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 [...]
I struck this little jem today whilst shuffling the partitions around on my MacBook. (In my wisdom, I had made my MacOS X partitions waaay too big, and my Linux partitions waaay too small.) The back-story is that I had made my MacOS X root and /Users partitions too big. I had successfully shrunk both, [...]
Yes, Finally, thank-you Jeffrey for admitting this. If only you had realised this years ago, I might not be battling Microsoft SQL Server 2000 using RDP over a 31.2kbps PSTN modem link yesterday and this morning. I might’ve instead been using a mysqldump-like tool over something akin to SSH, which would have been very welcome [...]
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 [...]
This post may also be read here. Well, today I did some more work on the 2m linear. Earlier this week I ordered some SMA connectors and some 1N5711 diodes for the project. Two 1N5711 diodes will be used to make a voltage peak detector, to detect when the amplifier is subjected to power above [...]
This build log is also viewable here. Background A few months back, I grabbed the trusty FT-290R II ready to do my weekly run from The Gap to Tarragindi. Quick test to check everything’s okay… the power meter swings to full scale, but strange, I’m not hitting any repeaters. Okay, grabbed the FT-897D instead, and [...]
The problem For some time now, we’ve been putting up with interference from a few stations, who for now will remain nameless. Foul language, deliberate interference, the list goes on… Allegedly some of these people have been doing it for longer than I’ve been alive. It is as if, these people, believe we are not [...]
(I’m not one normally for airing dirty laundry in this manner, but I feel it is marginally better than airing it on the air.) Dear Mal, Please. What is your problem? This evening, your behaviour on this band was absolutely appauling. For someone who has apparently had a radio license for longer than I’ve been [...]
Some have looked at my bicycle, with the HF regalia and have commented on how extreme the setup there is. However, it is worth pointing out, my station only covers the bands between 80m and 70cm (3.5 ~ 450MHz). The radio can do 160m, however my license doesn’t permit me to go there, and 80m [...]
