more MVNO!? So many prepaid cellular dealshrm. can't wait to get home and see what this 'StraightTalk' (by Tracfone) is about. Tracfone, from my previous research, used AT&T or Verizon depending on the area you register it with. StraightTalk seems to resell Verizon just like pageplus... at least in summerville... i thought i checked Tracfone back in the day and they offered GSM phones (Guess AT&T costed them less) weird! so many new "virtual" providers now with this $40-50 sweet spot. :) thing bout StraightTalk is it's $5 more but no limit on DATA!?!? omg! Wonder if I can activate a phone that I don't buy from them!?!$@#$<br /><br />the other was "OMG! Simple Mobile" which uses T-mobile's fairly decent network and equipment. this is great because it's so simple to just throw a SIM card into a older GSM phone et voila! they also hit that $45 sweet spot with unlimited talk/text, but if you want data it's $50 and it only gets you 20MB a month. Page Plus does that for $39.95 on a larger network. sorry, fail. :)<br /><br />So yeah, I'm very interested in looking into this 'StraightTalk' I wonder if plugging in a Verizon phone ESN into the website activation will work? :)scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-66668830932938954982010-01-11T01:38:00.002-05:002010-01-11T01:46:15.481-05:00T-Mobile @AntarcticaI should of done this from the get-go. My mom mailed me my Nokia 6301 so I could use it on my return trip (hopefully over WiFi to avoid international roaming, or unlocked with a New Zealand SIM), but without my SIM. I got it today. So I can definitely text from my room now hah.<br /><br />Nokia 6301 is a "T-Mobile @Home" phone or @Hotspot whatever the hell they call it now... It uses UMA over WiFi. I have dial-up on a desktop that feeds my wifi router (adhoc may work too but this is less trouble eh -- maybe I'll confirm that later). So basically, Nokia 6301 -> Linksys WRT54g -> Desktop -> Dialup -> Microwave link to satellite uplink -> Denver, CO. hah. Amazingly the GSM codec ALMOST works over dial-up. I called my voicemail and heard it fine but I think it has difficulties hearing me.. Obviously 56k dial-up is asynchronous, with like 50k down 33k up?<br /><br />So yeah, I'm a bit excited. Just received my first text in Antarctica.. w00t.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-7174439628135320752009-12-07T16:10:00.002-05:002009-12-07T16:16:41.081-05:00ipod touch iscsi target ? no wai!I looked into iscsi targets that don't need anything changed in the kernel before, because I wanted to try one out over the internets using my vps... Well that one didn't work on the ipod touch. iPod touch isn't an intel x86 cpu neither. Too much linux stuff involved. NetBSD is very portable stuff, right? Of course.<br /><br />netbsd's iscsi target compiled with some warnings about implicit definitions of some crap but woohoo it ran just fine. hah. i got that 100MB disk exported right now. So my t5510 is setup to netboot from iSCSI and basically, if I wanted, it could be my iPod touch serving up the Windows XP disk. That'd trash a flash drive tho, so I'm also going to play with EWF (Enhanced Write Filter?) again. Fun.<br /><br />So many fun programs and projects keeping me busy in Antarctica, even tho they're overall very ... not useful, they are (re)teaching me a bunch.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-48751848564452193582009-12-05T05:44:00.003-05:002009-12-05T06:01:27.512-05:00Rambling about HP t5510 t5515 Thin Client, USB Boot, Windows XP Embedded, and Slax linuxI tried this before with all kinds of problems messing with booting a USB drive... Tried the reinstall image offered by HP and it had problems booting the FreeDOS kernel. I got a newer kernel and saw... omg, what the HELL kind of drive geometry is it giving my 512MB usb stick? fdisk did as old freedos kernel did - "Divide by zero" error. It set it as like 4000-ish Cyl, and 1sec/trk..!? So thats why USB booting sucked.. My 8GB one got something a weee more standard but still weird, it would always eventually boot..<br /><br />So ANYWAY. I tried lots of things, Linux always ran EXCELLENT with syslinux in the MBR (not in the volume boot records tho, of course). Problem is CHS address 0/1/1 on one PC ended up different than on this one, always. So I could mess with partition tables and get stuff working, or ...<br /><br />DOWNGRADE TO BIOS 1.04 OR OLDER. Reading the release notes, they "increased BIOS compatibility with USB devices" in v1.05. I've not rechecked what my drive is reported as yet, but my 512MB actually booted BartPE ... [note: edit later if this is true or not hah]<br /><br />So I grabbed the Windows XP Embedded system from a HP t5700-something. Removed the first 0x200 bytes, and it's a NTFS disk image of a 256MB drive. Write to USB flash, and it'll start to boot. <br /><br />Of course you can see I've great interest and success at booting XP installs from USB when they're not suppose to... but XPe made for a different machine is, wow, tough. The usual registry edits don't do it. It loads the USB drivers, but still the infamous STOP 7B blue screen.<br /><br />Why? The whole SYSTEM hive is from a t5710 (or whatever it was) and uses different USB controllers is my guess... I tried basically manually changing the USB hardware in the registry to make sure it knew about the t5510's USB stuff... That wasn't enough. I merged the registry from BartPE and the t5710, that didn't work either.. DAMMIT.<br /><br />Well, if you still want to run XP on your t5510, you can of course. There's a nice popular torrent out there called Micro XP by eXperience that should work fine for you. You'd still have to add EWF filters yourself to fix slow write times if using a USB flash. I imagine it'd run aight. My t5510 has 256MB of RAM. yours might not, not sure if I upgraded it or not.<br /><br />The CPU is 800MHz, but don't let that confuse you. It's no intel nor desktop chip. USB I believe is super-slow 1.1 (not confirmed, this isn't my only thin client and I get confused). I may be wrong, but a good idea if you can is network booting. use/google gPXE and try booting XP over the LAN from a SAN service (theres free ones for Windows even). Booting over 100Mbps LAN is MUCH better than using USB!! Of course, best solution is a small laptop drive and 44pin IDE cable & velcro it in there haha! :)<br /><br />Slax runs decent yo.

But I got a Windows 7 Ultimate ISO with me. I installed the Ultimate easily to USB using VHD, but no need for this, nor ghost. I have Windows XP already on my EEEPC internal lil 4g solid state drive. yippeee.<br /><br />ImageX works with the install.wim inside the Windows 7 ISO. You can find it and the directions I followed <a href="http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/7943-install-windows-7-fast-without-dvd-usb-device.html">here</a>.<br /><br />So I got the ISO on the internets, extracted it, with lovely free 7-zip, to a fresh NTFS formatted USB hard drive, and ran imagex. I edited the ei.cfg thinking it'd install professional, oops. Of course it didn't. The setup program reads ei.cfg, imagex looks at 'image index' which those instructions just gave the number 5. Index 4 is for professional. If you want to know the rest, <span style="font-weight:bold;">imagex /info install.wim</span> and look through that. In mine, 1=Starter, 2=HomeBasic, 3=HomePremium, 4=Professional, 5=Ultimate.<br /><br />I already had the BCD boot loader installed, but that shouldn't be too tough to figure out.<br /><br />Okay, so all the files are on the USB drive, but it won't boot USB just yet. Either edit the \windows\system32\config\SYSTEM hive in regedit to change USB services to start at boot-time, or use UsbBootWatcher that someone made <a href="http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=22473">here</a>.<br /><br />After setup does its thing and reboots, you need to go back into XP and run it again tho, because setup will hose what UsbBootWatcher did. It shouldn't mess up again tho.<br /><br />A Voila. Got Windows 7 Pro legit on my netbook, without use of any of my usual hacker resources (broadband internet, bittorrent, ghost, cdrom, etc) hah. Easiest method yet! :)scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-35371496567133053802009-08-24T07:03:00.003-04:002009-08-24T07:09:21.832-04:00T-Mobile 3G in Charleston, SCPreliminary speed test, 3G came online this AM.

I changed the registry keys like the manual method for XP after install (pre-install is .inf edits) and no joy. Might have been a CPU error, and may have worked otherwise, but I re-tried as follows.<br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />VMWare Player<br />Windows 7 Beta DVD<br />Toshiba 250G External HDD<br />vdk (to mount vmdk image)<br />Drive Snapshot<br />usb_boot<br /><br />I hope to edit this later, but basically, install Windows onto a virtual harddrive in VMware, mount with vdk in host os (my host was XP), Drive Snapshot it to file, Write that file to your USB device, and then use usb_boot (Does all those crazy registry edits for you with a batch file).<br /><br />Also had to install the bootmgr manually, which you just run bcdedit or bcdconf or something like that. You can run it from your host OS once you mount the image.<br /><br />If anyone reads this and I haven't updated yet and you want the details, please, leave a comment.<br /><br />How well does it run? Ah, it's 667MHz what do you expect? I'm still waiting for my Windows Experience Index to calculate, it's taking awhile! :) I have bluetooth for module internets and haven't messed with anything, it's usable. You can go to classic theme to get lots of speed back, as well as turning off other eye candy and wallpapers, which I plan to do if I use it. It's more of a show-off, "Look what I can do" for now. I've never used anything newer than XP before so it's something new to toy with.<br /><br />Not sure if it'll do this with a normal shutdown, but those registry keys seem to get overwritten sometimes and I'll have to re-run the usb_boot.cmd from XP to get back into Vista. XP never broke it's registry keys after I changed them... Might have been improper shutdown, only did 2 so far.. The usb_boot deal I found is suppose to run a service which fixes the registry keys periodically or something, so more on that later as well.<br /><br />Well, it's running from USB and it's been stuck on Assessing Disk Performance for a bit!<br /><br />Finally, scores--<br /><br />Processor: 1.1 (wow, .1 above expected lol)<br />RAM: 2.0<br />Graphics: 1.0<br />Gaming Graphics: 1.0<br />Primary hard disk: 2.9 (wow again, 1.9 above expected)<br /><br />oops, NOTE- Graphics drivers weren't installed yet. Standard VGA still...

(slow 8hr+ install time)So it takes 30min to install the first DVD, and 30min for the Burning Crusade expansion. Then, you have to download about 6 patches. These total about 1.5G themselves, and I've no access to setup port forwarding so the Peer-to-Peer in Blizzards Downloader doesn't help at all! I upload a little bit, and get nothing. I get 64KB/s from the HTTP connection. You can't set it and forget it, you have to click OK at the end of each patch. You have to install each individual patch released since the DVDs were made. They should roll it up into 1 patch. I wonder how many updates were useless in between patches. I believe it was quicker when I just downloaded the client straight from blizzard. I reinstalled Windows and bought the retail version on the same day. The 6.5GB download took about as long as the DVD install plus patches I bet! These DVDs are useless, but maybe the books will prove useful.<br /><br />Seriously, blizzard. Why can't you make this ONE patch download, or a "set it and forget it," and allow multiple HTTP connections?? I did opt to get the 850MB patch manually from a mirror, luckily. I got 500KB/s from them, and 64KB/s from you ... ugh.<br /><br />So it's all ready to go and servers are down for maint for two more hours, then they extend it another two hours. Waste of a day -- I actually scheduled playing time in to my day today but looks like I'll have to wait another day. At $15/m to play, that's $0.50 wasted. I want a refund!! :)scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-64588611283768792882008-11-05T09:43:00.001-05:002008-11-05T09:51:03.309-05:00yesstunnel 4.26 on windows mobile or smartphone [any ARM windows ce 3 or better]I wanted to try stunnel on my cell phone. Not sure why, the real prize would be dynamic ssh tunnels, but I did. The binary available is stunnel-4.15-arm. Works okay, came with an old openssl-0.9.8a, but did not work when using a proxy. So I went through all the crap of downloading the obsoleted development tools it suggested and made my own! i'll post binaries later if anyone is interested. i really really wish i could figure out windows api stuff because i'd love for it to work on smartphone better. it never shows a window and goes into my taskbar (which is useless - can't click it!) so i use the tstunnel.exe which has no gui, and also harder to kill the process since my task manager will only kill applications rather than processes (i'm replacing it as we speak :).
<br />
<br />So when I get home from work I'll attach stunnel-4.26 with openssl-0.9.8i (Sep 15 2008) compiled for Windows CE 3.0 ARM processors.
<br />
<br />PS. If anyone wants to hack up gui.c for Smartphone I'd love you forever. :)scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-88063416249576799432008-09-10T16:11:00.004-04:002008-09-10T16:38:42.991-04:00Another XBOX Repair: Failed Hard drive and seemingly failed DVDMy son noticed a neighbor was throwing away an xbox and shouted to me, "Daddy, he's throwing away an xbox," all the way across the courtyard and in the house I heard him. He's a loud 7 year old ;)<br /><br />The neighbor said yeah it's broke. It stopped reading some games and then wouldn't start at all. It says to call customer service. He was kind enough to go inside and grab the video/power cables and let me have it, free. My son then followed him to his jeep and asked if he had controllers, because we'll need them once his dad fixes it.<br /><br />It took more time than it should've -- Probably 8 hours of mucking around total. The first day I messed with it was useless. MechAssault didn't run. I thought an error 16 shouldn't stop that -- so I cleaned the optics on the DVD-ROM. Still no-go. So I move on and tried to run xboxhdm inside of qemu using a USB->IDE adapter with my laptop. Obviously the hdd had bad sectors, but I didn't put 2-and-2 together when I was getting "Read-only filesystem errors" that this was probably due to qemu, and the usual error would've been something in dmesg about bad sectors... ugh. I pulled out an old 40gig disk I had and started on that. But how to lock it?<br /><br />So that night I borrowed a desktop PC from the junk closet at work, heh, and tried for an hour like that on the original disk. I was hoping eventually the files would be stored in a non-bad area just enough to get it to boot and get the EEPROM contents. Why'd I bother? I don't care to start building circuits, I haven't the tools, just a cheap 15W iron from RadioShack that isn't quite warm enough for most things... Well, I should've just went straight to building that EEPROM reader, cos it makes more sense and ended up taking not so long. Went rather well once I was able to get pins 1+6 from that DB-9 cable from being soldered together... =\<br /><br /><a href="http://www.llamma.com/xbox/Repairs/Reading_Xbox_Hdd_key.htm">Here is how</a> and <a href="http://mail.exis.net/blogs/dirkus/item_77.htm">here is another</a> with comments. I spent $2.39 I believe at RadioShack, I only had $2.99 to my name. lol. I got a 4pk of 3.9kohm resistors, and the 5.1V zener diodes. Cut a cheaply made serial cable I use for firmware updates to my FTA satellite reciever (Don't worry, I have a better cable to replace it) for the DB-9 connector, and soldered the 2 points to the LPC connector and the rest was just quickly twisted together. The XBOX did not like this contraption. It turned blinking orange and rebooted but somewhere in there I was able to read this EEPROM onto my laptop with a Prolific USB->RS-232 adapter! <br /><br />Okay, I kept the wires soldered on but disconnected the other ends from the zener/diode circuit just in case it wasn't a full dump. The last half was all FF's.. Didn't look nearly as populated as the example. So the XBOX kept doing the orange blinking LED / reboot deal! OMG I was able to panic. The comment poster on the second link said if it reboots rather than displays an error then you totally screwed something up! I was scared that I accidently overwrote the EEPROM with random shit. Went ahead and pulled the two wires, maybe the extra capacitance or something was messing up the signalling... It worked!<br /><br />So having no desire to move shit around to get this file onto the desktop somehow, I sent the eeprom.bin to my FTP server, ran xboxhdm again on the borrowed desktop (it does dhcp!) and downloaded that file and locked the 40gig. Success! It didn't boot straight into a dashboard though, I got some other screen... I'm like -- what the hell -- it was MechAssault! Ha. That DVD-ROM does work. Even better :)<br /><br />I now own 3 XBOX's. The first is softmod 120gig (long long ago), second is just softmod with MechAssault (never opened!!!), and this one which'll hold a few games on the disk, which is great since the kids scratch the DVD's very often and they left that 120gig one at grandma's during summer vacation -- 500 miles away. :(<br /><br />Now populating the hdd is another story. Got excellent signal, but like 150KB/s transfer (across wifi), so ... UnleashX never seemed to be fast at FTP for me. Oh well.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-67322531705956756302008-09-07T17:54:00.004-04:002008-09-10T16:10:44.947-04:00Samsung YP-U2J and Windows 2000This mp3 player is old.

Here it is --<br /><br /><a href="http://scottn.us/chrome1583.zip">chrome1583.zip</a>scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-27216686309697216322008-09-04T12:36:00.003-04:002008-09-04T12:57:48.495-04:00Google Chrome on Windows 2000 / Asus Eee PCJapanese people are amazingly smart. I was able to change my user-agent as one blog suggested to download the Google Chrome setup, but it wouldn't run... So I downloaded the files in a zip. It warned about Windows 2000 not being supported, started like it was going to do something and had one of them fatal errors. Why bother trying the next approach then...? Because I tried the browser and like it. It is faster, and any gain in speed on an EeePC is much apprechiated!<br /><br />* <a href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/139405.html">Original blog</a> in Japanese<br />* <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/139405.html&hl=en&langpair=ja|en&tbb=1&ie=euc-jp">Google Translation</a> of said blog.<br />* Local copy: <a href="http://scottn.us/chrome2k.zip">chrome2k.zip</a><br /><br />Download the chrome2k.zip file. I didn't run the bat, because I was already able to grab the chrome setup file with the user-agent changed in Firefox, but this is what it does:<br /><blockquote>copy "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\IEXP.exe"<br />regedit /s chrome2k.reg<br />"%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\IEXP.exe" http://www.google.co.jp/chrome</blockquote><br />That .reg that comes with it changes a registry value (ApplicationGoo) which comes up with very little information on Google. It has to do with Application Compatibility, and from the poorly translated site, it basically just makes the following applications think they're being ran under XP: IEXP.EXE, ChromeSetup.exe, chrome_installer.exe, GoogleUpdate.exe, setup.exe.<br /><br />Might be neat to keep the copy of IEXP set for XP compat. :)<br /><br />So anyway. It works! Not sure why the nightly build didn't work. This only changed the setup files to think it was XP... Then again, I didn't try the nightly build on XP either yet. :)<br /><br />The Asus Eee PC I have runs at like 650MHz, and Firefox is much faster than IE at big web applications like <a href="http://meebo.com">meebo</a> (my benchmark). With Google Chrome, meebo runs without any hesitation, as when using Firefox on my other older laptop (1ghz XP machine). So yeah, I'm making the switch on both computers. Sorry, Firefox. :(scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-59028103031569703012008-09-04T10:02:00.000-04:002008-09-04T12:55:50.524-04:00The Nokia 6086 can run Google Mobile Maps!T-mobile US highly restricts java applications, especially on their Nokia handsets. With my previous phone, the Nokia 6133, you could flash to an unbranded firmware and run anything. It was great. But now I have a Nokia 6086 ...<br /><br />The Nokia 6086 has many certificates installed on it. Go to <span style="font-weight:bold;">Menu > Settings > Security > Authority certificates > Certificate list</span> to view them.<br /><br />One certificate of interest is GeoTrust CA for UTI. UTI is Unified Testing Initiative, or <a href="http://www.javaverified.com/">Java Verified</a>. This is the certificate real applications will get, such as Google Mobile Maps. <br /><br />If you visit http://m.google.com/gmm you'll be presented with a download link, and then a popup saying something about the application not being trusted. Do not download, but instead clear your cache with <span style="font-weight:bold;">Options > Other Options > Clear the cache</span>. Then <span style="font-weight:bold;">Options > Reload</span>. Repeat until the download does not warn about the application being from an untrusted source. I was told you may have to try "like 18 times" but I believe that since I cleared my cache, it worked the 1st reload.<br /><br />That's it. Congratuations, you can now use Google Maps, because they make available a signed application. Applications MUST be signed to gain access to network functions. Trust me, there is no other workaround, and getting your own application to work requires you to pay $300/yr at least to get it signed by one of the companies whose certificate is included on this handset.<br /><br />Of course I also suggest <a href="http://operamini.com">Opera Mini</a>. Just visit that site and it's been signed by multiple certs now (I see Thawte showing up for me) and should work no problem! I'm so happy they finally have decided to include this as it really really helps out us poor guys stuck with crippled T-Mobile handsets! Thanks, Opera, luv ya! :)scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-7390309609695533732008-09-04T10:24:00.002-04:002008-09-04T10:36:55.038-04:00Free internet setup on Nokia 6086This'll work on many handsets, but here are the step-by-step I used on the Nokia 6086. I use the free dial-up service provided by <a href="http://www.nocharge.com">NoCharge</a>. $6/m t-zones is enough to use opera mini and google maps, but I was minimizing my plan and dropped it, since I hardly ever use these, but they can help if on a road trip and you get lost :)<br /><br />Start in <span style="font-weight:bold;">Menu > Settings > Configuration > Personal configuration settings</span>. Then <span style="font-weight:bold;">Options > Add New > Access Point</span>.<br />Account Name: NoCharge CSD<br />Access Point Settings...<br /> Data Bearer: GSM data<br /> Bearer Settings...<br /> Dial-up number: 3604692222<br /> Authentication type: Normal<br /> Data call type: Analog<br /> Data call speed: Automatic<br /> User name: guest<br /> Password: password<br /> Display terminal window: no<br /><br />That's all you need to get Opera Mini working, but you can add a Web setting for t-zones as well... Make sure you go back and change Default configuration settings to Personal config. You should also add MMS into your personal configuration since it doesn't seem to fall-back to the other config for items not in your personal configuration, plus you don't want to use your CSD access point to download your picture messages, we'll use their GPRS (which doesn't allow internet connectivity without t-zones plan).<br /><br />As before, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Add new > Picture msg</span>.<br />Server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms<br />Use perferred access point: No<br />Access Point Settings:<br /> Proxy: Enabled<br /> Proxy address: 216.155.165.50<br /> Proxy port: 8080<br /> Bearer Settings:<br /> Packet data access point: wap.voicestream.com<br /> Network type: IPv4<br /> Authentication type: Normal<br /> User name: [blank]<br /> Password: [blank]<br /><br />Voila, you have dial-up on your phone and your MMS still works. Dial-up is limited to 9600bps at best, but it does the job. Revert to t-zones when needed to use their site. Also, of course this uses your airtime because it is "dial-up". Don't say I didn't warn you.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-65954352355831634632008-02-21T15:47:00.002-05:002008-02-21T15:48:04.819-05:00lunar eclipse.[22:47] protonmatt: you go outside?<br />[22:47] neutron scott: why<br />[22:47] neutron scott: it snowed<br />[22:47] protonmatt: lunar eclipse?<br />[22:47] protonmatt: duh<br />[22:47] neutron scott: fuck that<br />[22:47] protonmatt: i thought you were a nerd.<br />[22:48] protonmatt: you disappoint me<br />[22:48] neutron scott: i only look at solar eclipses<br />[22:51] neutron scott: you watch the shit nigga?<br />[22:51] neutron scott: it ends right now huh<br />[22:55] protonmatt: yeah<br />[22:55] protonmatt: i watched it<br />[22:56] neutron scott: whats it about<br />[22:57] protonmatt: wait what?<br />[22:58] neutron scott: was it good enough to download the bootleg?<br />[23:01] neutron scott: !?<br />[23:02] protonmatt: wtf are you talking about?<br />[23:02] neutron scott: lunar eclipse 2008 nugga<br />[23:03] protonmatt: haha<br />[23:03] protonmatt: yeah leech that shit yo<br />[23:03] neutron scott: k tks love ya bye<br />[23:03] protonmatt: <3<br />[23:04] neutron scott: http://www.google.com/search?q=lunar+eclipse+torrent<br />[23:04] neutron scott: lol jk<br />[23:04] protonmatt: id hold out for a dvdrip<br />[23:05] protonmatt: no camsscotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-58725232641988520702007-12-20T21:44:00.000-05:002007-12-20T21:59:35.660-05:00GPS Hacks: Mio C320I bought myself a Mio C320 at RadioShack yesterday for $200. They had a great sale on memory cards, so I got a 4GB SDHC card too. Plenty of room for hacks, right? Yeah.<br />The forum I got the unlock stuff from is very tough to navigate I think. For those interested, <a href="http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=102694">this is what I used</a>.<br />So what can an "Unlocked" GPS do? I'd think a lot more than what I've got so far. Of course Windows CE 5.0 Core it could run most of those Pocket PC programs. Screen size and orientation are different, of course. You have zero buttons on this thing.. No action games. I've not yet gotten an NES emulator that works and will show the on-screen controls.. but it'd be no fun touch-screen anyway...<br />The #1 thing -- Video Player. It does all the essential formats -- DivX and even Flash Video [FLV]. I've only tried a 16M DivX, without any re-encoding, and it played on my 400MHz ARM like a champ. Not sure if a movie will though, but hey it's 400MHz and could always re-encode i guess.<br />I got it thinking I could use it like a Palm Pilot as well. So far I've not found any organizer applications to load onto it. :( Calculators are useful. I'd LOVE to get the TI-89 emulator to work! I see the calculator screen but not the keys (kinda same problem I have with PocketNES). It's all related to the GAPI I believe...<br /><a href="http://www.wincesoft.de/html/gapi_for_hpc_s.html">GAPI Emulator</a> for HPC's, seems to support this GPS directly too though!<br />No one visits this page I'm certain, but after the holidays I'd like to make a collection of applications, and do my own tweaks to this unlock program, and post them here. Then I'll be famous (are you the guy that dumped Zelda Phantom Hourglass!!?!?). ;)<br />Oh, another resource and lovely looking page: <a href="http://computerbits.wordpress.com/2007/11/16/how-to-unlock-mio-c230-release-2/">How to Unlock Mio C230</a>. It seems the two devices aren't very different aside from the screen size.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-52912090013667119852007-11-18T18:01:00.000-05:002007-11-18T18:10:24.488-05:00XBOX is still fun to hack.So I was bored and had spent some time in PA this weekend to visit the kids. My brother in law was there and asked for Madden 08 for the old hacked XBOX I have for my boys. I burnt it, and plan to bring it up next visit...<br /><br />My roommate here has an XBOX but no games or controllers at the moment. Used XBOX controller is still $20 at GameStop! geesh. Well, MechAssault is $3 used, saw 1 8MB MadCatz memory card for $10, and a dongle for $3. Get home and splice the dongle into a USB cable so my XBOX controller can plug into my PC. Download "Action Replay XBox PC Software v1.31" from <a href="http://us.codejunkies.com/home_downloads.asp?c=US">CodeJunkies</a> and Ltools from Xbins (google that yourself). Plug in the memory card and controller. First USB device it finds is the controller, for me anyway, which I skipped. Pointed the next USB device to the drivers in the Action Replay install directory. Dragged ltools_MA_v1.8_rc1.zip onto the AR software and it installed it to the saves directory. Drag it from PC to Memory card, bam.<br /><br />Put it on the XBOX and copy to hard drive, then start MechAssault and press "B" to get back to Ltools main menu (Starts in the DVD menu). There you go. Follow the on screen prompts.<br /><br />So I also used the ltools_dashes.zip and have UnleashX, and I did all this to test my Madden 08 burnt DVD, and help out my roomie if he decides to ever use his XBOX he can get some games from me...<br /><br />Best part -- took under 30min. First XBOX I ever hacked took like two days of figuring crap out. This was back when installers weren't invented and I had to hotswap the hard drive and such. Eventually I'd like to upgrade the harddrive in my kids XBOX. The 120gb one in there has been full for awhile.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-35437165716308614752007-11-11T15:58:00.000-05:002007-11-11T16:01:07.737-05:00aeroplanes.i got back in the shop and saw emergency vehicles deploying to the airfield. a buddy goes, "watch this."<br /><br />i just saw a harrier land without it's front landing gear down. the nose bounced off the deck twice.<br /><br />it was pretty rad. :)scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-48176193081867837722007-11-11T14:41:00.000-05:002007-11-11T14:47:00.991-05:00I rediscover MidpSSHwow. so i'm stuck at work and bored on a weekend alone. my stunnel wouldn't connect. guess my shell was restarted. the daemon wasn't loaded. rather than play the nintendo ds i also brought with me, i decided to see if there was ANY way to get around this. i ended up getting MidpSSH on my cell phone and logging in, su to root, and running stunnel.<br />MidpSSH is an SSH/Telnet client for pretty much any cell phone. I of course run my SSH on port 465 so T-Mobile allows a direct connection to it already, so I didn't have to mess with much. Version 1.7.0 is the devel branch, which should be further along than 1.6.0... but it did not work! Almost giving up, I tried 1.6.0 and it's much better. Would be a really great application if I had a QWERTY keyboard :)<br />Anyway, check it out <a href="http://www.xk72.com/midpssh/">here</a>.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-39897224123745121252007-11-09T12:33:00.000-05:002007-11-09T12:37:14.242-05:00DS repair.I bought two broken white DS's from the local classifieds for $50. I was able to repair the first one real easy. When I opened the case, a small surface mount inductor -- L2 (next to power switch) -- fell out. I soldered the bad boy back in and the thing works great! So I got my $50 worth. I used the other one to replace my broken power switch on my own DS, and selling the rest on eBay. Much thanks to Sean for his soldering skills with that switch.<br /><br />It's fun work. I wish I had the monies to start in DS refurbishment. Might be able to get some money off that on eBay once I collected some parts. But the holiday's and birthdays coming up, ... I wish I had gotten both DS's to work -- they'd be christmas presents for my sons. =\scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-56091257290892135382007-10-23T21:30:00.000-04:002007-10-23T21:34:50.878-04:00gbaldr+szcard patch version 4.i hate blogs for projects. you always read these and are like, okay lovely changes but what is the program to begin with?<br /><br />gbaldr is a program for the EZ FLASH 3-in-1 to write gameboy advance roms to a flash memory cartridge in the slot2 of your nintendo ds. it of course requires a way to launch .nds (usually a slot-1 hacker card). this is a patch so that it works with the "Fire Linker 128Mbit" aka SZcard, currently being sold on <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4707">dealextreme.</a> out of the box it requires you to find some warez program if you don't read chinese, and also a parallel port, and a GBA to program your card. this program makes it very easy if you already have a DS and a slot-1 and are looking to add GBA ROMs to your playlist. :)<br /><br />version 1-3 probably shouldn't have gotten numbers, but was uploading lil changes to the development forum for people to test out and wanted a way to be able to tell if they were using the right #... so here's version 4, the first one worth a download.<br /><br /><a href="http://scottn.us/gbaldr-szcard4.rar">gbaldr-szcard4</a>: binary and source.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-13804182908363346912007-10-23T21:19:00.000-04:002007-10-23T21:28:04.636-04:00Charging Batteriesso i was reading up on how to charge batteries and went to take my battery charger apart... and realized when i was drunk this weekend i put normal alkaline AA's in my NiMH charger. i felt them, they weren't warm... they did not explode... maybe i was lucky, but they were at a healthy 1.72 V!<br />i won't go into details but it's possible to charge them. a couple manufacturers make chargers for normal batteries, and some people call them scams. of course, it works, but it's not ideal. they apparently don't charge many times (on the order of ten times vs hundreds), and alkaline can't be charged quickly either. luckily/probably my charger was smart enough to sense 'fast-charge' was done very early in this charging process, and it used a more nominal current. otherwise, i'm just lucky they didn't explode? either way, nothing i'd do on the norm, but it's obviously got me a bit excited. :)<br />also, i did not notice if the charge light was off (i unplugged it before looking), nor did i get a before reading on the voltage, but they definitely didn't have enough juice for my digital camera... but then again, digital cameras draw more current and are better suited for NiMH than alkaline. again, your mileage may vary, but worth a mention.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-29295948485519922662007-10-15T21:56:00.000-04:002007-10-17T16:15:52.858-04:00SZcardI bought a cheap gameboy advance flashcart on <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4707">dealextreme</a>[<a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/productimages/sku_4707_4.jpg">pic</a>] for $9.21 with free shipping.

Parallel port linker which required a GBA! Your PC uses the GBA to actually program it. My solution? Write a small program to do that for ya...

I'm actually writting this from work! It's much slower than normal browsing. Could be a few things. My server might be slow (yah it prob is, it's cheap!) and every little HTTP connection turns into a encrypted HTTPS tunnel with key exchanges and encryption for the smallest of files... That's where I'd assume most of the overhead is. A single connection which stays open and tunnels traffic may do better -- PuTTY/ssh does that very nicely. But do I want to run SSH which is encrypted (but optionally compressed!) underneath an SSL tunnel? Twice encrypted, that takes some CPU cycles, but I believe keeping 1 connection and not having to do the handshakes every time, plus a bit of compression...<br /><br />Workstation -> stunnel client -> Firewall -> stunnel server -> tinyproxy -> sshd<br /><br />Wow. It's so easy if it's just ssh, cut out stunnel and tinyproxy. Why does SSH have to not work over this dern proxy? I wish they had used a protocol which looked more like a real HTTPS connection. I already use it on port 443 on my secondary IP for such occasions! :) I seriously think it's just because the server talks first... I could hack PuTTY (sources are available) and my sshd, but what'd that really help me achieve? SPEED! Incompatibilities... :Dscotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796scott.nicholas@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-67494895397539699262007-09-24T21:40:00.000-04:002007-09-24T21:57:52.113-04:00HTTP proxies...They're used so you don't visit sites you're not suppose to. It's really easy with all the CGI proxies out there to get around them, but they aren't 100% functional. SSH over HTTP proxy usually works, but this time for me it did not. I suppose it was because an SSH server starts the connection with a version identifier, and the HTTP proxy did not like that. I will be testing out this stunnel/tinyproxy configuration. It'd be doubly encrypted, but I could in turn use that to connect to my SSH server if a success. Attached you'll find the files.<br /> The config files are all unchanged from my tests, so you'll have information about my server, but my stunnel server has been setup to checks client certificates. I included my client cert and private key, but it's passworded, and if cracked and abused I can easily change the certs allowed on the server! The tinyproxy backend only allows connections from localhost. That makes it pretty closed to all those random foreign hackers that always seem to probe the entire internet for open proxies.<br />So anyway... Hopefully it seems more authentic to my corporates HTTP proxy. It would be a nice addition to <a href="http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable">Portable Firefox</a>. Making those weekends stuck on duty seem almost like I'm surfing from home... :)<br /><i>Edit: on second thought, I won't post the file here.

I've since been using Windows 2000 and more recently Windows XP. I plan to soon get a 16GB SDHC card and possibly restore the internal HD with Linux (not sure if it'll be EEE's Distro though).<BR/><BR/>You sign your comment as "roffelmavo the hacker" I'd think you'd know how to fix this. Did you move your files to your home directory as explained in the steps on http://scottn.us/2008/03/asus-eee-pc-with-aircrack-ng.html ?<BR/><BR/>You should be able to do the reverse to move them back:<BR/><BR/> mv ~/*.ko /lib/modules/2.6.21.4-eeepc/atheros<BR/><BR/>Maybe you'd like to delete everything that is put into /lib/modules/2.6.21.4-eeepc/net from the tar.gz file first.<BR/><BR/>As with many "blogs" on the internet and using other peoples binaries, it'd done as a convinence to save people from having to get their own development tools and environment setup just to do this one task, and is provided AS-IS with no warrenty. I'm no company providing you a product which I have to support, so please don't suggest that this is my fault. I had great results and didn't notice a 50% decrease on my EEE PC 701 4G. I was able to still pickup a rather distant AP and capture.<BR/><BR/>I am a rather nice guy though. If these steps don't help I can try to troubleshoot with you more.

And see if it makes any sense?<BR/><BR/>I'll explain why I think this may be the case: I tried googling for "applicationgoo" with no useful results. Googling for the registry location in the reg files results in more information: It changes the program behavior BEFORE it runs (the best link is in http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2004/04/28/121871.aspx even though most of its referenses in MSDN are gone). But it also does not cover applicationgoo.<BR/><BR/>From the name though I am guessing that it is some sort of glue between the OS and the program. And the best sort of glue would be some sort initialization code, probably expressed in machine laguage.<BR/><BR/>So: could someone out there try to interpret it as assembly to see if this makes sense? And if so tell us what it does?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-16240166600762436442008-08-04T08:00:00.000-04:002008-08-04T08:00:10.217-04:00this is kind of abandoned. i'm sure there's better...this is kind of abandoned. i'm sure there's better things on the forums now. http://forum.eeeuser.com/<BR/>i've switched to windows 2000 since i got my eeepc back with no reason to muck around in linux again.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349833325568626796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780281200898881474.post-76023733035107594442008-07-06T16:10:00.000-04:002008-07-06T16:10:57.835-04:00Hi, these are great drivers!
