Some thoughts for today...

fingerworks http://www.fingerworks.com has apparently gone down the tubes, so your opportunity to a get a wierd shaped smooth keyboard that's somewhat hard to use has diminished slightly. I'll post a picture of the one we have laying around sometime. After a couple days of using it my input speed never really improved so I gave up on it, but being able to use to mouse dirctly from the keyboard was pretty novel and performance enhancing, sort of like using a vary large touch pad except without have to change your hand position.

An iptables primer that I should probably spend more time with is here:
http://www.spotswood-computer.net/present/iptables2.html

I finally noticed that a new version of the BigSister monitoring daemon was released last month so I spent a couple hours this morning (wakeful at 0300 is not healthy), upgrading ours and hacking on it for a little while since it had grown some serious cruft since the last time I touched it. I'm still having problem with ranges on the thing with certain stats, interfaces and counters, servers are not supposed to be 400% idle nor is it possible to utilize a gigabit ethernet to 647% of it's capacity.

Some links about the Nokia 770

When I first heard about this thing I was slightly less than enthused. Now I'm not sure. As a Zaurus owner, I'd like linux pda's to work, it was just that with the Zaurus I spent more time noodling with it as a linux box then I did with it as a pda.

For me the compeling pda was actually the palm IIIx, long battery life, and not too functional, everytime I get something more functional I get frustrated when the input methods aren't good enough or it ends up being less than a general purpose computer. The hp winCE 1.0 device, the palm, the clie, the other clie, the zaurus, not one of them really lived up to the promise... The palm at least lived up to it's potential, which was limited.

anyway:

fedora core 4, disk hangs on resume from apci s3 sleep (fwd)

Subject: fedora core 4, disk hangs on resume from apci s3 sleep

I'm almost at the point where I can get acpi sleep to work on the dell inspiron
6000.

If I unload usb, (ehci uchi) the bluetooth modules, (which depend on usb) and
the ipw2200 module (for the 2915 wireless chipset). then "echo -n "mem" >
/sys/power/state causes the thing sleeps cleanly. When the power button is
pressed, the display, and interactive processes come back, but the disk light
stays solid... eventually the console displays "localhost journal commit I/O
error".

the disk in this laptop isn't sata as far as I can tell.
