An article on the 3D web

This article is already a week old and probably has been slashdotted, digged, and whatever other verbs comprise the act of many people hitting some news site and all of them simultaneously pummeling the original story site. The small gathering of invitees (of which I’m never one) get together and talk about the paths one […]

It is now the middle of 2006 with no drivers showing up in site. And just for note, the drivers don’t work properly under Tiger. Double-sided […]

How NOT to design an embedded NTP Client

A number of D-Link products, so far I have at least identified DI-604, DI-614+, DI-624, DI-754, DI-764, DI-774, DI-784, VDI604 and VDI624, contain a list of NTP servers in their firmware and using some sort of algorithm, they pick one and send packets to it. … The correct way, as I have pointed out to […]

Migrating a Thunderbird Profile from Windows XP to Linux

I decided to move my emailing activities from XP to Linux for *mumble mumble* reasons. I thought it would be a rather simple operation of dump the data files in the right place and be done with it but there are some small things to keep in mind when doing the move. Here’s my diary […]

A most excellent presentation on projections

Happy New Year’s and all that. To kick off the New Year’s I give you a link from Remote Sensing about map projections.
