OpenVPN Linux + Mac howto
A short howto, as I was unable to find any clear ones on the net. I’m using Mac OS X (Leopard) as client, and a Gentoo server as server/host. I both tried Viscosity and Tunnelblick on my Mac as OpenVPN software, and Viscosity is probably somewhat easier to configure (using the GUI), it was shareware.…

Imap/Gmail mark as read
I’ve “updated” my previous php-app. Since today I ended up getting this error: Warning: imap_open(): Couldn’t open stream {imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}[Google Mail]/Spam in /home/yeri/.gmail.php on line 30 Certificate failure for imap.gmail.com: unable to get local issuer certificate: /C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=imap.gmail.com – Connection failed. Simply searching this line: $open = imap_open (“{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/}$path” And editing it to: $open =…

Gmail automatic “mark (spam) as read”
I hate having unread mail. I hate having spam. And most of all, I hate spam that asks for attention. When receiving spam in Gmail, you get the annoying bold Spam (12353434) with ‘12353434’ being the number of unread spam messages. With the introduction of Gmail Labs I’d hope to see an “automaticly mark spam…

3G Networking
Found a really cool blog post on Twitter yesterday night; really worth the time to read and to understand how 3G is actually working.

Philips Network Hard Disk
I’ve got myself a cheap 500GB network hard disk. Been testing it, and seems to be working fine! It’s rather fast (it has a SATA2 disk in it) and it was really easy to set up. But I’m missing a few things; Impossible to format/check the disk for errors from the web interface Impossible to…

Fon’s hangin’
Yes yes, it has received a fixed place in our family. All I need now are a few people to come by and test it; I wonder what the range is like. The only thing I don’t really like is the “Watch our ad and get 15 mins free inet (daily)”. Ad? Watch? Oh come…

Console Hamachi
I wrote before, that the console version of Hamachi didn’t seem to generate tun/tap driver errors. But after rebooting my Mac I was no longer able to start Hamachi. Nazgul:hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-osx yeri$ ./hamachi start 25 19:08:15.659 [ 0] [14306] tap: connect() failed 2 (No such file or directory) So I guess I’ll have to wait for…

SMTP-server list
Whilst on the move, it’s always handy to be able to send e-mails. Most providers tend to block all SMTP-servers, besides their own. Quite unhandy if you’re on a FON (or… well… open & unsecure) WiFi network. Here‘s a list with all mayor Dutch & Belgian ISPs their SMTP-servers.

Fon
My Fon box arrived today! Ordered it last Saturday (09/02), took just over a week to be delivered (by UPS). I bought “La Fonera” with a “Fontenna” for just over 6 (!) EUR. Fon’s having this cool promotion that La Fonera only costs around 4 EUR, and if you order a Fontenna with it, you…
