While doing some work at work I walked into a trap.
Let me start from the beginning:
It was a beautiful day, I had just fixed all my troubles with OpenVPN and heartbeat and all that was left was a little scripting, so I whipped out vim and started to python my way through things when I [...]
…and another mobile blogging client to try…
… I have, but I cannot put them to use:
[asmw@901]> ls -l /dev/rfkill
crw-rw—- 1 root root 10, 59 2009-08-11 12:27 /dev/rfkill

Quick-And-Dirty:Put something like “ chgrp rfkill /dev/rfkill’” in rc.local.
Using udev: echo ‘KERNEL==”rfkill”, GROUP=”rfkill”‘ >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-rfkill.rules
Prerequisite for both solutions is, of course, an existing rfkill group.

I beat the others.
How you feel now, huh?
Not so tough anymore, huh?
Actually still scary, but meh, whatcha gonna [...]
This totally awesome post is sooooo relevant to the stuff I have to absolutely learn because it somehow includes the mention of an AM radio.
No embedded video for you (yet), get Firefox 3.5!
Finally videos wihtout flash and in a free format to boot!
Well, I’d probably do the same thing I do now…
Forget it, then reset it.
…and that’s not even all. We also despise softleds. Ever since the transplantation my router had severe trouble producing a decent signal.
I sifted through mountains of information regarding issues with atheros cards in WL-500gps and tried everything.
Switching antenna connectors from main to aux, and setting diversity, txantenna and rxantenna for the madwifi driver did improve [...]
