SP2013 RTM was released.
Drag and drop documents into document folder; preview documents in pop-up window (including the ability to scroll through, it’s not just an image). Really cool.

OpenVPN Sharing a TCP Port with SSL on NGINX and Apache? Yeah It’s Possible
Posted On Friday, 10 Aug 2012 By David Westerfield. Under Technology Tags: 1194, 443, 80, Apache, Client, Config, Configuration, httpd.conf, NGINX, open source, OpenVPN, Port, Port Sharing, Port-Share, ports.conf, Proxy, Reverse, reverse proxy, server, Share, Sharing, SSL, VPN
The reason I say "it's possible" is because for the longest time I didn't think it was because I couldn't get anything to explain how it works. I'm absolutely baffled there isn't more information out there about this. It seems like web managers and techs would be all over this, ... Read More

Motorola NVG510: Flaky Security?
Posted On Monday, 21 May 2012 By David Westerfield. Under Technology Tags: AT&T, Flaky, Hole, Holes, Motorola, NVG510, Security, Uverse
Apparently, after resetting the Motorola NVG510, it allows you right into the restricted areas without a password. Well, let me rephrase that in anecdotal terms. It let me in with no password. I was able to add NAT rules, change the wireless settings and number of other things. After a few minutes, ... Read More

Posted On Monday, 20 Feb 2012 By David Westerfield. Under Technology Tags: 25, AT&T, E-Mail, email, Email Server, Mail, mail server, Outbound, Outgoing, Port, server, smtp, tcp, Uverse
(FYI: When I first had Uverse setup, they allowed me to open SMTP port 25. This problem started when it was inadvertently blocked again recently. Long story short, there were other reports of this happening. Below is the process of trying to get it unblocked again.)

Update 4 (1/16/2011): Actually, they have now shipped the original drive they said they were going to send and it's in Dallas currently. Not sure what that RMA email was about with the other drive type.
Update 3 (1/15/2011): Apparently the drive type has changed unexpectedly during the RMA process to ... Read More

I'm not sure at what point, but some time over the past week or two, my 2Wire 3800 HGV-B router was upgraded to new firmware (by AT&T of course), version 6.1.9.24 or rather 6.1.9.23-enh.tm. I'm not positive this fixed it or if AT&T upgraded their firewall policy, but for whatever ... Read More
