Recharged!

February 8, 2009

Looking back the past few weeks, I’m more than happy to say that I’m now back on track. A light work week and a stress free weekend really do wonders for a weary body and mind.

Some items that are supposed to be on my mind but I’m busy zoning out:

  • ISO Quality Manual Revision (now waiting for board approval but there are still items that need ironing out)
  • IT Documentation (I really need to devote more time into this)
  • Room 205 workstations really need some love and care ASAP (those coastal pips are really squeezing them dry)
  • I need to get those documents cleared soon (DOST-SEI, SSS ID, RMH, etc.)
  • Office Seminars (HR and IT are highest on my list)
  • IT learning (I’m thinking about seriously learning PHP and Python)
  • Organize my thoughts about Fedora APAC

Using OpenDNS and DD-WRT

December 1, 2008

I was in a situation very much like this guy and I need to block access to other DNS from within our company network. Some coworkers are technology savvy enough to disable the static network configs on their workstations and in effect bypass our web filters.

Here’s what I did on our dd-wrt router:

1. Administration -> Commands (after typing the code below, click on Save Startup)

dnsmasq -S 208.67.222.222 -R -i br0 -p 1054

2. Administration -> Commands (after typing the codes below, click on Save Firewall)

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -i br0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr):1054
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i br0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr):1054

Changing of the Keys

September 25, 2008

While checking http://pgp.mit.edu/ for my keys, I found out that I already have five keys in total on their servers. Two of them were already revoked while three remain valid. Of these three, two are for the same email address (F53365DF and 72F7709B) while the other one, though unique, (0DC971F3) is for an email address I’m no longer using.

This is therefore an announcement that from now on, I’ll exclusively use F53365DF as my PGP KeyID for my fedoraproject email.

Bit of Wisdom

January 9, 2007

This is one bit of wisdom i got last night during our boot camp:

You’re only a failure when you stopped trying.

Something to think about while dreaming awake :)
