Objective-C – Full-screen WebView
This is a quick-and-dirty way to write a simple locked-down web browser perfect for kiosks or other similar scenarios. This code opens a pre-defined URL in full-screen mode and works with Snow Leopard and Lion. Instead of the overhead of a full browser like Firefox, the compiled size of this code is around ~500k and is designed to serve a very simple function.
AppDelegate.h:
// AppDelegate.h
// QuickWeb
//
// Please edit below to define URL, font and font size.
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import <WebKit/WebKit.h>
#define MY_URL @"http://www.example.com"
#define FONT @"Times"
#define FONTSIZE 16
@interface AppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate> {
NSWindow *mainWindow;
}
@end
AppDelegate.m:
// AppDelegate.m
// QuickWeb
//
// Please edit "AppDelegate.h" to define URL, font and font size.
#import "AppDelegate.h"
@implementation AppDelegate

CCNP Security SECURE Notes
I recently took and passed Cisco CCNP Security SECURE (642-637). I used CBT Nuggets video training and the official Cert Guide from Cisco Press to study for the exam. In case anyone is interested, I’ve decided to share the notes I took in preparation. Have fun!

Bash – RHEL Service Script
This template can be used to create a service script for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It will enable you to use “service myservice start”, “service myservice stop”, or “service myservice status” to control a particular process. It also supports the familiar Red Hat “OK” or “FAILED” green and red status messages. Other options can be easily added by modifying the case statement below. This script also supports chkconfig, so you can set the service to start on boot by issuing the command “chkconfig myservice on”, or remove it from boot start with “chkconfig myservice off.” This script should be placed in /etc/init.d with the proper permissions.
#!/bin/bash
# Replace myservice with your service name. Insert commands where noted.
# chkconfig: - 99 00
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
case "$1" in

echo -n "Starting myservice"
if [ -f /var/run/myservice.pid ]
