Sausage time

· misc

Sales of a certain snack sausage are reportedly up 40% in South Korea thanks to the iPhone.

In the cold of winter, South Koreans are using the sausages as styluses instead of taking off their gloves.

Me be leavin' for Beijing!

· travel

Today, I'm leaving for Beijing, China for a whole month as part of my internship at KdG. Wish me luck. ;)

Tons of pics will be posted on Flickr.

I'm not entirely sure what sites and services will be blocked (yay for the Great Chinese Firewall), but my VPN tunnel should do the trick. Hopefully. And I'm still reachable through e-mail.

Bubye x!

Xen: iptables issue

· linux, software, virtualisation

vm3:/# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 85.12.6.173:8180
WARNING: Could not open 'kernel/net/netfilter/x_tables.ko': No such file or directory
FATAL: Could not open 'kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko': No such file or directory
iptables v1.4.2: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Solution:

vm3:/# depmod
vm3:/# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 85.12.6.173:8180

All ok :)
