open your eyes, open your mind
lion is a bit picky about where it’s timecapsules could be buried. at least if u don’t want to loose uptime. there are some “default write commands” and u could play with the DHCAST128 settings, but as i’ve figured out, free-nas afp shares are working like a charm.
let’s start time traveling …
create a shell script (for example in ~/Scripts) name it foo.command instead of foo.sh put your contents in, and use spotlight to find and open it.
for example start a remote streaming server via ssh and launch vlc to view the stream:
|
1 2 3 4 |
#!/bin/sh
ssh root@stream.example.org"/etc/init.d/streaming start"
sleep 1
open -a VLC --args http://stream.example.org:8080/stream/1 |
i’ve gathered together my ssh stuff for windows and linux, in one dir/zip file, here is a list of the contents
scuq-ssh-pack
-lin
--.ssh
--id_rsa
--id_rsa.pub
-my-ssh-installer.bat
-my-ssh-installer.sh
-win
--pageant.exe
--pscp.exe
--putty.exe
--puttygen.exe
--putty-template.reg
--scuq.ppk
--sessions.reg
3 directories, 12 files
my-ssh-installer.bat (horrible)
my-ssh-installer.sh (horrible too)
I’ve written this little script for xbmc, to switch between audio sources (creative xfi/nvidia hdmi/and both of them combined).

If you have an password protected pfx-file and you need a x509-certificate and an unprotected key-file you can convert it with these openssl commands
Certificate:
openssl pkcs12 -in star_example.org.pfx -out star_example.org.cert -nokeys -clcerts
Key:
openssl pkcs12 -in star_example.org.pfx -out star_example.org_with-password.key -nocerts
openssl rsa -in star_example.org_with-password.key -out star_example.org.key

I’ve created a syslog-client out of some code I’ve found with google. this client is able to send a syslog message to a remote syslog server, it’s designed for logging an startup/logon/logout/shutdown event of a windows client machine (tested on xp@32bit, 7@32bit and 7@64bit) but you can send any string with a max. length of 25.
The default syslogserver is set to sslog not full qualified, so if you are able to set an dns cname alias to sslog for your central syslogserver the parameters which are needed to be passed are very small indeed.
e.g. logon event logging:
sslog -e LOGIN
you can also download the code and the binary at google code (http://code.google.com/p/sslog/).
feel free to submit patches.
… runs on the cuberevo mini, it’s a little bit buggy but that is ok for the version 0.3. the funny thing about it is the the first suggested language is bavarian.
As I’ve mentioned in the previous post, the AAF image is really nice, the picture quality is amazing with the default (not very good adjusted) tv settings of my toshiba 37Z3030D.
But after zapping arround we experienced freezes on SD channels, the time had come to get my by eye alignment of the dish fixed. But the things got worse, no chance to get the percent measurement scale of the enigma2 software over a stable 60 value on all channels.
After a complete relocation of the dish and after destroying one aluminium dish mount arm. (by squeezing it while angrily tighten the screws), the values on the new location where still unstable. The next source of trouble assumed, was the coax cable with the f-plug connectors. after hours of stripping with the wrong tools (a cutter, rusty pliers and a pair of scissors) the cable tails were fitting perfectly in the f-plugs, where they got stuck with an ultra sticky tape.
However, the problem persists.
After another google session, I found an explanation of the problem, on the italian forum of the sif-team, the guy who wrote the tuner driver writes:
…
That’s doesn’t mean it is a sharp tuner bug, it exists since the first version of enigma2 and it’s called: BUGGETTONE.
Holy shit, i’m really bored to say this every time! IT IS A GENERAL BUG, COMMON TO EVERY RECEIVER AND EVERY TUNER on cuberevo boxes!
When and only when i will find the bug you will see it fixed… all of you are going to make me angry!
…
The bug description by someone who made him angry
…
When switching from a dvb-s to dvb-s2 transponders no problems, but when switching from a dvb-s2 to dvb-s transponder instability occurs in the signal quality and micro friizing. At switch off the receiver in standby mode and switch on again the problem disappears.
…
At least my satellite equipment is clean and well aligned now.
