Jul 24, 2006 Networking, Security, Wireless
Here is a great, in-depth article titled ‘Hacking Techniques in Wireless Networks’. It looks to be a great resource in getting your wireless network secure, or getting free Internet from your neighbors.
The article covers Wireless Network Sniffing, Wireless Spoofing, Wireless Network Probing, War Driving and Wireless Security Best Practices. I thought it was pretty funny to see the number of unsecured networks from war driving in my small town (~100,000 people). Cool html codes. 100’s of people had unsecure networks, some even being businesses.
Jul 23, 2006 AJAX, Guides & Tutorials
I have found a really cool and excellent resource for anyone wanting to fully understand AJAX. A man by the name of Sing Sang, who is a technology architect and consultant for Sun Microsystems, has created a 10 week long AJAX training course. Best yet, it’s cost nothing to register and take the course.
I’ve read over the description of the class and it seems to be a really great opportunity to really learn and understand AJAX. There are homework assignments that will have to be turned in, the course will be instructed by people that know AJAX and will cover a wide range of topics. I’m signed up, and if you do too, maybe I’ll see you in class.

Jul 23, 2006 Guides & Tutorials, WordPress
It’s been a few years now that I’ve had this site and started blogging. I feel pretty lucky because when I started, I started off with WordPress.
At the time there were several options available to me, and I think it was the name, ‘WordPress’, that drew me to using it for my blogging system. Once I found out about the themes and learned what plugins where, I was hooked and knew I had made the right selection for running the site.
Since I’ve made my own themes and some basic plugins. I’ve learned how to use WordPress for more than just a blogging system, and found it can serve as a basic CMS too!
I now have WordPress running many friend’s and several client’s sites.
So if you are looking to start a new blog, or replace an existing blog system, give WordPress a look. What prompted this post was this article I found, Get Your Feet Wet with WordPress.
Jul 17, 2006 AdSense, PHP, PHP Functions
This simple PHP function should make it a little easier to manage your AdSense code snippets for your site.
When this function is called, it will display ‘Content’ or ‘Referral’ type AdSense banner of choice. The type, width, height and CPA choice is passed when the function is called.
The colors used for the ads are set with in the function, so changing the color scheme used on all ads can be done in one file.
The function also has support for Content and Referral channels if you wish. Keep in mind, AdSense treats Content and Referral channels separately.
The function currently does not support generating AdSense for Search or text link type banners for Content or Referral. If I get enough requests, I can add it in. I have also thought about adding the ability to have multiple color schemes.
Just a note, this function/script/code or the creator is in no way affiliated with Google/Google AdSense and can not take responsibility of the results when using the function/script/code.
Just another note, when you read the note above, imagine it was really small at the bottom of the screen and that someone was reading it aloud very fast.
Get the Code/Download:
Use the function as you wish, please leave me a comment, maybe a link to the site it’s used on.
I’m open to any comments or suggestions.
