Anatiferous blog | Move every zig.

Howdy! This is my (William Reading's) webpage. At the moment, I only have this blog script and my gallery up, but I hope to get more stuff on this page at some point, or so I thought when I created this site years ago. Updates and shiny new copy to eventually go here. If you'd like to contact me to point out that I've done something to break XHTML/CSS standards or heaven forbid--look at my Vita--drop me a line at my e-mail address bill +spam @ [ELEPHANT] aggienerds.org. Simply remove "+spam", the spaces and the pachyderm along with its brackets and that address will reach me. I'm also available on Jabber/GChat/AIM/MSN with the same address above.

BeServed is a wonderful application that lets you run a BeOS fileserver on say, a Linux or FreeBSD box and access your files on a BeOS Machine. This is all fine and dandy, but the authors apparently overlooked one small detail in their initial design: security. Given that they have alleviated this fact by adding on an authentication daemon, which would be great except for the fact that it has zero documentation for FreeBSD and the GUI configuration tool doesn’t appear to work at all in BeOS. So I can share files, but I’m not guaranteed that someone else can’t come along and screw with my files. Oh well, I hope the author will reply to the e-mail I sent fairly quickly.
