The Edgar's Corner

More here in a sketch notebook:

already had me puzzled as lightning operated applications on Facebook. More and more, a better other worse, and will then decided to go peek.

Now nothing better than getting into http://developers.facebook.com/ to read things.

At the bottom of this Apps on Facebook.com that was what interested me until it is not even anything special. Create the app, setup and ready.

A small piece of PHP code already allows to do some things. Of course there are things that obviously much more advanced, and this is not one of them!

In short ... this effort possible to create a crystal ball , a simple script that accesses data from the user and the show. Completely useless, but it served to explore the functioning of these apps.

That's it ... now I can go to the achievement of a useful application. The idea already have, I just need the same time, and consider how to do it.

Following yesterday's post about installing Windows 3.11 Luis Silva suggested the installation of Windows 3.11 with DosBox .

Now I try and really is much simpler ... shame is not having network.

Installation is simple and is done well, and in my case using x64 Windows 7:

- Install DOSBox to "c: \ Program Files (x86) \ DOSBox-0.74" and create two subdirectories for use as drive "C:" drive and "d:" C: \ DOSBox \ DiskC and C: \ DOSBox \ installs

- Add lines to mount "dosbox.conf" to make the automatic mount these directories and change the keyboard to Portuguese.

For this run the bat "DOSBox 0.74 Options.bat" which is in c: \ Program Files (x86) \ DOSBox-0.74 and in the section below to add the mounts:

[Autoexec]
# Lines in this section Will Be Run at startup.
# You Can Put Your MOUNT lines here.
mount c "C: \ DOSBox \ DiskC"
mount d: "C: \ DOSBox \ installs"
c:
keyb po

- You can find Windows 3.1 in Classic Gaming , or use of this Baixe.Info which is in Spanish and have even MSDOS 6:22 (this pump will not be necessary in this case since the DosBox is fine) and copy the contents of all subdirectories (Disk1, Disk2 ... Disk7 to "C: \ DOSBox \ installs, run DOSBox, change to drive" d "in DOSBox and run the setup.exe or setup.exe (Windows Classic or Windows Gaming the Baixe.info)
Now whenever they want to boot with Windows 3.1 is sufficient (after entering the shell of DOSBox):
cd windows
win
And do the words of Luis mine, "And is ready to use! (Whatever it is that one does today with Windows 3.1 P). "

Neither lost a lot of time configuring DosBox but the 58 MB free that it has are more than enough for this "thing" run .... discs at the time of 20MB RAM and 4MB were luxuries (if I remember correctly!)

Again ... I feel it is necessary for network VirtualBox, but I think nobody needs it for surfing the net today

Until they are things that were at the time. ... how shall I say ... unthinkable? VPN access are now commonplace

As you can imagine this is a super time consuming task ... want to install DOSBox (one click), or install Windows on seven floppies (ui!). For the sake of humanity and your sanity clarify that spent three times as long to make this post than installing Windows

That's it ... enough to play with Windows 3.11. Time to go back to this and do some housework Have fun.

Installing VirtualBox with Windows 3.1! A relic, for everyone to catch up.

Here on this site for abandonware can find the DOS and Windows 3.11 (Dutch ...)

• WordPress updated to version 3.0
• Read some stuff on the net about IPV6. Yesterday following a site I saw advertised on Twitter - http://www.telecom.pt/ipv6 - and some considerations in monkeys decided to go read some more. It seems that death has something scheduled for 2011 with the exhaustion of IPV4 blocks, and much concern now revolves around that.
• Investigate the topic by NFSI , since in FCCN the thing seems to be dead ... I still remember the case of IPv6 address which appeared in the building of the department of Eng Electroténica of FCT / UNL : a small room deep inside where someone apparently belonged to the said taskforce .
• Submit a request SixXS to see if I can implement a tunnel here at home. Asked to create a user for later ordering the IPV6 tunnel. Trying to do some experiments and put things in IPV6 here at home. After all .... 100 Mbps of bandwidth should be used to much.
• The telephone service "her" rang at 7 am, with the theme of the phone conversation and there goes my sleep since I was laid for two. ... well ... my head is heavy ... Need coffee. Today, not with the Nespresso escaped me at home, I really need coffee seriously bruised at the moment.
• My candidacy in the user SixXS was approved. Now I made the application to get an IPv6 tunnel through NFSI ... wait now ();
• Planning some stuff at home, take a quick fixes, go shopping, possibly washing the car, pick up clothes, dry clothes, lunch, vacuuming ... Geez. So much and so little time
• José Saramago's death yesterday, today occupies all TVS, somewhat similar to what happened last night. Two days of national mourning. Lost is a great writer, not in everyone's opinion .... because I always remember him being criticized for Intrago in terms of writing. Do not know much of his works, just read the Memorial do Convento, which I liked a lot, and seen the interpretation of Blindness in the cinema. Ribatejano, controversial, communist, won a Nobel, has been living out of Portugal, Lanzarote. It is the cycle of life, birth and death, and now it was his turn. You lost a great man and person.

After our last dinner together for the guys, on a trial basis in Japan in Bethlehem, we decided to embark once again on the other all you can eat sushi.

This time we went to Benfica, just behind the zoo and liked. According to our expert of the thing, Ruben Alves this is better than the other, and is slightly cheaper. We counted this time with the presence of a few more new faces and so we are putting the conversation in the day, and knowing people with whom we are accustomed to exchanging emails and "mapping" so to their faces.

The topics of conversation are different as usual, from phones, apple, and IPEDS ipads to Games, and the systematic pressure for the Dana Ruben install the Flash plugin to play the games that he recommended it, but without much success.

Well ... here are some photos to immortalize this event. Next week is the dinner at the Port, and will have some guys in Lisbon, though instead of sushi, all will be started in the art of Francesinhas by Carlos Martins, who will head the brave troops in the north along the Ruben is in all

And here are some pictures I took ... I mean, my phone!

Thanks to RedTuxer, I now discover by your post that there was a wine called Ubuntu, discovered partly illustrated by beautiful pictures of their label, which "copy" this below. It is nevertheless interesting extr obviously making the parallel with the Ubuntu distribution of Linux, as their inspiration to be partly similar in terms of origin of the word as I recall.

Now since I am curious, I will discover a little more of this wine sold by Niepoort .

This year, with the creation of the World Cup in South Africa, the Niepoort Wines has launched a limited edition alluding to this event, the UBUNTU! 2008, a wine that keeps the same spirit and Results of a blend of different grape varieties (Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Cao), a fresh wine, fruity, with the complexity of a Douro wine and elegance Niepoort wines. UBUNTU! 2008 is a ruby wine, with intense red fruit aromas of black pepper and spices, along mineral and a touch earthy. The palate is vibrant and attractive, with juicy tannins and very good acidity that provides balance and a very long aftertaste.

Site Garrafeira National

With a price tag of around 6 euro and can be purchased via the Web site of the National Wine Cellar (above), could still find a promotion for today, for those who want the newspaper Público, however can take a 5.60 eur bottle home, announces the Niepoort in your page on FaceBook .

Interested already know ... Run to the bunker, it may be that there is still public and bottles Or you can get it on the net if you do not want to go to a store.

The even have a funny story: "Ubuntu is an ethical or humanistic philosophy, focusing on the loyalties of the people and their relationships. The word originates from the Bantu dialects of South Africa and is seen as a traditional African concept. "

For more details you can see the plug even here on the website of Niepoort.

Too bad that is how bad wine enthusiast just like to Alentejo, Douro and not, but there would still be caught if banks see a bottle.

First of all, i would like to clarify That I'm not responsable for any damage you cause to your equipment Can "playing" with the shell access to your O! Play. Try this at your own risk. ...
Ok, so Asus released HAD HAD FW released at 1:27 ITS FTP and removed appearead and again and now ... it's not there.

In fact-Have some users download it, and put it over the Internet in servers like MegaUpload.

In order to get some links just visit Asus support forum . With this firmware I've Discovered That Can one more cool thing ben Enabled: BitTorrent Client.

At this point i managed to start the BitTorrent Client, the webserver / scripts from Which It Can Be Controlled, But after adding a torrent it's stalled. Maybe this needs some more research, But Until Now These Are the steps That I've done to get this working. UPDATE: after sooooooooometime the torrent starts to download indeed!

Ok, let's explain:

Step 1: Telnet into your O! Play with username root and no password

Step2: Execute The Following commands: df

Watch the results in such way to retrieve the path of your harddisk connected to the oplay. In my case it's under / tmp/usbmounts/sda2. What's on your telnet client applaud it's something like this:

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/ Dev / root 92160 92160 0 100% /
/ Dev/mtdblock/2 61 440 1404 60 036 2% / usr / local / etc
/ Dev/rd/0 40 40 0 100% / mnt / rd
/ Dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 61 440 60 036 1404 / tmp/usbmounts/sda2

Since we now know where is the path under the Hard Disk or pen now run The Following

cd / usr / local / bin / package / script

. / Start bt.script .. / btpd / tmp/usbmounts/sda2 /

After this you'll get a message like "BT start"

OK ... next enable web interface, follow The Following commands:

. / Start unicgi

You'll receive your screen in The Following message:

"Starting unicgi ...
unicgi started "

After this just http://YOUR.OPLAY.IP/home.html accessories with your favorite browser

Can you add a torrent

And Can you see the torrent added, start it, But ... Until Now. No luck. Maybe it's missing port config or something else. Will try to figure it out later. It takes a while to starting to download, But it downloads.

After some time the torrent disappears .... strange! It disappears But later appears again, and starts downloading.

That is another cool thing if you put the standby unit em all goes by. You've to start it again.

Useful stuff or Insignificant? I prefer it as a big step in the functions now available. However the BitTorrent Client to Be "seems quite broken indeed. Maybe some tuning Will fix.

Same goes to the NAS functionality (view my post in O! Play HDP-R1 - Higher With Firmware 1.27) Which is a big step, but ... "seems Equally To Be Broken, the it's not enabled by default, and it's not very Useful logging in the box by telnet and running linux commans. However we've to keep in mind That this is not a computer.

First of all, i would like to clarify That I'm not responsable for any damage you cause to your equipment Can "playing" with the shell access to your O! Play. Try this at your own risk. ...

Okay, the main goal in this NAS support Was Announced before in the forums by someone from Asus. Until now only one person in the forums talked about this. That's a Mac user sees Venus in Which Their network.

After some testing this new firmware May Differences arise, specially support for RSS, TVS Radios and more organized. The DVD option applaud, but not by me Explored Until Now.

OK, stop the talk, and the goods.

Accessibility is Venus from Telnet with the Telnet client in Windows like the usual. In Windows Vista and Windows 7 telnet is not installed by default so Can you install it, or use a telnet client like Putty . Just find your O! Ip play and that's all you need.

After that Just telnet into the box. Username root, the password.

Can we see some ports open, But the NAS running by default. To enable it i just by running Samba Launched The Following commands:

cd / tmp / package / script
. / Configsamba
. / Samba start

(The / usr / local / bin / package / samba / sbin / smbd Was Used before, But now thanks to all @ FarVoice Should Be using the commands above)

After doing this the "netstat-a" We Can find it listen

After this just open it in Windows from network by simpling open it to the share, just like this: \ \ 192.168.1.67 (this is my internal IP in my O! Play) and put some files in it. If you user another Operating System like Linux or Mac i assume you know how to to this.

Since the nmbd service is running You Should Also acess your O! Play with \ \ venus

I will try to figure how to get this running if you reset it / power it down .... But for now we know that's Possible to use it ... well ... the NAS nor the actual NAS, But it's the Accessibility share in the network. But in security, what Can you expect from a simple device That root user do not have a password?

It's already tomorrow is the launch of the project HAB SpaceBits ... even nearby in Castro Verde , the team invites anyone to appear at 11 to see the balloon rise.

Four Portuguese geeks who will launch a balloon up to 30km in altitude and then try to recover the probe

The goal for this project is to launch an High Altitude Balloon (HAB) with the computer to probe near space in Portugal. The Helium filled Balloon Will Go the the 30,000 meters high (that's about 100 000 feet) to the stratosphere, then explodes and falls with the probe to parachute and is recovered in earth.

The launch and trajectory can be followed on the Internet in DashBoard, which was released in http://spacebits.eu/live or via Twitter . There are also Facebook, RSS and related provision is made for sure tomorrow great agitation for social networks with the balloon in the air certainly

The best thing is not to lose, and if they can go to see Castro Verde I think is very interesting. If they can not see the Internet in http://spacebits.eu/live

Not yet had posted here, but have since February 1 O! Play.

Although some bloqueiozitos, this has been very good, as read directly from the NAS there is to read, or even the Windows Shares that have on the network. Sometimes blocks, but I suspect that is the same share of the 2008 Server that is usually always against Linux's ....

Even have a radio, stream, and it seems that YouTube goes through there too. It replaced my old 1500 that Kiss had huge flaws of codecs. DVD no longer here at home, but the DVD of PC is shared, and if necessary the boy reads the DVD that I put on the PC. ... a treat! DTS, optical, HDMI, RJ45, USB and Sata!

Well it all came out to say that a new FW, the 1.24.

Apparently they say you do not see anything new ... I hope you at least have bugfixes, but also what is the reason you have left?
