I snagged a couple of WRT54Gs from Office Depot. Now it’s time to play with the firmware from OpenWrt. It looks like I have two version 3.0s. Should be interesting.
I have been using Gallery2 since beta 1 hit the Web. I had been investigating switching to Coppermine, since I preferred its layout over Gallery1, even though it lacked Gallery 1′s flexabilty and filesystem layout management features. Once I was pointed to Gallery2, however, I immediately stopped my Coppermine migration; for good. I have been [...]
Ivn Software has released version 0.6 of their bw_mod for Apache 2. It compiles quite easily on Fedora Core 1 using apxs. I configured it for a specific directory and restarted Apache.

Yes, I know. Soda bad. But anyway, of late I have noticed soda fountains at many places I frequent are simply flat as a matter of course. This appears to be a new, alarming, and growing phenomenon. First, I noticed it at Einstein’s on campus. Given their daily traffic and the infrequency with which it [...]
Configuring SSL under Apache 2 is an interesting experience when you have multiple existing virtual domains using NameVirtualHost and want to support SSL connections to one of those virtual hosts. On Fedora Core 1, I moved a bunch of stuff around while configuring things. I ended up with several files in /etc/httpd/conf.d, including 00ssl.conf which [...]
Finally, a reason to install Sun’s Java on my box with java-package under Debian. Financial Calculators in Java.
Printing under Linux has rarely been intuitive. When it’s finally configured properly, it tends to work reliably. First, you have to configure it correctly. None of the documentation I came across when configuring CUPS for printing to a PostScript compatible printer indicated I needed to head to the vendor’s Web site, download their Microsoft Windows [...]
I just test installed Gallery2 Beta 1. The installation is very slick and Gallery2 is quite featureful. I am quite pleased.
Jesper Dangaard Brouer has written an awesome thesis on something that has plagued those of us stuck using asymmetrical network connections for ages and ages now. What’s more, he has patches which will soon be available for the Linux kernel. Finally, a functional way of dealing with ATM overhead without wasting precious bandwidth planning for [...]
I wanted to benchmark my 7410 running RAID 5 with 4 120GB Western Digital WD1200JB (Models: 75EVA0, 32EVA0, 00DUA3) on a Supermicro 370DLE in a dedicated 64-bit slot running at 33MHz. I thought I’d compare those numbers with my new 7500-4LP and see what the differences are. I tested with 2.6.10-ac10, 2.6.11-ck2, and later with [...]
