The Yubikey is a nice little device. It’s quite simple in design and operation.
The key actually emulating a USB keyboard, which makes it instantly usable on any modern OS. You just press the button on the key to generate a one-time-password (OTP) to validate you. The method works by typing in your password, but before [...]

It seems that Adobe, after issuing a press release claiming they would be opening up the RTMP protocol in the ‘first half of 2009′, have issued a DMCA take down request for an open source implementation of the protocol, RTMPdump. The SourceForge project site for RTMPdump now shows ‘Invalid Project’.
This is going to mean it’s [...]

So it seems that my CentOS 5 Dom0 wasn’t stable. When building new virtual machines, the machine would hang and I’ve have to go back into the machine room to reboot it.
I have suspicions that it was due to the 3ware 8006 RAID controller, but instead of messing around with that, I’ve installed Debian Lenny [...]

Once we realised how much Stable lodge was really costing us, we upgraded our accommodation for the four nights we had in Bangkok. We booked a serviced apartment at Citiadines in Sukhumvit 8, just down the road from Stable Lodge.

We booked it on Wotif and it cost us a little bit [...]

We were planning on catching the overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, but at the train station, they said they didn’t have any first class tickets available, so we flew instead. This meant waiting at the airport in Bangkok for a few hours, but it meant we got to Chiang Mai much sooner.

Got a taxi from Stable Lodge to Bangkok airport early in the morning to fly to Surat Thani. Surat Thani airport reminds me a lot of Avalon Airport. Pretty small and smells funny. Once we grabbed our bags, there was a guy selling tickets to Ko Samui. Perfect.

As you may have heard, protests have been going on in Bangkok recently. It seems to be about the Thai people wanting their prime minister to resign.
We finally got a taxi from our hotel to the airport, after many taxi’s refused to take us. The guy who did end up taking us was a bit [...]

Bek and I managed to score some really cheap JetStar flights to Bangkok six months ago in a 2 for 1 deal. In the end we paid about $400 each for our return tickets, so we’ve had six months to look forward to this trip.
The flight was about normal. It started with JetStar being late [...]

NOTE: Much of this isn’t necessary now, because OpenWRT 8.09 now supports AR7. You can just grab the openwrt-ar7-squashfs.bin image to use from http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.1/ar7/

I’ve had this old D-Link DSL-502T sitting around, basically working. When I moved place just recently, I took the opportunity to look into getting OpenWRT installed on this thing, basically because I [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here, but I wanted to share something cool that I found.
It’s called the Nokia Sports Tracker and you can use it for tracking your workouts. As friends of mine will know, I do a bit of running. Sometimes it’s handy to know how far you’ve gone or [...]
