WordPress Update

admin — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 12:17:09 +0000

It seems I go through this every year at around this time. Even if it would be better to do it every time a new version comes out.

Unfortunately real-life keeps interfering with my plans

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

samba guest user

madeye — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 19:58:50 +0000

I ran across a mailinglist with a post about the “map to guest” parameter. It describes it rather well.

====

samba defaults to “never” which the developers believe is a good idea.
however, i believe the default for NT4 is “Bad Password”. would it not
make more sense to make the default the same as NT4 as most of the other
options do?

default as 'Never': 
1) non-domain user cannot see samba
2) domain user, wrong passwd cannot see samba
3) domain user, correct passwd can see samba, access shares

'Bad User':
1) non-domain user sees samba, prompted for passwd on share access
2) domain user, wrong passwd cannot see samba
3) domain user, correct passwd can see samba, access shares

'Bad Password':
1) non-domain user sees samba, prompted for passwd on share access
2) domain user, wrong passwd sees samba, prompted for passwd on share
access
3) domain user, correct passwd sees samba, access shares

Barcode Emulator

Born out of curiosity and having the need for a handheld unit capable of transmitting an emulated barcode via RS232 I dove into this little project.

If you need barcode functionality for some equipment, but don’t want to or have the possibility to use a barcode scanner, then this might be something for you.

Dead links

Man that’s annoying. I restructured some parts of the site a while ago, and missed that I made a bunch of dead links in the process.
Thanks to tygatur for pointing it out to me.

Electronic section added

madeye — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:04:10 +0000

I added a section to include my electronic projects. These are small circuits I build when I find a thing that annoys me, and need a solution.
The first project is a small delay circuit I use in conjunction with my car alarm. It can be found here
