Blog
This section contains mostly articles migrated from my old Wordpress site. It was more of notes to myself that I hoped would help others. A few got quite popular. Who knew Oracle SQL was still so hot.
Anyway, I migrated them from wordpres to hugo, integrity suffered, Forgive the formatting please :)

Earning my Technician Amateur Radio Operator
I recently joined members of “the greatest hobby in the world” - an amateur radio operator. I earned my Technician class operator license about a month back, fulfilling an interest I had way back as child. My official FCC assigned callsign is KE2HOA.
Technician Class License
Technician is the intial / entry level class for operators, allowing limited operation across lower frequency ranges. As my experience grows I plan to pursue the General class to expand my access to those larger bands. (Band size is inverse to Frequency)
Setting Slack Status from IamResponding (IaR)
As a volunteer firefighter I may be called to duty during work hours, and wanted a way to quickly notify my team with a calendar and slack status.

Firefighter?
Yeah! Sorry that probably deserves it’s own post, why and when. But I’m a member of our local Volunteer Fire Department, which is staffed by a collection of local residents giving back. Honored to be amongst them. Also, fire departments across the country need more members, so considering joining your local department, there is a job for everyone!
We're going metric!
Did you know metric is the preferred system for all U.S. agencies, and required for interactions with commerce?
I feel fortunate that my employer is based in Australia. It’s continued to push me to re-evaluate my ethnocentric views of measure.
It started during a recent converation in our “Makers” channel discussing where and when we see imperial and metric measures used, some of them left the question there for us “Is the US really that averse to metric? Don’t they sometimes use both types of measures?”
Turns out the United States is already a “metric nation” and has been since 1880’s or 1970’s depending on your interpretation.
So if the U.S. Government is metric, why isn’t the nation?
Us. Me.
So read on to see how our household is moving forward!
New Name, Same Game
I’ve pushed some changes to this site to reflect an important change - my name!
Moving forward I will be using the surname Webbinaro, which is the marriage of my wife’s family name and my own.
Webb + Rendinaro = Webbinaro
Now, despite the low-hanging joke for an SE and tech speaker it does not sound like webinar but rather Webb-i-nair-o, respecting the roots in my wife’s family surname.
Although COVID-19 has slowed our process with the courts a bit, after 4 months of paper pushing we did it.
Using passwordless login on PuTTY and Cygwin using Keys over SSH and SCP
- Get Started - Installing the Tools
- Generating our Keys
- Repetitive Entry Avoidance (A.K.A. Enter the passphrase once, and only once)
- Conclusion
Tools like PuTTY and Cygwin allows users trapped in a window’s world to retain some of the power and functionality of ’nix platforms. Together or independently they allow users on windows machines to SSH, SCP and interface with Linux, Unix, Solaris, or even AIX nodes. The absolute best part? You can generate a pair of keys to make remembering passwords a thing of a the past. This is especially important to one’s sanity if you work in an environment with 10s or 100s of different nodes that all have rotating IDs on different schedules. So my goal in the article that follows is to setup a powerful workstation that includes Cygwin, PuTTY, and WinSCP. WinSCP is not a necessary tool, but I’ll admit I like to resort to a graphical SCP tool every now and again. Unlike a few other articles I have read I will not encourage you to use passphrase-less keys, just too risky in my mind. Instead we will just limit the number of times we need to enter that password to say about…. 1. To recap, our Goals are;
Getting Started with ACL in CakePHP
The ACL component of CakePHP can be a daunting undertaking for those new to CakePHP or ACLs. Once you take the plunge though you’ll never look back. The flexibility and power of the ACL component are worthy of your site, I promise. In order to help some fellow bakers into the water I wanted to offer some advice.
What is ACL?
ACL, or Access Control List is a common means to control access to applications or sites at a granular level. The basic premise is simple, you have ‘whos’ and ‘whats’. The combination determines who can access what.
