Blog migrated to Pelican
Blog successfully migrated from Nanoblogger to Pelican. I was able to use this Ruby script with some changes so that it outputs to Mardown instead of HTML.
Afterwards I just needed to modify the tags and categories accordingly then copy the resulting markdown files into Pelican's content directory

Astro EPG for Vista Media Center
If you're still using Vista Media Center to watch Astro, I've updated my little script which scrapes the Astro website and creates the XMLs needed by BladeRunner to generate TV Guide data for Vista Media Center. If you're just interested in the XMLs, point your BladeRunner to https://www.lrdshaper …
Fun with Asterisk + Festival + Google Calendar
I've always used a basic celfone with my only requirement that it can import contacts either via usb or bluetooth and always rely on my PDA to remind me of everything from meetings to calls to birthdays and everything else in between. Well my current PDA, a trusty old Clie …

Finished my asterisk setup
After lots of reading and studying over the previous weekend I finally got my asterisk setup the way I wanted it. Previously running on the XBOX and now moved to the SheevaPlug, I now have two PSTN lines (one in the Philippines and one here in Malaysia) that can also …

More toys!
I received my SheevaPlug this week. It's a teeny-bit
smaller than I thought it would be from the pics that I see on the net. Probably because of my somewhat larger hands :)
Anyway, the SheevaPlug is a small device, probably the size
of a laptop's power brick, that's very big …
2.6.18 Kernel for Xbox
Category : Asterisk Tags: gnu/linux, xbox, asterisk, kernel, xebian, debian
I wanted to move my Asterisk setup from my NSLU2 to the Xbox. After successfully compiling both Asterisk and Zaptel I get an error while trying to load the Zaptel modules:
FATAL: Error inserting ztdummy (/lib/modules/2.6.16 …
Privoxy Add-on v1.0 (ReadyNAS NV+/NV/Duo/1100/600/X6)
Made my first add-on for the ReadyNAS sparc devices: Privoxy Add-on for ReadyNAS sparc devices - a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. This add-on is based on Privoxy v3 …
NSLU2 is now Debian powered
Managed to finish most of the migration as scheduled. Installation and configuration took roughly 8-10hrs including a few power naps here and there and native compilation of some of the packages mostly because the newer version is not in the repositories. NTP server is up, so is the WINS server …
Web server will be down the whole weekend
I'll be replacing my NSLU2's HDD this weekend and moving from uNSLUng to Debian Lenny RC1. Since I also have quite a list of services that I have to migrate to Debian, the site may well be down the whole weekend.
The NSLU2 currently runs on a 160gb 3.5 …
Services moved to the XBOX
Finally finished moving most of the services from my NSLU2
to the XBOX running
XebianV1.1.4. It was a slow process setting up the
XBOX just the way I want it with what little spare time I have but now I'm quite happy with it. XBOX now runs:

SSH Forwarding
I read a post last night in the ReadyNAS Forums asking about how to securely access the Bittorent Client Web UI in his ReadyNAS from a remote location. I made a step by step guide in their forums on how to go about doing that thru SSH Forwarding and I …
Another toy just arrived :)
Got a new toy!!!
Well, sort of. It's not really new and it's also not mine. My friend lent me an XBOX to play with since he's no longer using it seeing as he just recently bought an XBOX360. Now let's see if I can get linux working on this baby, something to keep …
Random fortunes are up
Yep it's up and running. I decided to use javascript so the fortunes are dynamic 'on every pageload' as opposed to 'on every new post' if I used bash.
Lets add some random fortunes
I think I'll be sticking with JS-Kit for a while. I like how it's so easy to add to any part of the page you want and moderating the comments is also a breeze.
So tonight I'll be adding a random fortune routine to add some flavor to the site …
JS-Kit + nanoblogger
Decided to try JS-Kit Comments first and got it up and running in less than 10mins! ;) I literally had to add only one line of code in some of the nanoblogger templates.
For those wanting to try JS-Kit to add comments in nanoblogger you just add the line
<font size …
Thoughts so far
Boy when the nanoblogger website mentioned slowness as one of the "cons", they weren't kidding. But after all the processing are complete, everything is in static html which is just the way I wanted it.
Getting comments to work is getting longer than I expected though. Both NBCom and blogKomm …
My first post
Well after years of always coming up with an excuse not to start a blog I finally decided to take the plunge and play around with nanoblogger. The fact that my main PC's power supply broke down last Thursday and not having a way to get some projects done during …
