The New York Times has an interesting article about “hacker hostels” [1]. I had an idea for similar things after watching a Japanese movie about Tokiwa-sÅ – a shared apartment for Manga artists which among others inspired the creator of Astro Boy [2]. The TED blog has an interesting interview with William Noel about open […] Android vs iPad I’m currently in discussions with a client about a potential future project which involves a tablet computer talking to some electronic equipment. The options are an Android tablet and an iPad. One advantage of Android is that it runs on devices of all shapes and sizes, so we can choose a device […] I’ve just broken my second SATA connector. This isn’t a lot considering the number of hard drives I’ve worked with, but it’s still really annoying as I generally don’t break things. The problem is that unplugging a SATA cable requires pushing a little clip, this isn’t overly difficult but it unfortunately doesn’t fit well with […] Over a year ago when I was considering my first Android phone purchase I setup a test account on my mail server so that I could test email clients on phones and tablets. I used a short password because I didn’t want to type a lot on small screens and because typing a password into […] This Youtube video is an amusing satire of EULAs and copyright law as applied to uploading consciousness [1]. Washington’s Blog has an insightful article about the way that the lack of trust in the US is killing their economy [2].

This compares to TV adverts which […] I’ve just uploaded a new SE Linux policy for Debian/Wheezy. It now works correctly with systemd and Chromium, two significant features that I wanted for Wheezy. Now it turns out that we have until the end of the month for Wheezy updates, so I may get another version of the policy uploaded before then. If […] After upgrading a mail server to Debian/Unstable (which will soon be released as Wheezy) I started getting SASL errors. 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: no mechanism available The SMTP protocol gave the above error for both LOGIN and PLAIN methods. SASL LOGIN authentication failed: no mechanism available The postfix/smtpd process logged messages like the above […] It’s almost the Wheezy freeze time and I’ve been working frantically to get things working properly. Policy Status At the moment I’m preparing an upload of the policy which will support KDE (and probably most desktop environment) logins and many little fixes related to server operations (particularly MTAs). I would like to get another version […] I’ve just released a new version of Memlockd, a daemon to lock essential files in RAM to increase the probability of recovering a system that is paging excessively [1]. The new features are: Using Debian/Wheezy paths for shared objects on i386 and amd64. Added a new config file option to not log file not found […] |
