Mon Apr 05 20:48:28 2004 GMT: Firmware Build Woes
I spent some time tracking down a problem in WRT54G's build system which causes my updated busybox to segfault. Actually, even a simple hello world program (syscall(__NR_write, 1, "Hello world\n", 12);) dumped core when dynamically linked, but it worked when linked with the static libc.a.
The culprit seems to be a nasty optimization of the shared libraries. The build system tries to only include those symbols that are actually used by some installed program. Unfortunately, it fails to process the symbols busybox depends on for some reason (mipsel-uclibc-nm refused to work on the busybox binary) and therefore it doesn't include the syscall function (and probably others).

Thu Apr 01 21:28:36 2004 GMT: OpenVPN 2.0 Beta
James Yonan has released a beta version of the upcoming OpenVPN 2.0 which will include support for multiple clients connecting to the same UDP port on the VPN-server with absolutely no client-specific configuration (on both the server and the client) except for correct TLS certificates. Of course, I have already tried it on my WRT54G.
Wed Mar 31 19:24:32 2004 GMT: If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em
More precisely, if you can't create it, duplicate it. On Windows, you can't open the serial port device (COM port) by multiple applications at the same time - even if you try to allow sharing. But what you can actually do is to get the file handle from the application that has initially opened the device and duplicate it. In my opinion this is absolutely horrific.

Millions of bloggers have already written about Google's new look, but it's not just the look. Google has finally removed descriptions from the Open Directory Project from their search result pages. You know, they were violating the Open Directory License by including ODP-derived content without providing the required attribution.
