Honestly, I was not sure what would happen as this was the first time that I had tried to connect up a Palm device. My goal for doing this was simple. I wanted to synchronize my calendar to my phone so that I would have a list of my appointments while I was on the road. I had wanted to use something more direct like SyncML, but that option was not available to me. Oh,...http://blogs.sun.com/gbrunett/entry/treo_700p_on_nevada 2nd Annual NIST Security Automation Workshop- September 22, 2006 This week, I had the pleasure of speaking at the 2nd Annual NIST Security Automation Workshop held at the NIST campus in Gaitherburg, MD.

Honestly, I was very hesitant since a small message could easily turn into a long and widing essay from all of the emotion that would pour out. After reading Rob's post however, I decided to share with you at least a little of what has been bouncing around my mind. Like, Rob, I too was supposed to be at our World Trade Center office on that fateful day. I remember that we had just received a new shipment of lab equipment and I..http://blogs.sun.com/gbrunett/entry/september_11th_5_years_on NEW: Sun Certified Security Administrator Exam- September 8, 2006 In a previous posting, I talked about the following certification exam (then in development): Sun Certified Security Administrator for the Solaris 10 Operating System. I would like to thank everyone who volunteered to participate in the beta program! Your support is greatly appreciated and helps to improve the quality of the exam (and certification) for everyone!

It should be noted that the list of changes made is relatively small (from the default) and is based upon how I plan to actually use the system. As a result, you may need more or different changes than those listed here based upon your specific needs. With that said, let's get into the details. Nevada by default enforces the settings specified by the...http://blogs.sun.com/gbrunett/entry/laptop_upgrade_to_nevada_b473 |
