Patrick’s weblog, featuring posts dating back to 2002 on topics including technology, open source, networking, and various technical adventures.
Earthlink has released some very cool WRT54G custom firmware that natively supports IPv6 tunneling. This makes it trivially easy for anyone to set up IPv6 tunnels to their home. The fact that big time players are hacking away on this little box is incredibly cool. I’ve had IPv6 setup…
Scissors, the fine K6-200 machine with a badass circa 1997 “I Love Unix” SCO sticker, will be on autopilot for the next few days as I’m off in Texas, it’s like a whole nother country down there. If this is anything like previous trips, something…
I knew I shouldn’t have gotten too excited about us winning the broadcast flag fight. Today we lost a much more important fight. The senate voted 100-0 to approve the supplemental funding for Iraq which had a nice rider of the Real ID act which…
I set up a MythTV Wiki today. I should be doing work. But I guess this was a nice little distraction. If you’re a WPLUGer who just got a card stop by and help me fill in some details. I’m aware that there is already…
Ever wondered what a grad student like me would look like as a South Park character? Well, I just designed myself. Feel free to make your own South Park character. Mad props to the [planet fd.o](http://planet.freedesktop.org/) folk for showing me this.

Ah yes, there’s nothing like coming back from seminar to see that you’ve got 20 pcHDTV tuner cards waiting for you in your office. These were prviously written about here, here, and here. In any case, they’re in and I’ve got a BIG ASS charge…
I think I flubbed up parts of the order on the last order of pcHDTV cards. Namely, I ordered 1 too few, so I only get one card. That sorta sucks. I’m willing to order more if we can find some other folks to join…
Three years ago I purchased a nice copy of Quicken Deluxe 2002 to help manage my finances. By and large, I’ve been fairly happy with it. There were a few features that I never could get running quite properly, namely PNC Bank, NetBank, and allowing…
A few weeks ago I posted about The Great WPLUG pcHDTV Buy and how I was I hoping to get 10 cards organized in a purchase. Beyond my expectations, we managed to get almost 17 people to purchase cards. This is 17 more people who are standing…
