Been a while since I’ve been back and yes, I’ve been slacking to post it on my blog. ;) But here goes…

Shell(s) for my Great Firewall Checker

· linux, networking, software, www

As my last shell has been disconnected in China (not because I was probing websites, but because the building the Guruplug was in got closed) I’m looking for shells. Linux or Unix. With Git installed. I’ll barely use any disk space and it will probe the websites at most once/day (at night, when you won’t notice it).

And not just China, but any country where they tend to censor certain websites.

Data roaming

· google, networking, software, travel

I bricked my Nexus S yesterday, while trying to root it (with an howto for an old Android version). As usual I was trying to do too much stuff with too little time (as I had to catch my plane later that evening).

I had to root it to get OpenVPN, ssh tunnel, or system wide proxies up and running. Things I needed to by-pass the Great Firewall in China on my mobile.
