Well it looks like OpenBSD 3.8 is ready to go. I’m looking forward to installing it on my zaurus. w00t!

I finally figured out just now that:
Did I ever tell you how you live in me
Every waking moment, even in my dreams?
And if all this talk is crazy
And you don’t know what I feel
Does it really matter?
Which is from a Lara Fabian song, is the sample in Moonrise. It took me a few months, but I finally heard it. Blows my mind when I can’t figure out a sample and them *boom* there it is.
Hey, one of the coolest ROMs available for the Sharp Zaurus, pdaxrom, needs your help. Check out this thread for more info, or just click here to go to the pdaxrom paypal donation page.
That’s right… they broke out, bounced, split. Seems they didn’t like the way things were working with Miro and the Mambo Foundation. Check out the story on newsforge and the developers letter at their new site. Mambo rocks! Go devs!
“Good morning class. Today I’d like all of you to download our newest release of Gaim. It features some major security fixes and some minor bug fixes and feature whatchamadingers. So download, install, attempt to climb a 5.12c, and have a marvelous day!” Check gaim.sourceforge.net for download links and the rest.
I was running an OpenBSD PF firewall here at my office for several months, replacing a Cisco PIX with something I felt more comfortable with. The only issues I had with it, were that 1) AOL Instant Messenger stopped working, even after I opened the proper ports, and 2) Optimum Online’s Web Mail ceased to work (it would immediately log a user out upon login. These issues were very minor, and so I left it alone. Eventually the cause of these 2 issues lead to a similar problem, this time with software made by ACT called Work Keys. The Work Keys help desk insisted that the problem was being caused by caching (i.e. a proxy server). I insisted that I had no proxy server. I had no caching enabled anywhere… so what was the problem? Well thanks to this email I figured it out! It has to do with NAT address pools.
Although I still have windows on my machine (FL Studio is a killer app… can’t help it) my primary OS has been linux for a few years now. I use OpenBSD for firewalls at work, and have experimented with FreeBSD at home as well. After using linux from scratch for so long, I began to feel the itch for change. This is the beginning of a long story, which I’ll get to writing more of later. If the mood strikes me I’ll post lots of technical details and so forth, but as of right now I’ll say this… I wish OpenBSD had support for my sound card… *sigh* Stay tuned for more!
Wow Rats On Cocaine! Wow. LOL
