Random Thoughts



I just watched Italian Job ... "no imagination" seems to be the correct phrase to describe the state of my mind right now. Hee hee. Hmm ... I think this is in the wrong BLOG ... should be in Chnrxn instead.


Check out Linux SysAdmin Portal. Make it your daily read.

IT Snippets


The Perfect Programming Environment - The Joel Test: 12 Steps to Better Code. A must read for all software developers! Yes, this includes firmware as well!


Yahoo PoPs! has released a whole new version 0.5 on Aug 3, 2003. I know this is old news, since 0.4.6 has been serving me well until now. A good thing that Yahoo! decided to disable free POP3 access for their free accounts, because having YahooPoPs! allows me to check my mail conveniently from even behind my office's proxy server! Kudos to 1 Anuj Seth, K Shyam, and Daniel Bryg!


Snippet Library at SourceForge has a collection of many useful utilities. Check it out.

Where Art Thou DSL305EW / NA3000???


After a lot of hoo haa, NA3000 is still not released. DSL305EW is still stuck at the factory.


I have written many enhancements to the firmware, including SmartDNS/URL, port range forwarding, and enhanced, more user-friendly wireless configuration.


In the pipeline is triggered port forwarding, ICMP ping blocking on the WAN, and hopefully a SPI firewall buit-in. All these of course will not come easily. Lots of testing still needs to be done.
