If you can see this post, then you are viewing this from my new hosting provider. I am going to give Virtual Private Servers (VPS) a try. I just need to migrate the rest of the sites over.

I have just upgraded to WordPress 2.3. So far, so good. My feedburn widget is running correct as far as I can tell. If anyone has any problems please let me know.
Apparently, the google sitemap plugin 2.7.1 is not WP 2.3 compatible.
A CISSP is a certification given out by ISC2.org. They state:
As the first credential accredited by ANSI to ISO Standard 17024:2003 in the field of information security, the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP®) certification provides information security professionals with not only an objective measure of competence but a globally recognized standard of achievement. The CISSP credential demonstrates competence in the 10 domains of the (ISC)² CISSP® CBK®.
So, it is a internationally known information security certification. It is generally recognized as one of the toughest and most comprehensive security certifications out there. However, it is not necessarily a technical certification such as a Checkpoint certification or a Bluecoat certification. It covers a broad spectrum of topics. In fact, it covers 10 domains of information as you can see in the quote above. (Continued)
Well, I did an apt-get upgrade on my Ubuntu 6.10 based mythtv box. It upgraded the kernel for me. This always provides a problem with the IVTV drivers which provide support for my Hauppaugh capture card. This means that I have to recompile them and reinstall.
Usually, for good measure, I download the latest driver for my kernel. Since the update to Dapper Drake kept me at 2.6.15 (upgrade to -28 from -27), I downloaded the 0.4.10 driver.
I also had to rebuild my build environment so that I could recompile and reinstall the driver. I just follow section 5 off of Hyam’s website regarding a MythTV 0.19 install on a Breezy Badger box. It is a little out of date, however, this section is still very relevant.

I have had some new ideas floating around about the website lately. I wanted to be more community centric. I would like to try and get more people to contribute information. However, blogs (in my opinion) are not the best method for this. Blogs are more like a traditional classroom setting. The blogger (teacher) writes about a topic (stands in front of the class) and gives his expertise (hopefully
) or opinion about a subject that he chooses. If anyone on the internet (students) have any questions for blogger, they are free to post them. If not, the blog post stands on its own.
… where a blog post would automatically be entered into a forum. …
A forum however, is much more like a community of learners. The site owner may choose the direction of the forum such as, which topics to talk about, appropriate language, etc. But, the users of the site can help each other through their own means of posting individual questions, opinions, and answers. Blogging is a one to many communication. Forums are a many to many communication. (Continued)
