All Squared Up.

If you own a small business and you want to accept card card as payment then it couldn’t be any easier these days.

About a week before Christmas 2011, I helped setting up credit card payment system using Square for a small bakery in the Long Beach, California. All they need are: a wireless access point, an iPod touch and Square card reader. In addition to that, they are also accepting card payment at farmers market in Long Beach, Culver City and Pasadena. According to the bakery owner, they are gaining new customers by simply accepting card payment.

The next project is to redesign Sconeage Bakery website.

Before and After.

Ever wonder why the CPU fan is running loud? You should check it out and see if the heatsink and fan are dirty.

In addition to that I replaced the Pentium D with a Core 2 Duo.

Dreamhost forces password reset due to security issue.

Security advisory from Dreamhost from January 20th, 2012: Changing Shell/FTP Passwords due to Security Issue

Last night we detected some unauthorized activity within one of our databases. While we don’t have evidence that customer passwords were taken at this time, we’re forcing a change out of caution.

If you are Dreamhost customer, you should change your password on the side of caution.

On related note, Dreamhost apparently saves password in clear text.
