hellahella doesn’t like python2.5

So set the systemwide python to be python2.4.

This is a note to self when everything else breaks from using the old version.

cd /usr/bin
sudo rm python
sudo ln -s python2.4 ./python

EDIT: That fraked all sorts of things. Looks like hellanzb from the cli for now.

Flickr plugin - Headshot

A flickr plugin. This is me in Sydney 2000. I just really like the shot. Skinny happy and tanned wearing a ‘wifebeater‘ on the madman. Happy days.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

So new house only has phone line in the kitchen. Solution: WDS using Tomato of course.

So now I have one wrt54g connecting to the net in PPPOE Bridge mode with a billion modem (meh, average modems).

And one wrt54g in my office that acts as an extension of the main one. So plug that into a switch and all the computers here in the office can connect via ethernet.

One more for the lounge and the movie/music server and I’m sorted.

Share folders via Samba without a password

The important bit is ‘force user’ and ‘force group’ otherwise your local user won’t have permissions to the shared directory.

sudo apt-get install samba

/etc/samba/smb.conf

Changes:

security = share

guest account = nobody

[stuff]
writeable = yes
path = /stuff
public = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = nobody
force user = gyaresu
force group = users
browsable = yes

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
