This morning, I was looking for a way to auto post from my Posterous powered dotkeith.com blog to my WordPress powered blog here at SmartestGeek.com using the XML-RPC protocol and save the new post as a draft for further editing. Surprisingly I was unable to find a plugin to allow this but with a little research I was able to figure out a simple solution and thought I would post about it here for anybody else having trouble with this.

Don’t like the idea of your neighbors rudely snooping on the wireless signal you slaved to pay for from the lazy comfort of their living room? It’s not just about slowing down your connection; while they’re downloading Mad Men via bittorrent, you could be on the hook for their actions.

It amazes me how many people still don’t understand the importance of securing their wireless network. Sharing your broadband Internet connection with your friends and neighbors is cool! But you need to be smart about it. If my neighbor wants to borrow my internet connection all they have to do is ask and I will be more than happy to help out. I will even come set it up for them. But A geek like myself sends a lot of sensitive information around the internet and I am not willing to do this on an open or unsecured network.

If your a Twitterholic that owns a CrackBerry then you have plenty of reason to celebrate! A company called Ubiquitous Systems has been working on a new twitter client called SocialScope for quite some time now.
