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 …

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 …

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 …

If you own a hacked ( NSLU2 or XBOX), rtorrent and screen/dtach can prove to be your new best friend. It's lightweight, fast, stable and uses less memory than a goldfish.

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

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 …

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 …
