Upgrade to PHP 5.3.3 or older because of security issue

Alexis Wilke — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:26:19 +0000

If you are responsible for a Debian or Ubuntu server and run PHP on it, make sure to run the following command to fix several security issues found in PHP:

sudo apt-get install php5-suhosin

This will make the necessary and your PHP version (security wise) will look like you have PHP 5.3.3.

What I found quite annoying in regard to this issue is the fact that it was very difficult to find a mention of this upgrade. All I could find in large number were people saying that you'd have to get an upgrade using the source code of PHP. Somehow, I did not feel like upgrading PHP from source!

SLiteChat Release 1.6.3

Doug Barbieri — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 21:51:31 +0000

We are happy to announce another maintenance release of SLiteChat, version 1.6.3. This release patches a major bug that was introduced on the 1.6.X line--when SLiteChat loses connection to the server and times out, a dialog pops up informing the user that the connection was lost. However, in previous versions, that dialog would pop up so many times recursively that it was shown that this crash could render the user's computer completely inoperative.

Use this excellent article if you are having difficulty clicking in your flash window (and you’re running Ubuntu 64 9.10):

64bit Java / Flash Deathroll | Speaking What We See. (unfortunately, that page was removed.)

He also rightly clears up the Java issue. This is a way to get native 64 bit installations for both Sun Java and Adobe Flash.

Today I had a problem with one of our computers. It did not want to boot. The boot loader is called GRUB. Most Linux distributions now use GRUB which is much more advanced than LILO and some other boot loaders.

GRUB is great for several reasons:
