Evil Mad Scientist Lab
I wish I had the kind of creativity that one needs to come up with things like this, this or this. Sadly, I don’t so I’ll just have to copy his ideas and have fun with ‘em… And dream of coming up with something.

OK, I laugh every time I read this.
It’s simply awesome, and I wonder how many orders I’d get if I’d put this up for sale at ebay… A picture of a painted electron should do the trick. And well, say 1.49USD per gallon for the zero-volume paint. I imagine the postage should be dirty cheap [...]
Booting DEC PW500AU
I’ve got an ancient Digital Equipment Corporations Personal Workstation 500AU, containing an EV56 Alpha cpu. Quite nice. Got no CD or floppy station, so only option seems to be net-booting, which is quite straight forward on about any computer I’ve touched that’s not an X86… On most Alpha systems, you just enter boot -flags ‘a’ [...]
Apt on OpenSuSE 10.3
OpenSuSE has yast2 and zypper, so why apt you might ask? Because apt-get is simply superior to zypper and yast2, and apt is far far quicker than zypper on resolving depencies. And apt-cache search is nicer than zypper’s search feature. So for me, apt is a nice tool…
To get Apt working, you’ll have to install [...]
Howto defeat EU’s data retention act
Some times it pays to read slashdot at -1. Today, I came across this nice post about defeating EU’s data retention act on telecommunications. It’s worth reading and using.
I’ve taken the text from slashdot and posted here, since I believe it’s in the authors interest to make this as public as possible. I urge you [...]
Strange javascript experience.
I’m currently writing a bit on aids again, and I’m currently working on a dynamic resizing function that resizes images to fit in the view-port of the browser. Check for example this image, which should neatly fit the height of your viewport.
To correct for the navbar on top, I need to subtract 120 pixels… Usually, [...]
ntop for fun and profit.
ntop is a network monitoring utility, showing usage info about the network.
It’s quite nice for discovering bandwith hogs, average load, traffic stats etc. It graphs the usage for different protocols in more or less realtime, without much configuration. It’s as simple as firing up ntop -i eth0 and fire up a web browser to watch.
It [...]
A blogger blogging about kripos and the Tele2 incident…
A person that’ve been raided by KRIPOS writes a blog about the expirience, and the progress of the case. I really urge you to read his blog, as it provides a far better view of that side of the case than my blog.
Head over to delay.no/blogg and have a look. It’s worthwhile! He even writes [...]
Theft of information… and why KRIPOS fucks it up.
Recently, quite a lot of information about individuals have been aloft in Norway. The government seems to ignore the problem, and just silence the people complaining and uncovering the problem.
Traditionally, identity theft has not been much of a problem in Norway, but this has changed the last few years, and this incident could pave the [...]
