This is just too good to pass up.
Have fun!
If you have a particularly amusing conversation, feel free to tape it and send me an MP3.

Still undergoing playtesting, my recent Perl foo on parsing Silent Hunter III’s random campaign mission layer has resulted in the ImprovedConvoys mod. With a few more changes, I’ll move on to modify the few task forces represented in the random layer such that they’re seemingly more realistic, or at least less boring. Task [...]
Trying to ssh into a box with dropbear I am finding no joy:
ssh: connection to root@10.8.0.6:22 exited: No auth methods could be used.
You need to change the following to true in /etc/ssh/sshd_config for joy again.

How cute. The Gregg Reference Manual contains a decoder for the basic online acronyms.
I finally found a reason to mess with Perl’s sprintf for pretty reports. The result is easy to display output for the contents of the England to Murmansk convoy for 1941 to mid 1942. I only have about two dozen convoys left to research.

Of late I have been working on a campaign file processor in Perl so I can redefine the convoys in Silent Hunter 3 to be far more realistic in composition. With the tool essentially finished, I have begun research into convoys during War War II.
So far, it’s been intriguing reading. A piece I [...]

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 [...]
