Sun Oct 16 20:01:07 2005 GMT: Linux Kongress 2005
As I had decided not to visit Linux-Tag this year, I have instead travelled to Linux Kongress (in Hamburg) last week. On Wednesday I attended the "Capturing and analyzing kernel crash dumps using Kdump tutorial which was quite interesting because I was able to learn some new stuff (as I usually stay on the application side and don't touch the kernel).
The conference itself took place on Thursday and Friday with lots of kernel-related presentations. In my opinion the highlights were Harald Welte's overview of current netfilter development, Clustered Samba (Volker Lendecke) and DRBD (Philipp Reisner).
BTW, I am still wondering why the conference organisers weren't able to set up two or three wireless access points (which ideally would be running Linux) to get some reasonable wireless coverage at the conference. It took them half a day to set up some Internet access via the lousy (coverage-wise) university W-LAN.

A few days ago The OrbZone, a CORBA community portal (sponsored by IONA Technologies) has been launched.
Tue Sep 27 21:08:33 2005 GMT: Simple SIP Forwarder
I have just written a simple SIP forwarder, because having a SIP address with your own domain is much cooler than just using one of the well-known SIP registrars.
Technically, this is a stateless SIP proxy using a SQLite database for storing the forwarding rules.
Currently, I have set it up to forward sip:cmeerw@cmeerw.org to my sipgate.at account.

Remember the Google Web Accelerator? I guess it's safe to call it a complete failure, but they have now come up with a new way to trick you into routing all your internet traffic via Google's servers: Google Secure Access. Do I have to mention that they are only offering a closed-source Windows-only client and, of course, don't tell you anything about the protocol.
Hmm, I wonder why Google isn't able to come up with something more innovative. They have been leading the search engine market for some time (and have earned loads of money with their advertising service), but their GMail service isn't particularly great, Google Web Accelerator was a complete failure and Google Talk is hardly the killer application the world has been waiting for.
Sun Sep 18 19:00:15 2005 GMT: More WRT54G Firmware Hacking
I have continued my work on my WRT54G firmware by implementing and integrating an XName DNS update client. I have also upgraded dnsmasq to the latest version and have added a configuration option so you can choose between busybox's udhcpd and dnsmasq as the DHCP server.
