I've decided to create a separate gmail account for my work related stuff. Actually I used my account on gazeta.pl. It is powered by gmail but has an advantage - it uses separate cookies for the authentication. This means that I can be logged on both accounts at the same time in one browser. The gazeta.pl is a polish portal so the registration is in polish language. Still you can set the gmail

Recently I encountered a problem with my desktop computer running Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon.After some time network would die and the only way to bring it back was to restart the computer.Nothing worked:NetworkManagersudo /etc/init.d/networking restartreloading kernel modulesLooking into the /var/syslog I found this:Dec 7 08:09:36 moonbiter kernel: [ 3751.383550] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit

I promised to present how to sniff communication between clients and server of Google Desktop for Linux.So I'll be using SockSniffer scripts I prepared and wrote about [1], [2].$ tar xvzf SockSniffer.0.2.tar.gz$ mkdir jail$ cd jail$ $HOME/SockSniffer.0.2/makejail.sh$ sudo $HOME/SockSniffer.0.2/mountjail.sh$ sudo chroot $PWD$ su my_user_name$ cd$ gdlinuxNo we should have two Google Desktop icons

New version of SockSniffer (v0.2):makejail.sh and mountjail.sh scripts added.These scripts are used to prepare chroot jail for client to be sniffed.They are prepared with GoogleDesktop in mind.Added some comments in the code.The socksniff script was corrected: The -n option didn't work for server traffic.SockSniffer.0.2.tar.gz

There are a lot of tools for peeking into communication that is performed using the network sockets:wiresharktcpdumpsnortto just name a few.But I didn't find any program that could perform this treat for the unix sockets. I found only one comment on some mailing list that someone hacked the Linux kernel to perform this (most probably altered the read syscall) but no code whatsoever.I didn't want

I recently bought an used PlayStation 2 console.I must say that for a device that was designed over 7 years ago it has still astonishing graphics. And now can be bought very cheap :-D.Of course I bought Final Fantasy X - to have finally a PS2 and to not play in one (actually all ;-) ) of the FFs would be a sin :-D.In FFX characters are advanced by spending Ability Points and various spheres on a

There is a lot of stuff about this.But of course none worked for me :-D.So I decided to post a solution that worked ;-). Boot with any live CD (I've done it with Knoppix 3.x and Ubuntu)Prepare directory for mounting:$ sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntuMount the root (/) partition of ubuntu e.g.:$ sudo mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/ubuntuMount proc and dev filesystems on mounted partition:$ mount -o bind /dev /mnt/

Today UEFA announced that UEFA Euro 2012 championships will be organized by Poland and Ukraine.I must admit that I was quite sure that the winner will be Italy. Actually I was not alone, lots of people here in Poland didn't believe that we could win.BUT WE WON!!!GO POLAND AND UKRAINE!!!Here is a link to official site of the organizers.

Recently we bought a Moka Express pot.I must admit that it brews the best coffee I tasted at home. It's very easy to operate and hopefully to clean ;-). Brewing is also quite quick :-DOur pot is actually a cheep imitation of the original "Alfonso Bialetti's Moka Express". Here's how it looks:

On 14 of April 2007 I got married :-D.My wife's name is Katarzyna (Cathrine) but everybody calls her Kasia.We are a couple for five and a half years now.We studied together Physics on Warsaw Technical University.The wedding went marvelous. We arrived in stylish white "Warszawa"[pl] (which is actually licensed Pobeda) . We had beautiful weather - it was sunny and warm but not hot. Cathy looked

As many people already noticed NetworManager uses gnome-keyring to store password for different wireless networks. This is already true for Dapper Drake.In Edgy and Feisty more and more programs start to use gnome-keyring for the same purpose. To name a few: Evolution, Gajim.This is quite annoying because one has to unlock the keyring database every time one logs in. On my desktop with freshly

Yesterday I've updated OS on my desktop computer.It's quite old PIII celeron 800MHz with nvidia geforce MX2. OS installed was Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake. Install was almost clean one, with minor tweeking (installed acrobat reader, SUN java, mplayer and few other packages).I've followed several guides. For pre-upgrade instructions I went with this one: before-upgrading-to-edgyFor installation I

For some time now I've been playing with Google Calendar.As other google products it has nice very intuitive interface, and of course is still in BETA ;).At first I've found this calendar to be not very useful, apart from it's notification feature. Unfortunately for it to work your web browser must be running and you have to be logged onto google calendar. Moreover it's not very visible...

Today I decided to dust my blogger account. When I created it I was simply reviewing options...At that time I found blogger very interesting but it lacked several options I needed, most of all:Restricting access to my postings (Actually it was possible - as blogger supported hosting blogs on other servers. If one happened to have access to www server and possibility there to restrict access, this
