work / verisign

Well, found a patch for bind9 which allows me to block Verisigns wildcard domain stupidity at the source. This way their travesty doesn't actually cost me any trafic charges (thanks, Verisign!)



If you want the patch too, check http://phirate.exorsus.net/b2/index.php?m=200309#38

wifi / hostap

Yay! Hostap is working with 2.4.22 (the crypro module refused to load under 2.6.0-test4) and I now have 11Mb/sec Wifi, as opposed to 2Mb/sec :-)

work / connectivity

It's time to make a decision about our connectivity. Either stay with ISDN, upgrade to SHDSL for about the same price or possibly a cheaper (though not necessarily equally reliable) ADSL link. Would be good to get the ISP charges down a bit, though, and spend that money on a house/car/trip to europe ;-)


Incidentally, our corporate website is also up on http://www.ipv6.cc.com.au/ these days.

wifi / hostap

I'm fiddling with hostap today, to see if I can get the cruddy laptop to work like a real AP. While I'm at it, I'm also trying to get it to work with a 2.6.0-test kernel.
