So, I put DD-WRT on my wireless router. It’s pretty nifty - maybe marginally more polished/focussed than OpenWRT, but it takes up a fair amount of my router’s four megabyte flash storage. It helped me get WPA bridged client mode on my Mitsubishi R100 wireless router working for the first time; but I also want […]
Nokia have kindly sent me an invite to their “Open C” conference. Open C seems to be a C port to Symbian; code written in standard C should be pretty easy to port to Symbian. I’d link to the invite page, but it borks if I remove my unique ID.
The interesting part is that the […]
More Fedora hilarity, this time caused by me naming my machine something meaningful via the hostname command.
I couldn’t tell what was causing it, but applications - even simple ones like the image viewer - were taking 1-2 minutes to load. A little network sniffing showed me that my Linux box was sending IPV6 DNS […]

Years ago, I sent an ad agency a battered bowling pin, asking if they were truly bowled over by the work they were currently […]
From Business Week:
The idea is that Brickhouse will give Yahoo a way to push the envelope and develop brand-new projects, while employees have the chance to experiment with ideas far from their day-to-day jobs. Horowitz is well aware of the risks. “The Valley is littered with examples of how this doesn’t work,” he says. But […]
Frank Schilling has an interesting post up on Search Engine Arbitrage:
You buy traffic at Google under keyword “hair accessories” and send that traffic to a made up website you created like hairstyling101.com, loaded with staged pseudo content and links to higher paying results at Yahoo. Because the visits from Google are highly targeted and […]
