Open Source Firewall
Posted on July 20th, 2010 No commentsAt work we use commercial Firewall appliances, where the vendors charge a fortune for the updates and support, its poor value for money, so I’m going to be looking into the Open Source alternatives, here’s the ones I’ve identified so far, hopefully I’ll get chance to review them and post my findings - http://www.smoothwall.org/ http://www.ebox-platform.com/ http://www.vyatta.com/ http://www.endian.com/en/community/ http://www.untangle.com/ http://www.astaro.com/ http://www.idecogateway.com/ http://www.zeroshell.net/ http://www.collax.com/produkte/detail/produkt/Schutz-vor-Angriffen http://www.clearfoundation.com/

Free Alternative Software To Commercial Programs
Posted on June 23rd, 2010 No commentsOver the last few years I have been increasing my use of free, open source alternatives to commercial software products for a number of reasons, mainly because of superior features or ease of use in the free products which assist my work, or in some cases because I want to avoid the budget signoff bureaucracy involved with purchasing new software programs (aka. Saving the company money – lol)

Moving to Linux – Finding Alternative Software
Posted on June 10th, 2010 No commentsI’ve been using Linux on servers for years, since before I started learning to code. Finally, after something like 7/8 years I am almost fully confident in severing the ties to my highly underused Windows installation on my personal laptop, but there are still a couple of exceptions

A Simple News System For Basic Websites
Posted on March 10th, 2010 No commentsThis is a very simple news system with comment support which is ideal for adding simple blog/news system functionality to any website needing that kind of system. In the past I'd usually use wordpress as a pre-built solution for adding this kind of content to a site and although you get a lot of extra benefits by using wordpress (as a result of its plugin system) there can be a lot of issues with tweaking the wordpress theme to suite the site. The method of embedding this system is so simple that it can be used easily within any site template and as such it's perfect for quickly adding blogging or news system style functionality to previously static sites or E-Commerce systems where an attempt at tying in wordpress could be very messy in reference to: About The Demo » Phpns » Open Source PHP News System ( view on Google Sidewiki )

Announcing My New Website
Posted on February 8th, 2010 No commentsIt’s been live for a couple of weeks now, although I haven’t done much promotion of it, so here is word of an “official” announcement of my new portfolio site. Please take a look around and if you have any constructive criticism, feedback or advice, feel free to let me know through the usual channels… So without further ado, I pronounce www.jamestitcumb.com officially open!

Question: How does source control work in a non-distributed environment?
Posted on February 5th, 2010 No commentsAt our company we currently all work on one shared network drive. The source code is not under any kind of source control, which for me is a big no-no. I’d love to be able to set up SVN and us all work of separate repositories and just commit back to a trunk or branch, but our tech manager doesn’t agree.

cURL Tips – HTTPS requests
Posted on December 15th, 2009 No commentsToo many times have I seen this in cURL clients: curl_setopt ( $ch , CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST , false ) ; curl_setopt ( $ch , CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER , false ) ; Why is this bad? You leave yourself totally open to man-in-the-middle attacks, and makes SSL virtually pointless. Sure the data passed between the two servers would still be encrypted, but there is no way of verifying the server you’re talking to is the server you WANT to be talking to! My recommendation is that you verify the server is genuine by checking against the genuine CA certificate in PEM format.

Servers Painlessly Migrated to London with Linode
Posted on December 8th, 2009 No commentsLast night I read Linode ’s announcement that they have opened a new data centre in London, and jumped at the opportunity. I’ve been using Linode since January this year, and their VPS hosting has been absolutely trouble-free. Not only that, they have probably the best administration interface I have ever seen.
