Debian on Sheeva Plug internal NAND flash
After a bit of work, I got the sheeva plug working the way I wanted it to. First of all, I grabbed a spare 1G USB flash disk I had laying around and installed Debian squeeze to it by following tbm’s instructions here: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html After debian was installed to the USB disk, I removed it…

Putting new radios up in Everett
I’m happy to note that we’re putting up new radios in Everett. The plan is to provide free but limited Internet access to neighbors and sell service to those who need a “fatter pipe” as the kids say. We’ve been running a repeater for over a year now. It doesn’t provide access to the Internet,…

blog optimizations
Thanks to some recommendations from Jeremy, Pierre and Jeff, this blog should be running a lot less slowly. I’ve installed memcached, set up wordpress plugins, tuned apache MPM parameters, tweaked iptables and tc rules and beaten on the blog with load testing scripts.

Importing darcs into a git branch
Maybe this will make it more google-able… Looks like you can export your darcs repo with darcs-fast-export and then import it with git-fast-import 18:15 < wakko666> I have kind of an odd question that google doesn’t seem to know.

IronRuby continuous integration back online
We haven’t done much work on keeping the continuous integration (CI) machines online, and there haven’t been any new builds since November of ’09. I should set Nagios to remind us when things get off track or something. The recent acceptance of the DLR into Debian and our intention to get the next release produced…

More DLR work
Ivan put up a hudson server on our winders box. Ankit helped me figure out the IronRuby xbuild build problems. I should probably try it on IronPython, too. I sent the ironruby-core list a patch to fix some case sensitivity issues. Some time in the near future, I’m going to get together a bug report…
