Check
out the WebDav server @ http://kde.opendarwin.org (use Cmd-K from the
Finder): These are pre-alpha binaries of the native implementation of
KDE on Mac OS X. It gives you Quanta 3.3 BE! No need to run X11 or
Fink. You also get the real Apple application starters and Apple
menu’s. Enjoy!

I’ve GPLed an old class of mine. This PHP class, a link validator, i wrote in october 2003 and only used it in a site of mine nlweed.com to check if posted links are still valid. Now I found the class and thought that it would be a waste only to use it ones. So here is the GPLed version. Check the source for documentation and the readme for code examples.

Now hear this… I installed MacOS X 10.2 jaguar on my iMac. It was installed after one hour ;) and after playing with it for a few hours, I shut the box down. The next day I fired her up again, and now I got only the blue color on my iMac! After thinking a while, I put on an external monitor, and the colors where okay than… Damn, internal CRT broken?! After taking the whole Mac appart, a friend of mine told me, it couldn’t be solved by installing a new CRT, but I should only download and install a small Firmware Upgrade! DUH!So, There I was… Putted the whole box together again, started from my old 9.1 OS installation, runned the Firmware upgrade, restarted again with MaxOS X… And YES! There are the colors again!!! AIAIAI ;)Thanx to Oscar from StudioLEO.nl, here’s the frimware upgrade I used…

Yes, finaly I’ve finished my new site. Now it’s easy to update my site.
So now I will update my site better! So you’ve to check my site often
for new stuff and new projects. New in this site is the search…

Check it in my MacOS X how to section. It’s real easy with ‘fink’!

Here’s how I got an PPP connection trough my serial port. Before I can have internet on my iPAQ (with an familiar distro installed on it…) I had to compile a new kernel on my laptop with ‘PPP filtering’ enabled. You can find it under ‘Network Devices’ in ‘make menuconfig’. For IP portforwarding you’ll have to have some more stuff in your kernel you can find here. How to build a custom Debian kernel package is here. Also installed ‘ppp’ on my laptop with:

apt-get install ppp

Before we go on, I’ve got an internal network with a NetGear router, it’s IP number is 192.168.1.1 and it’s the internal gateway and DNS server of my laptop. When you don’t have the same setup, change the 192.168.1.1 into the IP number from the gateway (or DNS) from your access-provider.

Then I made a file ‘/etc/ppp/peers/ipaq‘ on my laptop, with this content:

-detach
noauth
nocrtscts
lock
local
ms-dns 192.168.1.1
user ppp
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 ogin--ogin: ppp'
/dev/ttyS0
115200
192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2

Then edit the ‘/etc/modules.conf‘ on the iPAQ and add these lines to it:

alias /dev/ppp          ppp_generic
alias char-major-108    ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3       ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14      ppp_synctty

Then add to ‘/etc/modules‘

ppp_async

Now reboot your iPAQ with the command ‘reboot’. Then kill your minicom, if it’s on… and then open the ppp connection to the iPAQ from your PC, on Debian you do that with

pon ipaq

When it works you’ll see this

Serial connection established.
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
local  IP address 192.168.0.1
remote IP address 192.168.0.2

Now you can ssh to the iPAQ…

ssh root@192.168.0.2

With me the login takes a second or 10… So be patient, it’s a serial connection ;)

Now you want internet on your iPAQ trough your serial PPP connection. So when you’ve compiled IP portforwarding (see my howto) in your kernel, you do the following. Make a file ‘ipmasq.sh’ with the following contents:

#!/bin/sh
#Assuming external internet card is eth0, and IP is 192.168.1.2
# modprobe ipt_MASQUERADE;
#Uncomment line above when you didn't compile it into the kernel
iptables -F; iptables -t nat -F; iptables -t mangle -F;
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to 192.168.1.2;
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward;

Make the file executeable by doing:

chmod +x ipmasq.sh

Now start it as root

./ipmasq.sh

Okay, now you should be able to ping your gateway, in my case 192.168.1.1. When you’ve got a ping the ipmasq works. Now try to ping www.google.com, that should work now to!
Now you can upgrade your distro with

/root/postinst
ipkg update
ipkg upgrade
ipkg install less
ipkg list | less
ipkg install madplay

Have fun ;)
