Just a quick update on Asterisk@Home. 1st – they have come out with two new versions since I’ve given it a go – I’m downloading v6 as we speak. 2nd – Install was no problem, I got it up and running with a very minimum of effort. I do not have any cards in my [...]
I’ve been playing with a lot of different software lately, and have started bemoaning how many times I’ve burnt a .iso file to a CD for one-time use. I was going to buy a couple of CD-RWs to be less wasteful, but then I wondered if it was possible to mount them as virtual cds. [...]
So, my 3rd Motorola T720 finally stopped charging, and I decided that even though this phone was free from Cingular, I needed something a little less flaky. I’d really like the ability to have my phone act as a data modem for my PDA (or replace my PDA) and laptop, letting me connect anywhere anytime [...]
I have searched a couple of times over the last few years for a discussion forum or other online help for supporting our Executone phone system. We’ve been doing self-support for about 3 years, and can handle most of the basics no problem. But those weird/rare problems pop up we’re at the mercy of hourly [...]
My household has been rocking down to O-zone’s “Dragostea Din Tei“, and I’ve been thinking “I could have written this with one hand tied behind my back”. No really, I could have – back in college I had a rockin’ band with a lot of gear. But I really couldn’t now, because ever since our [...]
Honeynet has an interesting article online comparing the “life expectancy” of unpatched systems. Apparently, the mean time before compromise of Linux has gone from 3 days to 3 months! While Windows have gone from days to hours or even minutes before compromise. It’s also interesting that they note the compromised systems were attempted to be [...]
VNC to SWF sounds like the open source equilivent of a rough version of RoboDemo…. It lets you record screen activity to a shockwave file via VNC. I was unsucessful in my attempts to get this running on my OS X box, but had some fun playing around with it in Debian. With the new [...]

I’ve stumbled across a fix for the IDN spoofing bug (it lets websites look like another site – ie: hacker site appears to be paypal….) that uses Adblock, which I already use and am a big fan of. I’d definitely recommend implementing this if you use Firefox Tweet
So I ran across the Linksys NSLU2 at ThinkGeek today. A perfectly simple device, it has an Ethernet port and 2 USB 2.0 ports. You can plug in UBS drives (or a memory key) and make it available over the network. Tom’s Hardware has a good review of it, where they mention it can also [...]
