On Ubuntu Lucid or newer:
mkpasswd -H sha-512 password salt
On Hardy the only options are crypt and md5. Yuck.
Note: Linux account passwords need an 8 character salt. For some reason the default salt length on mkpasswd is 12 characters. Read: Manually set the 8-character salt.
The deadline of December 31st is fast approaching to submit proposals for Cascadia IT Conference 2011.
See their site for information on what kind of proposals they are looking for.
Registration is also open for the conference. Early bird rates are in effect until February 15th.
Sometime in 2011 somewhere in or near Seattle there will be a convention by, for, and about geek girls.
The con is in the early planning stages and they need donations and volunteers to make this happen.
