Upgraded to IPCop 1.4.6

Ok, I know, I'm too hungry for new versions, but that's me! :-). I upgraded my recently upgraded IPCop box. Now it's running version 1.4.5. Update: Now updated to 1.4.6. With 1.4.4 it was not a smooth upgrade, but don't get me wrong. IPCop itself was easily upgraded, the problems were with "Copfilter" an "Addons...

Linux in an Ethernet RJ-45 jack

This is really interesting, a german company made a network enabled linux system in an RJ-45 jack. It's called "Picotux". It has a 2.4.27 uClinux port. There is also an 802.11b enabled version of it (the antenna is bigger than the machine!!). I really like this kind of small devices, perhaps I can put one...

Upgraded to IPCop 1.4.4

Well, I finally decided and upgraded my IPCop box from 1.4.2 to 1.4.4. All is working fine now, but it was not as smooth as it was supposed to be. After installing the 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 upgrade files and before rebooting, I uninstalled all my installed MODs from Addon Server as it was recommended. Then...

Gentoo 2005.0

I've read in Barrapunto that Gentoo 2005.0 is out. I've always been curious about Gentoo and never tried. Perhaps it's because I'm feeling at home with Mandrake, who knows. But I think time has come and probably will be trying it on my SparcStation 10, and probably I will have to let it run for...

Trouble waking up? use Clocky!

One can never stop being surprised!. It seems like a joke, but it's real. If you have trouble waking up, MIT media lab has created an alarm clock for you. When you press the snooze button, it rolls off your bedside table and hide itself in a corner, so you will have to go and...

Reconfigurable Computer C-One

Perhaps not many of you know the C-One (Commodore One). This computer is unique because it's a reconfigurable computer. This means that in can "morph" into many different computers. To say it in simple words it's somewhat like an emulator, but in hardware, more accurately it's reimplementation of other chips in FPGA (field programmable gate...

Digital Camera

Some time ago I decided it was time to get my hands on a digital camera. I decided to go for the Sony DSC-P93. Wow!, I'm more than happy with it. It's really quite a good camera and has more functionality than I ever imagine. Let me say that I'm not a photographer or photo...

Site Redesign

Well, I gues that all beginnings are rough. I changed my mind over the design and made a couple of changes to one I downloaded. I hope you like it.

VoIP paranoia

This days seems to be VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) everywhere, in fact I'm looking at the alternatives to make up my mind on what to choose. Probably I will start with free calls over internet, then go with one VoIP provider, and then with real VoIP enabled phones. But if you're looking for privacy,...

Computer “Table” case

From time to time people keep surprising me. I've read on slashdot about this guy that made a computer case that doubles as a nice table (here is a mirror). I think I could have one of this in the kitchen!, do you like this kinds of mods?
