Radio Waves
After numerous months saying I’d buy them, I finally bought some meticiously planned and researched hardware. On Friday, I bought a Cadmus USB Bluetooth adaptor for a mere €49 in Maplin. It’s great, my desktop now has basic Bluetooth connectivity, which will let me do all sorts of cool things, like control XMMS using my T610 within a 100m thanks to this guy. 
It wasn’t even too hard to setup, since it’s a CSR based device, It has BlueZ support, which meant all I had to do was:
- select some basic Bluetooth drivers in my 2.6.1 kernel
- recompile my kernel
- apt-get install the BlueZ packages (since I use Debian)
- reboot the new kernel and away I went…
The other piece of hardware I bought this afternoon, was the long sought after hardware solution to solve my IPv6 tunnelling woes. I should have a nice Speedtouch USB 330 in or around the 15th, since I had to organise a snail mail proxy to order them from a site that only delivers to the UK. :-/
It also looks like MyDoom has succeeded in taking down www.sco.com but not www.microsoft.com already. Not too bad, for the worst virus ever. Ah, well, let’s give it a few more hours with Microsoft… 
I’m just glad I decided to stop using Windows.

That’s good shit.\n\nNow to buy a bluemolared phone and get it working with OSX.
Dave, this one is better I think\n\nhttp://news.netcraft.com/archives/2004/01/30/wwwscocom_is_a_weapon_of_mass_destruction.html\n\n\nIt also appears SCO were clever. http://www.sco.com is down, but http://sco.com isn’t, so it looks like they just disabled http://www.sco.com for a while in DNS…
