Yet another collection of random links and rantings of a greying unix geek with a photography bent. Pass the Guinness and Grecian Formula.
So, what school of laziness did you not attend to come up with this wonderful method of using a database?
This is almost, but not quite, as bad as storing it as blobs.
Hmm, what else… oh yeah, it doesn’t appear that they close the xml tag. Double plus goodness.

Lion maintains a list of authentication methods that are not allowed. These are the older, less secure authentication methods. You may need to enable one or more of these methods to support legacy devices or protocols.
Open Terminal.
Execute the following commands:sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1Make an AFP connection to another system so that the AFP Client preference file will be filled in with the default set of values. Note: You must connect as a registered user, not as a guest.
Execute the following command to see a list of the disabled User Authentication Methods (UAMs)defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams
By default the disabled UAMs are “Cleartxt Passwrd”, “MS2.0″, “2-Way Randnum exchange”, and “DHCAST128″. Note: if you don’t see a list, restart your computer and repeat step 3.
To enable one of these UAMs, remove it from the list of disabled UAMs. For example, this command enables DHCAST128 by removing it from the list of disabled authentication methods:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array “Cleartxt Passwrd” “MS2.0″ “2-Way Randnum exchange”
After the desired changes have been made, restore the permissions on the Preferences folder with this command:sudo chmod o-w /Library/Preferences

I know we’re trying to be more secure these days, but sometimes you just gotta interoperate with a legacy chunk of iron..
This site should load a bit faster for you now.
We’ve moved from a Telus ADSL at a supposed speed of 2Mbps in / 0.6 Mbps out (consistently measured at 1.4/0.3)
to a Shaw 50/5 (measurement varies 48/4.8 down to 15/1.4)
