Day 0: Cash registers closed, WLAN working.
The estimates as to when the cash registers would open developed as follows:
12 hours -> rand(6,12) hours -> 22 o’ clock.
I got my ticket despite the troubles. Good riddance as they were sold out the next morning.
Day 1: Topics to look up: GSM security, dnssec, OpenMoko, sleephacking, arduinos, MakerBots

I had uploaded my favorite vimrc somewhere, but I forgot where…
This is mostly for my reference and not the final product: vimrc
I’m a command line freak and thus I want to read the call logs from my newly converted Freakz^wFritz!Box from the command line.
First I tried to mess with the telnetd on the box but I didn’t find the logs and as it is possible to fetch a csv-file containing the call-log via the web-interface I [...]

Hello world,
so I’ve been using mutt for a while now and my setup has matured into a very usable state. But, as I’m always looking for something new to try, now there’s a new contestant with promises of features galore!
…and who could say no to FEATURES!
Enter sup.
I’ve used googlemail for a short period some time [...]
Today I literally skipped a heartbeat…
…on purpose, while testing the hearbeat setup for some OpenVPN servers.
The OpenVPN server of the RWTH Aachen university is exactly that. _ONE_ server. When it goes down, there is no OpenVPN anymore.
Bah, eaaaasy! There’s so many computers in this university, we’ll just get a second one and let them work [...]
To touch up on some oracle related topics I decided to give oracle-xe (free as in beer) a spin. Turns out there is a repository for debian unstable for that. Nice!
The whole thing can be read at and obtained from oracle.
It’s not quite that straightforward to get the php5 connection up, but it’s manageable.
Now I [...]
