Defcon is a go!

I will be at defcon again this year.  Be sure to stop by the hackers-for-charity booth in the vendors area!  I will be there tomorrow (Thursday) at 2pm signing autographs and giving out my social security number (no not really, just manning the booth actually.)  I should be pretty easy to spot–I am the white guy wearing a black t-shirt (HA!)  I am donating a few items for the silent auction–an old G4 powerbook, an EDACS capable trunking scanner, and an old PS2-based hardware keylogger, so if you want any of my old crap be sure to drop in and bid on it!  I also decided on Sumatran (espresso roasted,) and Peruvian (medium roast) coffees for Coffeewars X–so if you are a judge just let me know where to wire the money so I can be immortalized in coffedom fame eternally.

Nmap 5.0 released

Nmap 5.0 is out.  Fortunately, after a very preliminary and unscientific test, it appears that the XML output is still compatible with MyNmap.

Apple STILL doesn’t have an APA template for Pages?

I am back in school, and that means research papers, hooray.  I am being smarter about it all these days though–templates and citation management software are definitely the way to go!

It would sure be nice if Apple would include templates for the major paper formats with their word processor.  And all the ones I could find that others had posted were either not really templates, or got the formatting wrong.

So I created one based off of their research paper template that references the latest rules at Perdue.  I couldn’t have done it so quickly if it weren’t for this great tutorial over at the Mac Law Students website, thanks for the handy write-up.

So, if you came here looking for a free APA template for Pages, try this one out and let me know if it works for you: APA template for Pages 09′.

Updated July 17, 2009: Fixed a few annoyances in the template (page titles were not repeating and hyphenation was set for document.)
