Bye Bye....

Blogger you have been with me for a long whiel now... BUT i have to move on.
My blog is on wordpress now. Enigmatic Thoughts

TLS up and running

Bwoy.... u see when u don't fully understand a thing u end up making PURE mistakes. Here i've been working on my SSL with LDAP. On the surface everything looked okay but when i checked out the logs i recieved some error messages.
Alas they were not really error messages..... i was seeing soemthing like:connection_read(11):

unable to get TLS client DN, error=49 id=0

Which was/is okay sine i'm not sending client certificates... it took me a flippin 2 weeks to know that. When i used ethereal to sniff my network that is when i noticed the information WAS being encrypted when i do a ldapsearch!!!!

Moving on to next project!!!!! :D

Minime - services

Ok.. just a re cap of what Minime is running now:
Chroot DNS + DHCP
LDAP w/ SSL (this has eluded for oooohhhh so long)
Mythtv 0.19 ( Yea baby)
Confluence (nice wiki)
Pro-ftpd

to be done:
add Samba (LDAP w/ SSL) create PDC
not sure what else i'm goign to try as yet

May try asterisk again but on my other machine the is running Dapper Flight 7 (soon upgrade to final release)

Minime.. Parts

Last niht i picked up the parts for Minime... you remember the part so that she can run a little quiter and cooler.

Wellll.. the quiter part is relative right now as i put in the new case fan and new heatsink& fan. It's not as LOUD as before but there is some unwated dB in the mix.. i'll live with it. This baby sucks some air.. let me tell u!!!!! I was surprised at teh amount of air i felt it sucking through, not upset about that buy at all. I want to install the Zalman soon.. but i'm going to need to get minime under the knife first.


I would of taken pics BUT camera battery dead... next time

MythTV-- 0.19

I finally have it up and running on y Ubuntu Breezy!!!! The remote works also. After about a good 2 weeks of solid work on it i have it up and running.
Now i just have to basically fine tune it.. cable channel listings point it to my music collection remap some keys for the remote,etc. little shit like that.

Ohh one other important thing i need to do is setup another instance of lirc so my PC can chage the channel on the cable box.
Ecstatic can not compare to what i am feelign right now after all of this.

Wow 3 post in one day.

Well .. I FINALLY have Minime understanding the key presses on the remote. There is soem twekaing i hae to do BUT i see it getting a weee little closer now :-).

After this i need to do soem scripting so the Minime can chagne the stations on the cablebox that i got from my cable company.

Moving Forward!!!!

The modules Ian suggested needed to be inclueded into the module did the trick:

Kernel woes

I've recompiled my kernel about 5 times in the last 2 days to try get my PVR-150 installed an running properly with the new 2.6.16 vanilla kernel. On doing some googling i cam upon a page that told me that i have to enable some stuff in my kernel to allow ivtv 0.6.2 to compile properly with the new kernel.
i kept on getting:

ivtv0: Failed to load module cx25840
ivtv0: Failed to load module wm8775
----------------snip--------------
ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x44 not found for command 0x40085618!
ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x44 not found for command 0xc0045627!
ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x44 not found for command 0x40046d11!
ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x44 not found for command 0x40085618!

Thanks to Ian Campbell and his website he pointed me in the right direction.

As I write this with the new settings enabled i do hope this gets rid of the blasted errors.

THEN after i deal with that.. then need to move on to lircd .. which i think i may have down pact. to a degree that is :D

Nothing new... well not really anyway

Welll.... it's been a few days. I've wanted to update the blog a few times BUT other things always seem to take precedence.
Minime has gotten a few extra parts.... namely the IR Blaster --->

a IR Reciever ---->

It's not Complete yet.. i even got the nifty little remote URC-8910 (ok it's not so little)

The thing now is to put these together into/onto Minime to get a nice working Media PC aka MythTV, that i can control with my trusty new remote. Honestly though the hard par is going to be the channel listings arrrghhhh...

Well the weight is coming off... slowly but surely.. i've been slacking off for the past few days.. actually for the past week and a half. I'll make up for it though... leaving my current employer soon so NUFF headache soon gone... yiipppeeee!!!!

I'm in trouble!!!

Ok I've been walking for a few weeks now. At first it was hard but i must admit it has gotten easier. I fear the damage has been done though. :(
I went to the doctor... i'm 273lbs!!! my pressure is wayyy too high 162/111. She decided to UP my pressure medicine and also gave me heart pills?!?!? I'm like what the fuck!!!!!!!

I went to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine $2,400 JA dollars ($1JA=$66 US). No wonder she even gave me a National health card to fill out so i can get my medication at a reduced rate.
Man something's got to change.. and it seems litk it has to be drastic for right now. I think he pressure was/is so high i basically slept the whole day.

Why am I playing around with this shit?! I know what high BP can do.. and yes i'm scared but it seems to not really phase me to much.

BLASTED!!!!!

Why is the human body so flipping fragile?!?!?!
