I took some time yesterday to upgrade my beloved Nokia N8 to the new(ish) Symbian^3 Anna build and it wasn’t a smooth upgrade. Upgrading through the Ovi Suite went well enough but applications like the Ovi Store just wouldn’t work after the upgrade. The Ovi Store application would install and start but would sit on [...]
I’ve been hoping to upgrade my older ALIX2D3 router / firewall / wireless access point for a while now. While taking a few hours off from work over the holiday I surfed over to PCEngines and bought myself a Christmas present: a matching pair of ALIX3D2 boards and a Compex WLM200N5-23 MiniPCI card (802.11an) plus [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any new content but that’s not because I haven’t been doing anything worthy of mention. During the few breaks I’ve had from my day job I took the time to replace my QNAP 419p NAS with a custom system to host NFS shares. Here’s just a quick laundry [...]
I travel a bunch but I’ve only traveled internationally twice now. Interestingly enough in my short trips to both the UK and Spain I’ve ran into my Thruxton’s foreign relatives. Naturally, the Spanish Thruxton I came across this week in Barcelona is red.
I’ve been working on a set of scripts to backup the wordpress instances on my server. While structuring these scripts I realized that I hadn’t structured my WP installs consistently. I had played around with using table prefixes and hosting multiple WP instances in a single database but eventually I just broke them out into [...]

Happy Programmers’ Day everyone!

One of the many things I’ve had to do as part of transitioning to my new job is move my retirement savings (401k) over to a new provider. In this case I’ve been moving over to the Fidelity site. The security of financial web sites never fails to disappoint. No I didn’t try some crazy [...]
In my last post on this topic I gave a quick description of a simulation of the sVirt architecture. Talking about it is only half the work. In this post I’ll show it in action and interpret the output as it relates to the separation goals. Building and Installing After you clone the git repo [...]
With today a wash because of Irene, I figured I’d write up a fun bike ride I took last weekend on the Minuteman Bikeway. It’s a fun ride but on a Sunday it’s pretty crowded. There’s a good mix of little kids and Lance Armstrong wannabes, perfect for keeping things interesting. I covered the whole [...]
