Well… just this afternoon, I made some steps towards getting HF going on the bicycle mobile station. I’ve had the station going a while now… and with the new workplace being so close to home, I’m often heard on 2m, usually on three repeaters: Bayside VK4RBS: 146.875MHz FM Mt. Cotton VK4RAX: 147.075MHz FM Mt. Glorious [...]

Well, after a few minor hiccups with delivery (basically I wasn’t home when the first delivery was made, the second delivery — apparently the driver knocks on the door with a very delicate touch), I have at last gotten hold of one of these devices. Out of the box, they run Debian Linux/MIPS, with just [...]
Here’s some humourous food for thought. Those of you in front of a Linux/Unix system, install fortune-mod and have a squiz at /usr/share/fortune/law — or just view this file that I have compiled. Looking around, I found some more from elsewhere. After you’ve stopped laughing… a query… How many of these laws are actually true? [...]
Hi all… I’ve been rather busy and thus haven’t had much time for Gentoo work, but today I managed to get some patches together that allow Firefox 3.0.1 to build and run on MIPS. The ebuild is as yet, unkeyworded, as I wish to do some further testing. I have successfully compiled it on little-endian [...]
Emma was our family pet, of almost 18 years. She arrived in the family, as a barely 6-week old kitten in late 1990, and has been part of this family ever since. We’re not exactly sure when she was born… possibly around August/September. She had a comfortable life, at times playful, much of the time [...]
Well, I’ve tinkered today with the headset and this Bluetooth dongle, and got a little further. Still can’t actually connect to anything, but I am seeing devices pop up in Konqueror under the bluetooth:/ kioslave and hcitool scan actually reports some devices.wander ~ # hcitool scan –flush Scanning … 20:07:35:xx:xx:xx KF-700 00:1E:E1:xx:xx:xx SGH-A412 I have [...]
Okay… a quick notice to those who probably saw my political post on Gentoo Universe. A few months ago, I put in a forced redirect so that the “all posts” feed on my blog redirects to the Public Syndication category, a special category containing posts that I deem appropriate for distribution for other websites. My [...]
I’ve done some changes to my blog with respect to categories. I’m quite conscious, that what I say on this blog gets syndicated on a number of websites. So as to protect the owners of those sites from posts that may not be appropriate, I have hacked my WordPress installation to force syndication requests to [...]
Well, right now I’m lying back, listening to the fruits of my labours. When it comes to time-shifting, there are quite a few solutions that allows a user to time-shift television. MythTV, Tivo, Foxtel IQ… just to name three. However, I’ve looked around, and found very little for radio. My needs are basic… I have [...]
Well, those who recall my earlier post… I’ve managed to get a VM going. qemu-mipsel ~ # emerge –info Portage 2.1.2-r9 (default-linux/mips/2007.0/cobalt/o32, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.18-4-qemu mips) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-4-qemu mips MIPS 4Kc V0.0 FPU V1.0 Gentoo Base System release 1.12.6 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 13:50:01 +0000 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: [...]
