Mon Dec 13 12:59:39 EST 2010: Norrin Beat Morgoth •
I finally beat Angband yesterday. I've started the game like 16,000,000 times and I always save cheat. I think I played my first moria/umoria varient circa 1989 and before that I played quite a lot of nethack. But I never actually finished a game until yesterday. There's not a lot more to say on the subject. Except... here's my dude:

Mon Nov 15 11:10:43 EST 2010: script •
A couple months ago on the Dinner Party Download, the guys talked about how they have access to Kai Ryssdal's scripts for APM: Marketplace. They went on to try to get donations from people by saying that if you donate and send a note, they'll send you a page of Kai's scripts that they'll sign. Heh. I totally sent in the donation and the request.
So now I have a page of Kai Risdal's show on my desk. Hehe. I love it.

Mon Oct 11 11:09:57 EDT 2010: Mutliple Google Accounts •
I recently switched my google apps for domains accounts over to their new login stuff. It's pretty cool because I can now have google reader accounts and things for my personal domain. But it makes it ridiculously irritating to use my old gmail account for igoogle and the like while also logging into my personal domain accounts.
Fortunately, I have a solution:
That URL is really all you need, but I have further tips:
- log out of all your google accounts.
- log into one
- set up the multi sessions (by clicking the URL above)
- log back out
- goto 2. while there are accounts left to fix
- go to http://www.google.com and log in as your default.
- use the pulldown to log into other accounts you have.
- enjoy

Tue Sep 21 14:30:39 EDT 2010: hastings airport tax •
Seems the management at the hastings airport are trying to get a millage because mark noteboom can't run it like a business...
I wouldn't care at all, but we (look before you click, redirect eminent) had this fantastic hanger there that I really liked. And Mr. Noteboom kicked us out because the grump old men that run the place didn't like having to wait 30 seconds here and there for the skydivers to land. Way to kick out the only successful business to operate there in the history of the airport you idiot. Ok, I'm exaggerating a little...
Still... rage...

Mon Aug 30 08:45:05 EDT 2010: SysRq Magic •
This morning, around 4am, one of my servers died a little. It's been doing it over and over. I'm not sure how to track it down at all (yet) but it seems to be a bug in the aacraid driver. The result of the crash is that processes that try to write to the disk block forever. That's super shitty to say the least.
The worst of the problems this produces — beside the most obvious problem that the server doesn't serve — is that the machine cannot be rebooted cleanly. First of all, the shutdown process can't work right because it needs to write to the disk. Second, the remount of the drives doesn't work because they can't be unmounted correctly — which would require writing to /etc/mtab.
The solution is (apparently) Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken . Ok, strictly speaking, I really only used these commands, but they saved a co-worker a drive to work and I had the system booted in just a few minutes.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
NOTE: I waited for some time after the sync and unmount commands.

Mon Jul 12 14:50:43 EDT 2010: SSH Tunnel •
I just found myself wishing outloud that I could remember this. I thought about making flashcards or something, then I suddenly remembered I have a website where I post things (kindof like bloging on a blog, only this is writing for a website).
razor.dom1$ ssh -L 9000:sharecropper.dom2:22 corky.dom1
This command makes port 22 on sharecropper.dom2 (from the perspective of corky.dom1) available to razor on localhost:9000. That is, from razor, I can now get to sharecropper like this:
razor.dom1$ ssh -p 9000 localhost jettero@sharecropper.dom2's password: Last login: Mon Jul 12 14:26:06 2010 from corky.dom2 sharecropper.dom2$

Wed Nov 4 10:22:03 EST 2009: Windows XP Sucks •
My CD drive disappeared. Well, the driver disappeared. Windows could see the drive, but wouldn't install a driver for it. I frantically searched the dell support pages for ... a cd driver. But nothing was to be found.
I could tell from booting to linux that the drive works fine. So what then?
The solution was to delete LowerFilters from my registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}).
This arcane bullshit is why I hate windows. On the one hand, I'm glad MS documented this. On the other hand, I can't help but wonder if automatic updates has an entropy system in place to get me to give up and upgrade to Windows 7. Unlikely, but technically possible. MS has a direct financial interest in that... but definitely not in helping me get XP working.

Thu Aug 6 11:59:39 EDT 2009: My Win0 Device •
I wasn't happy with the two choices of network interface types given in the VirtualBox documentation. It struck me, I could make the guest OS appear on the lan just like any other computer by using proxy arp and tun device.
This works rather like a hybrid of their NAT and their Bridge modes from the documenation, but more awesome. This script is ubuntu/debian-esque, but could be refactored for other linux OSes fairly easily.
bash$ cat /etc/init.d/win0
#!/bin/bash
vbox="win0"
ethr="eth0"
ip="10.1.1.200"
case "$1" in
start)
( set -x
tunctl -t $vbox -u jettero
ifconfig $vbox up
route add -host $ip dev $vbox
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$vbox/proxy_arp
arp -Ds $ip $ethr pub
)
;;
stop)
(echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$vbox/proxy_arp) 2>/dev/null
ifconfig $vbox down &>/dev/null
tunctl -d $vbox &>/dev/null
arp -i $ethr -d $ip &>/dev/null
;;
restart) $0 stop; $0 start ;;
esac
Here's the ifconfig and ipconfig results.
bash$ ifconfig win0
win0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Ethernet adapter win0:

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.1.1
This could not be simpler to set up in Virtualbox either. From here, you simply set it to bridged on your new win0 device. Done.

Fri Jun 12 06:28:28 EDT 2009: XBee Shell •
I finally got around to doing some things with my XBee chips. Nothing special at all. I didn't really like the way minicom interfaced the things. First of all, it keeps telling the "modem" to init and reset after the session. The XBee does take AT commands, but ... not like that.
Despite my telling minicom to echo local characters, it still wasn't echoing the AT commands in command mode ... that made me kinda mad. So I wrote my own console program. And when I say I wrote my own, I mean I used POE (so I only wrote 10% of it) and I started from the cookbook (so I only wrote 5% of it).
#!/usr/bin/perl # My XBee shell. Copyright 2009 Paul Miller - LGPL # # This is very much ripped off from the cookbook though, that license (if any) # may apply. http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/Serial_Ports # # POE makes this so easy.

Wed Jun 3 06:48:36 EDT 2009: XBee •
XBee + USB boards
I'm trying to break into the world of embedded programming. I'm starting small. I bought some zigbee modules and USB boards. I figured out a few things on the radios, which feel oddly similar to talking to an old fashion modem — modem in the traditional sense, not a terminal adapter.
bash$ mrsh uptime Welcome to minicom 2.3-rc1 Compiled on Dec 10 2007, 10:31:35. Port /dev/ttyUSB0 OK ATDB 0 ATDB 17 ATVD 10CD OK ATCN test
I haven't figured out the API mode yet, but the transparent passthrough mode has been fun. When I'm not in command mode, typing in one minicom shows up in the other and vice versa. When I issue ATDB in command mode, it reports the signal strength. When I first plugged it in, ATDB returned: 0... but after I had the other module send some data, it reported: 17. 17? The manual says, "Absolute values are reported. For example: 0x58 = -88 dBm (decimal)." So the signal strength when the modules are 0.5 inches apart is really: -23 dBm? I think?
XBee with Power
I have successfully transferred files using Zmodem! Man that takes me back.
In the picture on the right, note that the lights are on the USB boards. Zigbee's main purpose is to be very power efficient, so the modules certainly wouldn't have lights on them!
