back them up anyway just to be safe.
    1. On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
    2. Click to select View or change existing directories or address books, and then click Next.
    3. If your Outlook Address Book is listed, select it and click Delete,
    4. Restart Outlook.
    5. On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
    6. Click to select View or change existing directories or address books, and then click Next.
    7. Click Add.
    8. Click to select Additional Address Books, and then click Next.
    9. Click to select Outlook Address Book, and then click Next.
    10. Click OK when you receive the prompt that the address book you added will not start until you click Exit from the File menu.
    11. Click Finish.
    12. Click Exit from the File menu, and then restart Outlook.
    Now you'll want to verify that the contacts folder(s) are set properly:
    1. On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Properties for your folder name.
    2. On the Outlook Address Book tab, click to select the Show this folder as an e-mail address book check box, type a descriptive name, and then click OK.
    3. Repeat for any subfolders in contacts
    Notes:
    I believe in my case this problem cropped up after using the Windows Vista (Business edition) migration expert to copy data from a Windows XP Professional system.

    Steps provided above were included in Microsoft Support Article #287563 although that article didn't specifically address the problem existing when the Outlook Address Book service was already present.
