Rooting the S2

https://espadav8.co.uk/2011/10/11/rooting-the-s2

October 11, 2011. I recently got myself the new-ish Samsung Galaxy S2 android phone. My first android phone and I'm really happy with it. With the release of CyangonMod 7.1 the other day though I wanted to have a go at rooting the phone and installing custom ROMs. While reading up on things though I started confusing myself. The wiki for CM mentions things like ClockworkMod Recovery, ROM Manager and rooting. A backup tool they mention, Titanium Backup, needs root to work. Theme by Kathy Qian.

March 23, 2011. CPanel and the woes of wildcard SSL. Here in the office we've recently needed to be able to have a number of subdomains that are accessible over HTTPS.
