Perl, the first 25 years…

by @ Wednesday, December 19th, 2012. Filed under general

In the Beginning… The beginnings are rather simple, and maybe a little mundane; Larry Wall (Tim Toady) released version 1.0 to the newsgroup comp.sources.misc on the 18th December 1987 while working as a programmer at Unisys.

by @ Tuesday, December 18th, 2012. Filed under tech

So I previously http://blog.joeware.net/2012/12/13/2650/ pointed out an article talking about AD Support in Samba 4.0. Upon further reading around on the Samba Wiki, white papers, and release notes etc, the article appears to be a little over generous on the functionality.

MD-5 and SHA-1 Digests now available for joeware utilities

by @ Friday, November 16th, 2012. Filed under tech
