So I’ve been dragging my feet, trying to really wrap my brains around how nMOS, pMOS and the ever awesome n&p party called CMOS really get along, when I came across THIS freaking awesome page that really provided the illustration for how these things work that I’ve been looking for!

Hello, I recently upgraded one of my routers from pfsense 1.2-RC4 to 1.2.1-RC2 and ran in to a nasty issue regarding my wireless access point seemingly vanishing from existence. It took a few hours, but I figured out a work-around and posted how to resolve the issue. The jist is in the upgrade from FreeBSD 6.x to 7, …

It took me awhile to scrounge the stuff together, but eventually it all arrived. Then I spent a very careful 10 hours …

I can’t believe this machine! Just imagine where this will evolve to in a few years!

Hey gang, for those interested, I found on the openmoko website this awesome little file you can download, extract and quickly use to get the OpenMoko firmware to boot up in QEMU. So those who are interested in checking this phone out can get a slight sample of it this way. What I like about it is that I can begin …

So I’ve spent some time for something at work figuring out how to get an Ubuntu server to authenticate users with a Windows 2003 Server Active Directory.
