Today I noticed that blog stopped working;(

I have to add some magic into .htaccess to switch some PHP flags — one of them will be magic_quotes_gpc which suxx.

UPDATE: I have to find why plugins stopped working…

UPDATE II:It was magic_quotes_runtime option.

Today I noticed that 4 years ago I started work at Polnet SA in Wrocław, Poland as PHP programmer. It was times of PHP 4.0.4 when register_globals was normal thing, when using short_tags (< ? ?>) was something which does not bothered me (today it conflict with XML).

Now portal for which I wrote most of code exist in other form, many sections was removed, not all work — time passed, company died.

It was 20 years ago when Commodore Amiga (the initial name of the Amiga 1000) was unveiled officially at the Lincoln Centre in New York.

I had Amiga 600 (with HDD and 2MB RAM) then switched to A1200 which got many upgrades like faster CPU (68030/50 and then 68040/40), additional IDE controler and more RAM (64MB FastRAM was very big amount of RAM :)

Now I don’t have Amiga machine but does not feel that I need one — that time passed away few years ago.

I don’t have APT repository with ROX-Filer from few months. If you have my website in /etc/apt/sources.list then remove them.

I have lot of hits to the /apt/* directories which does not exists.

UPDATE: ROX-Filer is in Debian since 29 Jul 2004 — it’s my second package in Debian (first one was tex-skak).

Yesterday I got account on handhelds.org server and R/W access to OPIE source code.

I use OPIE for over year. From time to time I hacked source a bit and sent patches via opie-devel ML — now I can commit patches directly ;)

W poprzednim numerze Przekroju była informacja o nowej książce Marka S. Huberatha “Miasta pod skałą”. Jako że “Gniazdo światów” tego samego autora ciekawą książką jest to uznałem, że i tę nabędę. W sobotę byłem w Empiku, wydałem 39.99zł i jadąc sobie pociągiem przeczytałem ~180 stron. Muszę przyznać, że wciąga i to nieżle — akcja pokręcona maksymalnie.

Few days ago I had to go from work to home just to turn on my desktop computer. Now when I have possibility to remote login to my router I tried to get Wake-On-LAN working.

My desktop PC has 3 network cards:

• 3Com 3c905b-tx (my favorite one which I use since 2001)
• SMC 9332 DST (card from 1995 year — I bought it because it has good packet driver under DOS)
• Via-Rhine 6102 (onboard — was disabled)

I installed “ethtool” and started to checking which card support WOL. First tested was 3Com one:

root@home:~# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
        Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
        Speed: 10Mb/s
        Duplex: Half
        Port: MII
        PHYAD: 24
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on
        Current message level: 0x00000001 (1)
        Link detected: no

As you see — no WOL here.. So I build “tulip” module and checked SMC card:

root@home:~# ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
No data available

It’s so old card that I was not suprised that it does not support WOL. Next step was rebooting machine, enable onboard LAN and enabling two other options in BIOS:

Wake on Onboard LAN
Wake on PCI card

Started Linux and started ethtool:

root@home:~# ethtool eth2
Settings for eth2:
        Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
        Speed: 100Mb/s
        Duplex: Full
        Port: MII
        PHYAD: 1
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on
        Supports Wake-on: pumbg
        Wake-on: d
        Current message level: 0x00000001 (1)
        Link detected: yes

And that card support WOL :) So I retired 3Com card and now VIA-Rhine is my default NIC. I added one line to /etc/init.d/hrw-misc:

ethtool -s eth0 wol pumbg

to get WOL turned on on each reboot.

On router I installed “wol” package and created one line script “/sbin/wake-home”:

wol -i 192.168.1.255 xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc

where “xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc” is MAC address of desktop NIC.

Thanks goes to Jimmy for his entry in blog.
