jigsy.com Phishing Attacks

June 18, 2014 by ralph.hogaboom

We’ve recently been getting more phishing attacks using Jigsy.com as the third-party form collection point.

I’ve tried using the Jigsy feedback form & email; they bounce back. As a company trying to offer a legit web service, this is appalling. Jigsy had a chance, and if they can’t be responsible enough to post a working email, then … [Read more…]

Passwords are boring

June 8, 2012 by ralph.hogaboom

“I don’t have anything in there that anyone would steal want, anyway.”
LinkedIn and eHarmony recently revealed that some 8 million passwords were compromised. This is a problem, mostly because people + passwords usually suck. True, no hacker really gives a rip if they get into my LinkedIn and … what, they can edit my online … [Read more…]

Fall 2010 & Changes, Changes

September 22, 2010 by ralph.hogaboom

Welcome (back, for some of you) students at Grays Harbor College for Fall quarter, 2010. We’ve made some changes to the computers and systems, and thought we might as well share ’em.
First off, we’re no longer using Novell for logins. Windows now just shows the Username & Password box – no Context, Tree, or Server … [Read more…]

IT Action Plan template

May 27, 2010 by ralph.hogaboom

Two years ago I shared a server config template; today, by request, I’m sharing the IT Action Plan template. This Microsoft Word template is useful for putting together your implementation plan for a larger project, one where you have several angles to consider and differing audiences who want to know you’re on top of things.
There’s … [Read more…]

Student Wireless Bandwidth

January 28, 2010 by ralph.hogaboom

Earlier this week, we purchased additional bandwidth for the student wireless network. This is good news! Here’s why.
During Nov & Dec 2009, we max at around 50 students using wireless between 8am and 1pm. The wireless network gets exactly 10% of all campus bandwidth, or 1024 Kbps.
1024Kb ÷ 50 = 20.5 Kbps per student
Remember 56k … [Read more…]

Wireless Access on Campus

November 17, 2009 by ralph.hogaboom

UPDATE 2 (12:54 PM 11/19/2009): We’re back up, but expect a few more short term outages before we’re ‘officially’ back up with wireless. Thanks!
UPDATE: Looks like our new controller arrives today via FedEx.
We had a storm Monday night that took out power and internet to the campus. Although we had power restored early that morning, … [Read more…]

Live @ Edu World

June 25, 2008 by ralph.hogaboom

I spent the last two days at the Microsoft campus in Bellevue? Redmond? for the first Live @ Edu World conference. Live @ Edu is Microsoft’s offer of free mail services for students, no ads, no fees, and yes to college rebranding.
Although some of the Microsoft presenters were a bit shaky, by the time Brad Goldstein … [Read more…]

Windows Live Mesh

May 1, 2008 by ralph.hogaboom

Joel Spolsky does a fabulous job of explaining the problems with Live Mesh, Microsoft’s recently announced cloud computing platform. And blasting Ray Ozzie, Microsoft’s chief software architect, along the way.
It’s been interesting to see the reaction to Ozzie. He kinda came out of nowhere when Groove got bought, and next thing I know he’s taking … [Read more…]

Live @ Edu Update

April 29, 2008 by ralph.hogaboom

Last summer, we tested Microsoft’s Live @ Edu platform, which turned into our Fall quarter launch of Chokermail. Basically, it’s a rebranded Windows Live account. With anyPassport Passport.NET Hotmail Windows Live account, however, participants get access to many of the web-based tools that frame the Live initiative. Here’s a few you might not know about.

Bring it!

April 17, 2008 by ralph.hogaboom

Joel Spolsky used to work for Microsoft, as a PM for the Excel team. He now runs a company called Fog Creek Software, and blogs fairly regularly. He’s got a bit of that Raymond Chen “Why Microsoft Did XYZ” in him that makes for happy geek reading.
But when he announces a new product, I take … [Read more…]
