Well, further analysis today. The Flytouch III seems to boot off an embedded SD card. I don’t know if it is removable or not, for now I’ll assume no. Having gained root access earlier, I was able to use dd and nc to siphon off a copy of the internal SD card, which appears as [...]

Yes, I’ve joined this century and bought myself a tablet. Lately, I’ve found myself needing some means of navigating in strange areas whilst on the bicycle, and while pieces of paper work — if you’re organised enough to print them out in advance and not ride too fast (otherwise they disappear with the wind), I’ve [...]
Hi all… I got fed up of restoring my firmware for the Broadcom wireless chip in my late-2008 model MacBook. Anyone who has one of these might find the current in-tree versions of net-wireless/b43-firmware is missing files needed by the modern b43 driver (namely ucode16_mimo.fw), and net-wireless/b43-fwcutter doesn’t well, cut it, for extracting the newer [...]
It was interesting when I posted a news article to the WIA regarding IPv6, how quickly it got shot down by “experts”. A recent addition to our network was a 2008-model Apple MacBook, which I have dual-booting Gentoo and MacOS X 10.6.7 nicely. One quirk of this particular laptop though, is that it will, when [...]

Well, I’ve been meaning to get around to fixing up svxlink in Gentoo for a long time now. For those who don’t know, svxlink is a client and server for the EchoLink amateur radio linking system. We had to stop releasing the Qtel client, as it relied on Qt3 which we no longer ship in [...]
Well… has anyone noticed anything different about the ‘net? stuartl@atomos ~ $ host www.google.com.au www.google.com.au is an alias for www.google.com. www.google.com is an alias for www.l.google.com. www.l.google.com has address 74.125.237.52 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.237.48 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.237.49 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.237.50 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.237.51 www.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2404:6800:4006:802::1011 I knew World IPv6 [...]
Without wishing to sound harsh, two words: Don’t bother. There are a few reasons why I’m not on FaceBook… Need First and foremost, is a matter of need. The primary reasons why someone would set up something on FaceBook is to enable their friends to be able to locate them on the Internet. In my [...]
This weekend just gone I was at Imbil helping out with the International Rally of Queensland, reporting scores for the car rally there. This was my first look at packet radio in action. Prior to this I had enabled the amateur radio options in the kernels I built, but never tried actually hooking radio to [...]
Well, been some time now since I announced the start of some µClibc stages. So far, not much has happened there other than the fact that I’ve successfully hard-locked the Fulong 2E system that I tried compiling on. This is despite compiling with binutils-2.21 and using -Wa,-mfix-loongson2f-nop… which is usually enough to prevent lockups. Clearly [...]
