Generate MAC Addresses

March 3rd, 2007 1 comment

Here’s some simple code to generate more-or-less random MAC addresses:

python -c 'import random; r=random.randint;
print "00:16:3E:%02X:%02X:%02X" % (r(0, 0x7f), r(0, 0xff), r(0, 0xff))'

Alfresco 2.0

March 3rd, 2007 No comments

Installed Alfresco 2.0 on Centos 4.4 running under Xen and switched from the JBoss to Tomcat release – initial impression is that it’s much more responsive.

Did a couple of simple tests with Brendan, pretty basic stuff and immediately ran into problems. First, he invited me to edit a file in his user space, and I couldn’t. Second, he started a discussion and I was able to inadvertently overwrite his post.

Otherwise, Alfresco does a nice job of versioning, provides basic authentication and convenient access via CIFS, NFS, WebDAV etc.
