31st august 1999

Had a long conference with Reyk, who showed me some of the
most
interesting security sites on the net. Thx, buddy.

Compiled 2.2.12 for www.stun.de and rebooted.
Compiled tripwire fresh for stun.de and core dumping seems
gone.

Wrote an user dump to html converter for firewall-1. Hmm.. beauty
!

30th august 1999

Tom & Jerry marathon on Cartoon Network… and I have to work.

Tripwire is dumping core all the time, debugging says something
like
invalid inode or os… maybe I should repair my filesystem soon
???

Wrote a new firewall script to dump and log the usage of every
object
configured on the firewall. This helps to keep track of unused
objects.

Set up a new database for andys.stun.de which holds all information
on
Asia Shops as well as Japanese Restaurants and Sushi Bars around
Munich. ))

Cleaned up the bathroom…. uh I hate this work…. my back
hurts….. (

No mail from Aya yet… hmmm… Heiki ?

Compiled 2.2.12 for my local machine, but not yet restarted.

29th august 1999

More cleaning up in my room. Boy it was just right in time…..

Installed the ready-at-all tripwire.rpm on stun.de and setup an
own
virtual host for the freshmeat mirror.
http://freshmeat.stun.de
Also installed rpm2html for documentation purposes.

Have you ever heard rsync when syncing 100MB of small 1kb files
over
100MBit and on a raid1 array )) WOW, what sound…..
I thought it would be hailing outside DDD

Screwed my handy dustbuster, and installed the power supply more
far
away. Cables under the carpet, I’ll have to watch my next
visitor
if (s)he’s shaking. ))

28th august 1999

Completely fascinated by the new video driver 2.0 playing around
with
webcam and almost any TV-program displayed at once in a
netscape
window. Updated within the image, so no page reloading ! WOW
!

Updated the whole perl package, but the newest GD still wont build.

Webcam is active again, and will transfer an instant picture
on
every diary upload. I hope that I smile on that shots .
Plus I set up the possibility to see me live as long as I’m
connected,
just click on webcam on the right, to see if I’m online and
which IP address my server is currently linked to.

(Hey Aya, how’s about videoconferencing ?
But I think PHS is too slow….)

Try “vidcap | xbgset stdin” and you can watch TV as your background
image.
A simple infinite while do loop brings you almost satisfying
flow.

27th august 1999

Developed a new perl script dumping the usage date of each
firewall
object. That way it should be possible to detect old unused
objects.

Big party at work because of three of my coworkers became
father
last month.

Finally discovered the beauty in programming perl.
There are so many modules around. Even for PalmPilot…. ts

Started a mirror of freshmeat.net via the rsync service,
I think we’ll activate this for linux.stun.de.

26th august 1999

New perlscript dumping firewall-rules with date of last use.

Developed some concepts and new thoughts about network
security.

Discovered the Kernel-HTTP-daemon kHTTPd which was included
in the 2.3.14 linux source. Interesting developement.

25th august 1999

Added 3D pie graph to the firewall packet report filter.

2.2.12 is released, finally. But no time to review.

Played around with lspci and wrote a frontend for
admin.stun.de.

Swimming was very funny today. So much tired we almost sink.
After that Reyk and me had dinner in a greek restaurant and
after a little shock in a thai karaoke bar. ))) That was funny….

24th august 1999

Big bughunting in timecard-reader software. Ate up all my
time.

Bought 8kg differnt kinds of meat today, and spent the
evening
cutting into portions and freezing them.

Aya’s package arrived today, but has gone back to the post office
for
pickup because I worked to long ? to early ? at all ?
)) I think latter one.

Found my lost photos from my London trip, together with Aya,
in my parents house I knew it.
Will stick them tonight in my album.

Linus seems to be a little bit unhappy on the 2.2.12
suggestion
of Alan, because he had to deliver a third revision already.

23rd august 1999

Tracked some serious mail delivery problems between two
firewalls.

Rewrote my fw-scripts and move the ftp calls (with netrc)
completely
inside the perl script using Net::FTP.

Coded the boogie players index page. Now dynamically from within
MySQL.

22nd august 1999

Tried to set up an own voicebox for Aya, but I couldn’t find
out why my second ISDN line service-type doesn’t match.
Pure configuration chaos….

Updated some of the new boogie pages and added more menus.
The event calendar is now in the same colour design.

Setting up a new homepage for japanese (or generally asian)
restaurants, bars, shops and so on.

21st august 1999

Completely redesigned my corner of the flat, and it looks
like
more space after throwing away some old books and stuff.

The boogie woogie event calendar is now up and running,
anyway
the server is still OFFLINE, sorry.

20th august 1999

My firewall log check scripts are running perfectly it seems, at
work.

Set up some of the RC5 clients to my newly installed keyproxy
server,
seti is still not working with authentication… Can it be so
hard….

Compiled (partly) the newest ISDN4K utilities, but there seem
to be a lot of conflicts.
Anyway is again up and running.

Had serious problems to poll my mail, there’s obviously a
problem
with big mails at netsurf ? Timeout or something ?

Finished the day at Shananigans Irish Pub together with Tom,
checking out some different ciders.

19th august 1999

Installed and experimented with tripwire, wow, almost what I’ve
been
looking for. A security tool to index your files and check
integrity
access and every kind of modification.

After long time waiting for the kernel 2.2.12 to be released,
(2.2.11 has some nice bugs) I couldn’t stand it anymore.
It seems Linus is busy, no time for the last review, so I decided
to
reboot my machine to 2.2.11. BIG MISTAKE.
The whole ISDN subsystem is redesigned, so I have to get that 8
MB
TGZ but first reboot to 2.2.10. Great…
This may take some time…

18th august 1999

Got my ACE administration software today, so I’m now the master of
the
(universe ) securid card distribution.
Nice job, and one more database which has to be in sync,
manually,
with the firewall-1s.

Started our weekly swimming today, together with Reyk.
It’s really fantastic for relaxion after a long and hard working
day.

17th august 1999

Traced back some weird IP packets which should pass our
firewall,
but which are blocked somewhere before or after…. access
lists…

Played with the Firewall Configuration Tool FCT and gave up
the
graphical(although web-based) desktop after a lot of
mysterious
blocking. IMHO the best way to configure FCT is, by hand in
the
flatfiles, and after that use the web frontend to control and
for documentation.

Discovered again that a lot of mails from Aya are missing…
(
The funny thing is that some parts are missing because of
wrong
addressing others because of forwarding problems.
We now always send CC’s but what matters if the receiver is
wrong or mails getting lost while forwarded.

16th august 1999

Finally got my own telephone at work. Yippie !!!!!! )))

Discovered a wrong access list which blocked our firewall.

Played around with the nighty FCT firewall configuration tool for
Linux.
WOW ! But anyway you have to know what you’re doing….

Calculated how much money will be left per month for Aya and
me…
… (( … doesn’t look good.

15th august 1999

Updated the linux kernel grapher on linux.stun.de and added
some
comments for all series, as well as included the 2.1 and 2.0
trees.

Updated the last modified file viewer on admin.stun.de,
directories
are now linked for easier navigation.

Experimented with the IP-chains package.

14th august 1999

A food-shopping and cooking day. Anyway being lazy.

Enjoying the flintstone week on cartoon network.

Compiled 2.2.11 for www.stun.de and zuse1, discovered some IP
problems
which should be urgently fixed in 2.2.12.

Downloded the newest Portaloo and played with the news
collector,
which is still not able to handle proxies.

13th august 1999

Developed a first version of the name concept for our
firewalls.

Reyk visited me today at my new company. Thanks ! Nice to have
guests.
no further comment, we both know better
We also decided to go swimming from next wednesday on, every
week
at night. So I hope to stay in shape for Aya

Met with Reyk, Babsi, Adriane and Birte at Shananigans Irish
Pub.
Hey, Aya, Adriane is going to Japan for 1 year from next april
on,
so you still have a chance to talk japanese to her !

12th august 1999

News from the RedHat IPO.
The stocks running higher and higher, with a starting value
of 12$ they’re now up to 80$ which lists them up on place 7 of
the
first day winners top ten.

Installed Apache and PHP3 on my machine at work.
Experimented with gd and dynamic image-creation.

11th august 1999

Today we’ve total solar eclipse in Munich.
Had bad luck because exactly at that time when I wanted to
see
the corona the clouds covered my sight, just 1km farer
everything
was perfect. At least I could experience 2 minutes nighttime.
GREAT ! ))
it must have been amazing to see the elephants in the zoo
starting
shaking and the birds stop singing.
So the next one will be better. And 2081 should be possible
if
Aya takes much care for me. )))))

10th august 1999

Wrote a password change script in perl, which allows complex
user administration via web-interface too.

9th august 1999

Improved the firewall report script, and collected statistics
on denied packets.
Searching for an Apache user-administration tool.
Found nothing.

Some friends of our family visited us this week to see the
solar eclipse on wednesday.

8th august 1999

Met Thomas who’s right back from 1 week holiday in tents.
And the bad news, someone crushed his car.

7th august 1999

Another shopping day. Bought wardrobe and shoe-board.

6th august 1999

Novell is still pursuing me, and I had to join a Y2K meeting,
today.
Converted the FW-1 Docu of yesterday into excel….
Yeah, after lots of drugs I can agree that too, that MS is
much better for searching and documentation than HTML can
ever be. I wonder if they ever heard of Searchengines.
We’ll see if there’s a way to make these documentation
autoprocessing some day. But without MS I guess/hope.

After discovering fwrules4.pl, done the docu again.
This time, including Icons and links of all objects,
so you can see which group-members and parameters belong
together.

5th august 1999

The firewalls entries made yesterday didn’t help, but someone
in NYC felt responsible for the firewall configuration on
their
side. ))) Baehhhhhhhhh….

Started a support query for FW1-Documentation-Tools.
(no response.)
After a while searching the web I discovered, fwrules2.pl
which delivers a HTML output of almost every configuration
dialog within FW-1.

4th august 1999

Yet no Outlook working at work, because of a wrong order
in our SAP management. Great
Anyway, one more day, enjoying a MS-free life.

Coded a Y2K counter in JavaScript for the companies webpage.

Changed some firewall entries.

3rd august 1999

Read much about firewalling concepts and comparisions between
different firewalls and proxies.

2nd august 1999

My first day working for the new company.

A little bit stressy, nothing is coordinated for me,
no entrancecard, no timecard, no email, no server-id
working. No telephone and no one has time to care for.
Great work, I’m impressed.

Used the “spare” time to tune up my new computer at work.
Installed Netscape/Perl/PilotDesk/FW1-GUI aso.

1st august 1999

Played with my camera which is now supported in gphoto.
A lot of pictures extracted and converted into HTML
galleries.

Configured the PGP OpenKeyServer on www.stun.de, and it WORKS !
Yeah !
(Linked the howtos into the admin tree.)

Prepared everything for entering my new company tomorrow.

31st august 1999

the RC5-Proxy flushing. It’s now lightning faster and I cannot
reproduce
any timeouts, so I also changed the config on ns.stun.de.

17th july 1999

Had my garden BBQ party with a lot of my friends and old
coworkers.

16th july 1999

Celebrated the 50th anniversary of a friend of the family.
A very hard day… and a more hard night Party !

15th july 1999

Aya said that she’ll come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH !!!!!

Rewrote the Net-Fu scripts for Linux.Stun.de,
configured more on the Rsync services and changed the Howtos.

Tried to make some menu buttons for Linux.Stun.de, but see by
yourself.

Met with Gerd, Tom and Flo at Shananigans Irish Pub a had a lot of
fun
because when I ordered Woodys, they said that they don’t do woodys
anymore,
when I asked for a chicken salad they answered that they have no
power in the
kitchen, and finally when Gerd ordered Guiness, they told him that
they
just can serve cans because it’s empty. )))))) What a day….
Anyway we had a lot of fun.

14th july 1999

Did a lot of shopping today.

Managing insurance for Aya.

Compiled 2.2.10 for www.stun.de and eliminated the use of modules
completely.
Memory is now detected automatically, and a 60 seconds panic reboot
is added.
Updated the Kernel Howto.

13th july 1999

Finally wrote and sent the invitation for the garden BBQ party on
next
saturday.

Managed my outstanding holiday to be paid, becuase my new company
doesn’t
accept holiday in august, which would be the only possibility by
law.

Have to go to the foreign office again, and do some more paper
work.
(Information about insurances and so on. Arrival dates…)

12th july 1999

Read some amazing news about the CSC key cracking contest,
there’s a price money of 10000 Euro for the one who cracks
the
56-bit cipher.

Exploded a little bit about Aya’s letter.
And wrote a embassy-howto.

Seen Matrix on cinema. WOW !
It’s a real Gibson, in my eyes.
But the Neuromancer trilogy is better, IMHO.

9th to 11th july 1999

Doing a little bit vacancy this time, and going near Hannover
from
high noon on until late sunday.

Refilled the Keyproxy and fetched enough buffers for the next
three
days, I hope.

Tomorrow will be the love parade in Berlin, programmed my VCR, take
a
look at www.love-parade.de.
This time it seems to be the last time in Berlin.
Cetin, I wish you much fun, which car is it this time ?

8th july 1999

Aya shocked me a little bit as she said that she doesn’t know what
to do
with the embassy papers…. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool down Andy, cool down….. girls… ts ts ts….

OK, so what did I do the rest of the day ? Hmmm,
looked for some new furniture, but I wanted to let Aya decide
which
she likes better. I need a designer for my flat. Anyone out there
?

7th july 1999

Burned a lot of MP3 CD’s from Tom.

Wrote to Mel, Naoko and Aya.

6th july 1999

My last day working for my old company, so I celebrated a little
bit
with my coworkers eating cake and drinking champaign.
Just call it tradition ))

Made a backup of my old computer at work. Just in case, someone is
killing
this machine while I’m on holiday.

Recorded a new MD, this time absolutely digital via SP/DIV.

Gone to bed really early.

5th july 1999

Visited my old boss for the last time, and gave back all the
companies
properties, like my good old linux laptop. (((((((

I wonder why he was so surprised that tomorrow is my last day
working ?

4th july 1999

Recompiled 2.2.10 because of a problem with my ISDN/Soundblaster
conflict.
I wonder why it’s not possible to recompile parts of modules, maybe
it’s
just a problem of the soundcore library.

ReDiscovered LIRC (The “Linux Infrared Remote Control” Project)
which now offers a
X11AMP Plugin to remote control your MP3 player. Nice

3rd july 1999

Set up NTP for my local machine and www.stun.de, now we have always
the correct
time on our server. (Next thing is to program an internet time
converter,
to display the internet beat “@XXX” on our homepage. See
www.swatch.com
if you don’t know what I’m talking about.)

Met with Gerd and Eva and went together to the little octoberfest
in Munich.
Hey Reyk and Tom whats up with your phones ?
After some american/chinese snacks we ended up at Shananigans Irish
Pub.

2nd july 1999

Played a little bit with Alan’s PortalOO, a news collector similar
to mine,
but with complete xml support. Failed to compile some modules
because of
missing libraries. (I guess you need the rawhide cut, to compile
these.)

I feel so sick…. ((
maybe too much chocolate anyway,
good night it’s 3 AM now….

…after a while sleeping like dead…

Got my digital photos on paper now. And WOW ! it’s amazing good
quality
much more than I expected.

Tried to get some RedHat updates via ncftp but it’s dumping core
all the time ?????
And my preferred Rsync service offers no updates yet. Damn.

Finished all the paperwork for my old company and started sorting
some of the
new contract documents and all the papers for Aya.

1st july 1999

Played around with the UDMSearch templates.
And finally managed to index php3 pages as well.
(Watch your Mysql-log !!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s increasing dramatically
when indexing.
Better to link it to /dev/null at that time.)

Emergency at work because of our biggest server crashed
again.
And we had some mysterious Volume problems, four workstations saw
different
data on the volumes. (Even DOS-Command and Explorer Output were
different.)

Failed to activate FastEthernet on a special server for the fifth
time now,
something must be damaged with this system. Maybe an interrupt
problem, or
a damaged driver module binary ?

31st july 1999

My last free day. Holiday is over.
(And there was this man of that marriage party, whose words
said:
…my last free day… A.Busch)

Big Scampi BBQ in the garden. Made some pictures.
Downloaded the new gphoto package which now works wth my
DC240.

30th july 1999

))

Met with my former coworker Cetian, ate Pizza together and

Made a list of all the asian shops around munich.
Maybe I’ll publish this somewhere on the web. I couldn’t find
something like that anywhere.

Tidied up my room and through away most of the old computer
magazines and books, which are not Y2K compliant in my eyes
))

28th july 1999

Food shopping and great cooking day. I made pictures of all work
steps
waiting for gphotos DC240 driver to HTMLize those pictures.

Saw japanese anime on Vox, in original japanese language, wow
impressive,
what’s going on, this is the third movie within the last two
weeks,
which is japanese original with german subtitles. All on german
TV-stations.
Of course recorded them all on tape(not yet harddisk, are you
kidding?)
for Aya.

27th july 1999

Big shopping day, bought two new suits and much much more.

Found chocolate tea, honey met and spicy lemonade….
interesting isn’t it ? )))))

Bought plates and bowls with kanjis on it.

Installed the Falken BBS for Linux on the Stun.de server,
it’s just for testing and not a serious BBS, not even
planned.
But it brings back the good old Mailboxing days via SSh ))

26th july 1999

Installed my Satellite system as it should be the professional
way,
without cabling on the fly throughout my whole room ))))

Rewrote the stun.de howto sor secure shell encrypted tunnel
connections.
(Should be more easy to understand now.)

Downloaded FalkenBBS software for Linux, which should bring back
the
good old mailbox times into the webbrowser. Be patient.

25th july 1999

ups….

for my
application to the new company.

Visited some friends of the family in Marquatstein.

20th july 1999

Tried to compile gISDN but again… some components missing.
GTK– 1.0.1 is required, but only 1.0.0 is developed right
now,
changing the script to 1.0.0 doesn’t help. cool ne ?

Installed Civilization2 on Linux and played some rounds. Nice,
nice.
I wonder how this behaves in a network environment.

19th july 1999

gPhoto has now my DC240 camera in the CVS tree, I tried to compile,
but
there seems to be a lot of definitions missing. HMMM ????

Added bavarian language as well as the first part of japanese

30th june 1999

Installed the UdmSearch-Engine on WWW.Stun.de, which IMHO is much
better and lightning
faster than the Excite WS one. It works with PHP3 and MySQL and the
generated Index is
much smaller. (And it’s small and fast, a russian program, perfect
!!!!)

Installed the UdmSearch-Engine also on my local machine and deleted
Excite.
It’s so much space now

I finally found a useful howto to the gnuplot tool, although
everything is written
in japanese there, I had no big problems to find the right
explanations.
Fixed the gnuplot date display and finished the Linux-Developement
graph script.
Also did some minor updates to the virtual webserver statistic
graphs, more space
on the left side, lines instead of boxes and smaller zoom.

Now localized all my dual celeron project components, so I can buy
them this week,
maybe. I’m just thinking if it’s not better to buy an alpha machine
for almost the
same money ? Board+533Alpha=2400.- DM 2Cel466+Board+Socket=1600.-
DM ????? Hmmm.

29th june 1999

“Expect” is still not working, out of PTY’s, I can’t believe
I compiled in 512 now in the kernel, instead of the usual
256,
and my former 64 setting. So there must be a library problem
too.
Obviously in libexpect5.28.so.

Finally I’m ill. And I feel much down….

28th june 1999

Started programming of the Kernel-Developement Graph Plotter,
and it works, except for the Gnuplot date axis.
Can someone help me with this please, the demo code from NASA
is gone, and I almost gave up hacking to format the x-axis
as a date graph. “set timefmt” and “set xdata time” doesn’t
work.

Wrote a shellscript to tail-f the actual RC5 Proxylog.
Fascinated by the ease of use I’ll complete a HTML generation
in the next days I guess.

Downloaded some new japanese songs from Riechan.
Of course using Greed and not a browser.

Rebootet my machine, and see …. no more IP delayed timing
problems. So I hope that someone keeps tracking this
behaviour
after some productiv uptime. In my case 7 days and high load
up to 3.2 and little network traffic 260kB/s was enough.

27th june 1999

Enhanced the spidercode and wrote some howtos.
Updated the Stun.de Hardware Page.

Mirrored some of the japanese cooking pages from the web.

Transferred the completed Boogie BIO’s to Boogie.Stun.de.

Copied my digital photos to Andys.Stun.de.

26th june 1999

More programming for www.stun.de. This time, did some updates
to the linux news section, with complete rewrite of the
caching
and polling code. Now it’s much more efficient, and no more
timeouts can occur. Also included the spider tracking engine,
which should end in a statistic page to count browser usage.

25th june 1999

Took a lot of pictures with the digital camera in our garden,
and discovered that transferring the pictures via the
pcmcia-adapter
of my laptop really is the final, solution.
(Accessing via drive letter, cool, and lightning fast.
No chance for USB and ASYNC.)

Did a lot of PHP3-programming for www.stun.de, (admins) see
the
last.php3 page for the code. It accepts a path value which
displays
all files in this path with the last modified date and
additionally
changing colors for updates within the last day, week or
month.
Further I included a nameserver-query page, and a manual page
viewer,
also just for admins.

24th june 1999

“It’s Backupday, my favourite day…” (Do you know
Bastard Operator from Hell?)
Again started backup on 60m tapes and it now works.

After tetsting Kernel 2.2.10 for a while, it seems that the IP
timing problem
from 2.2.2 is back. So I think we stay on 2.2.9 with the DoS
security patch
on WWW.Stun.de.

Got my Digital camera today, a Kodak DC240 and shot a lot of
pictures, but I
cannot publish them yet, first because of to less diskspace on
netsurf, and
second because of the nonworking gphoto.
By the way, serial transmission costs so much power that I want to
wait for
USB support being stable under Linux.

Finally gave up playing with the camera because the bundled video
cable is
for the DC265 and not DC240. Great !

My ISP Netsurf is again unreachable, so that’s finally why it has
become more
cheap last month.

23rd june 1999

Bought one of these always talking furbies, to got some
entertainment,
when hacking on my boogie code. Ups, he’s awake again… saying
“Huu !”
I think I’ll connect him to the computer someday and enhance
his
sensores.

Sent away the embassy-papers and package for Aya.

Found a lot of circuits on the internet for building small
toy(study)-robots.
I printed them all and will start reconstructing some of
them.

Switched two netware servers from token-ring to
fast-ethernet.

Backuped WWW.Stun.de, and encountered problems with 120m tapes. Hmm
?

Got NFS working on Zuse1 to backup from WWW.Stun.de.

“Furby is going to sleep, now…. ts ts ts, great entertainment”
))

Downloaded gphoto, and discovered that the Kodak DC240
support
is not even comitted in the CVS tree. Maybe in a few weeks…
?

22nd june 1999

Bought some of the last components for my MP3-Player.

Did some minor updates to the boogie pages on Boogie.Stun.de.

Will compile 2.2.10 for WWW.Stun.de this evening, I guess.
(I didn’t.)

21st june 1999

Ordered my digital still cam Kodak DC240. But I do hard,
waiting…..

Sound doesn’t work anymore, with 2.2.10… hmmm, looks like a
dependecy
problem. Had no time yet to track down further.

My notice is now official, and everyone knows that I quit my old
job.

The embassy papers for Aya are on their way. Hopefully.

(So I hope everyone can understand my stress in the last weeks, and
that
there are not that much boogie updates as usual in the last
time.
Sorry guys.)

Internet works this evening, and people who must know, told me that
the
german IN-XS, one of the major german internet backbones, got
smoked.
)) Wow, this is how it must be the day
after. (Just additionally
without telephone and electric power.) Hmm, not nice.

20th june 1999

Still no connection to the internet.

Uli called me and ask for Netsurf (our internet provider)
20 minutes after KAP called me and asked the same.
Maybe it would be better if I do the support for Netsurf,
by myself ??? ))))) Am I callcenter or what ?

I start to wonder why my provider decreased the monthly fee.

Reyk also called me, at night, if I can access their webpages
(online stocks) and he sounded quite nervous…. keep cool,
it seems that the whole german internet or at least some of
the
bigger providers are heavily knocked out.

Is that the punishment for not joining the internet
demonstration
day a week ago ????

Uli PPPpolled my machine and downloaded the new linux kernel
via FTP. So who needs providers, we can do it by ourselves.

Therefore nothing to do. Tried to upgrade to the new
raidtools,
but it doesn’t seem to work. It’s still invalid argument,
even when completely new created.

19th june 1999

A hard they working, almost 14 hours.
After upgrading some SCSI-drivers I experienced a BIOS
problem,
which doesn’t allow my old drivers to run on an old
hardware…
very obscure… I’ll write an explanation on monday, I think.

Bad day. My internet connection is broken….
And my RC5 is running out of keys.

18th june 1999

Today I got my MP3 hardware for constructing my own player,
but I’m missing some minor components as well as a software
to
run it from linux.

17th june 1999

Sent my notice today.

Big shopping for suit and shoes.

16th june 1999

Emergency call at 4AM, uhh I hate that.
Slept the rest of the day.

When I woke up it was time to compile 2.2.10

15th june 1999

Got all the documents from the foreign office.
Now it’s Aya’s turn, and mine for insurance.

14th june 1999

Tried to get the visa application for Aya at the foreign
office,
but I missed to bring some important documents….
Sooooo, I’ll try again tomorrow maybe. Hopefully.

Developed a new feature for linux.stun.de which is a
graphical
prediction for the upcoming linux kernels.
It looks nice as an excel diagram, but now it has to be
converted
in mathematical functions used by PHP3.

Got mail from Aya. Yeah !!!!!!!!
She’s working so hard 13.6hours on one day this week……
I think most europeans would go crazy…… like me….

Finished converting the boogie biography database which is
now
exactly 300KB in size. Now the next step will be to include
all
the update from my huge eMail archive, and after the event
browser
will be a big step, supporter and contacts db will follow
later.

13th june 1999

Gone for vietnamese dinner by bike together with Tom, and
we enjoyed mixed meat/fish soup-fondue.

The last students festival day, really nice again…
I hope that Aya will join me to go there in the next year.

Downloaded GREED which makes it possible to do HTTP and FTP
batch transfers via cron. This method is much better than
getting news from various sites directly via PHP3.
Now there’s no possibility of long timeouts when some of
the server side included (remote)files are not available.

No more programming this night, soooo tired…..

12th june 1999

Did some more updates to the boogie database which is now
257KB
and including the letters H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,T,U,V,W,X and
Y.
Or to make it more simple, everything except letter S which
has
the most bio-information(too much conversion needed).

I also had to repair a part of the database after I
discovered
that the FaceMySQL-Scripts don’t care how much entries will
be
updated if you don’t select via the primary key.
(LIMIT=1 would have been enough for my needs…. ts ts ts…)

Also discovered that some players are missing, hmmm….
how could that happen ? I don’t even copy and paste
everything,
instead I write batches from the old pages.

11th june 1999

Did some conversions on the boogie database and created a new
table for credits and supporters.
Letter A,B,C,D,E,F,G and Z are finished now. Hard work….
(
The current database size is 110KB now.

After repairing some crashed servers at work, I went to the
1999
Stustaculum (Annual Students Festival) see: Program
and I met there with Thomas.

10th june 1999

Answered a lot of boogie mails…
no time for programming….

Installed SPDIF for digital audio copy from PC(MP3) to MD,
but had no time yet to test it.

From today on there’s a big student event until sunday,
try searching for StuStaCulum 99 on Excite.de to see the
program. About 50 bands playing all for free.

I’ll go there with Thomas and Gerd from tomorrow on.
I hope the wheater stays a little bit sunny these days.

9th june 1999

Had much stress at work because of a few more server crashes
and
emergency meetings.

Reyk visited me at work and presented me his new digital still
camera.
Wow, I hope that you can get a linux driver for that.
Try looking for gPhoto on the web.

After work we went together to the Shoya Sushi bar, and to
our
great surprise there was Roberto Blanco sitting back to back with
me.
it seems that he also knows the good points for having dinner.

Finally we finished the day at O’Reillys…

8th june 1999

Really good day. no further comment,
those one of you will know.

More Final Fantasy to become relaxed….

7th june 1999

Discovered that my Boogie-MySQL script is broken !!!!
AHHHHH !!!! PANIC !!!!!!!
Had no time to fix this yet.

Worked overtime, because I had to do some reboots and patches
to our biggest netware server.
I can’t believe Novell released a patch for 3.x/4.x which
exactly describes our problems, just 5 days ago, for a
product
which is almost 5 years old. Ts ts ts….

But anyway, the patch doesn’t work…. (((

6th june 1999

Played Final Fantasy VII…. bad idea….
5 hours later wrote the diary for last week,
and gone to bed.

Tried to get the G2-Player to work.
But, you can’t register without connection
to the internet VIA PROXY in my case.
But, you cannot save the configured proxy
as long as you’re not registered.

So what should I do ?

>rm /home/andy/G2-*.tgz
>df

Who needs Web videos ?
I’ve got television… ))))

5th june 1999

Some more HTML writing for Stun.de.

Joined the Union Move, Munichs own LoveParade.
Much noise, techno music is getting boring…

Had nice dinner with Tom in the Outback australian bar.
(Nice memories….)

Finished the day with an ultra strong peppermint tea
in the Marrakesh at the Kunstpark Ost.

4th june 1999

Included different News-Tickers on the Linux.Stun.de
pages to automatically generate news pages via PHP3.

Tried to set up bugzilla, but my perl modules for apache
seem to fail…. I HATE IT !
New compilation again ?
I already wrote a 3 KB script to do this for me,
because it takes too long time to do everything
by hand if there’s an error while compiling.

3rd june 1999

Wrote some cluster pages for Linux.Stun.de

Played around with on-the-fly button generation
with TTF fonts via PHP3.

More Final Fantasy VII… I wonder how this would look
like on a playstation/2. Photorealistic ?

2nd june 1999

Big problems compiling DBI, the MySQL modules and
Chart. Also GD doesn’t seem to work on GLIBC2.1
systems.

1st june 1999

Installed new RC5 clients.
Updated TWIG.

30th june 1999

Installed the UdmSearch-Engine on WWW.Stun.de, which IMHO is much
better and lightning
faster than the Excite WS one. It works with PHP3 and MySQL and the
generated Index is
much smaller. (And it’s small and fast, a russian program, perfect
!!!!)

Installed the UdmSearch-Engine also on my local machine and deleted
Excite.
It’s so much space now

I finally found a useful howto to the gnuplot tool, although
everything is written
in japanese there, I had no big problems to find the right
explanations.
Fixed the gnuplot date display and finished the Linux-Developement
graph script.
Also did some minor updates to the virtual webserver statistic
graphs, more space
on the left side, lines instead of boxes and smaller zoom.

Now localized all my dual celeron project components, so I can buy
them this week,
maybe. I’m just thinking if it’s not better to buy an alpha machine
for almost the
same money ? Board+533Alpha=2400.- DM 2Cel466+Board+Socket=1600.-
DM ????? Hmmm.

29th june 1999

“Expect” is still not working, out of PTY’s, I can’t believe
I compiled in 512 now in the kernel, instead of the usual
256,
and my former 64 setting. So there must be a library problem
too.
Obviously in libexpect5.28.so.

Finally I’m ill. And I feel much down….

28th june 1999

Started programming of the Kernel-Developement Graph Plotter,
and it works, except for the Gnuplot date axis.
Can someone help me with this please, the demo code from NASA
is gone, and I almost gave up hacking to format the x-axis
as a date graph. “set timefmt” and “set xdata time” doesn’t
work.

Wrote a shellscript to tail-f the actual RC5 Proxylog.
Fascinated by the ease of use I’ll complete a HTML generation
in the next days I guess.

Downloaded some new japanese songs from Riechan.
Of course using Greed and not a browser.

Rebootet my machine, and see …. no more IP delayed timing
problems. So I hope that someone keeps tracking this
behaviour
after some productiv uptime. In my case 7 days and high load
up to 3.2 and little network traffic 260kB/s was enough.

27th june 1999

Enhanced the spidercode and wrote some howtos.
Updated the Stun.de Hardware Page.

Mirrored some of the japanese cooking pages from the web.

Transferred the completed Boogie BIO’s to Boogie.Stun.de.

Copied my digital photos to Andys.Stun.de.

26th june 1999

More programming for www.stun.de. This time, did some updates
to the linux news section, with complete rewrite of the
caching
and polling code. Now it’s much more efficient, and no more

viewer,
also just for admins.

24th june 1999

“It’s Backupday, my favourite day…” (Do you know
Bastard Operator from Hell?)
Again started backup on 60m tapes and it now works.

After tetsting Kernel 2.2.10 for a while, it seems that the IP
timing problem
from 2.2.2 is back. So I think we stay on 2.2.9 with the DoS
security patch
on WWW.Stun.de.

Got my Digital camera today, a Kodak DC240 and shot a lot of
pictures, but I
cannot publish them yet, first because of to less diskspace on
netsurf, and
second because of the nonworking gphoto.
By the way, serial transmission costs so much power that I want to
wait for
USB support being stable under Linux.

Finally gave up playing with the camera because the bundled video
cable is
for the DC265 and not DC240. Great !

My ISP Netsurf is again unreachable, so that’s finally why it has
become more
cheap last month.

23rd june 1999

Bought one of these always talking furbies, to got some
entertainment,
when hacking on my boogie code. Ups, he’s awake again… saying
“Huu !”
I think I’ll connect him to the computer someday and enhance
his
sensores.

Sent away the embassy-papers and package for Aya.

Found a lot of circuits on the internet for building small
toy(study)-robots.
I printed them all and will start reconstructing some of
them.

Switched two netware servers from token-ring to
fast-ethernet.

Backuped WWW.Stun.de, and encountered problems with 120m tapes. Hmm
?

Got NFS working on Zuse1 to backup from WWW.Stun.de.

“Furby is going to sleep, now…. ts ts ts, great entertainment”
))

Downloaded gphoto, and discovered that the Kodak DC240
support
is not even comitted in the CVS tree. Maybe in a few weeks…
?

22nd june 1999

Bought some of the last components for my MP3-Player.

Did some minor updates to the boogie pages on Boogie.Stun.de.

Will compile 2.2.10 for WWW.Stun.de this evening, I guess.
(I didn’t.)

21st june 1999

Ordered my digital still cam Kodak DC240. But I do hard,
waiting…..

Sound doesn’t work anymore, with 2.2.10… hmmm, looks like a
dependecy
problem. Had no time yet to track down further.

My notice is now official, and everyone knows that I quit my old
job.

The embassy papers for Aya are on their way. Hopefully.

(So I hope everyone can understand my stress in the last weeks, and
that
there are not that much boogie updates as usual in the last
time.
Sorry guys.)

Internet works this evening, and people who must know, told me that
the
german IN-XS, one of the major german internet backbones, got
smoked.
)) Wow, this is how it must be the day
after. (Just additionally
without telephone and electric power.) Hmm, not nice.

20th june 1999

Still no connection to the internet.

Uli called me and ask for Netsurf (our internet provider)
20 minutes after KAP called me and asked the same.
Maybe it would be better if I do the support for Netsurf,
by myself ??? ))))) Am I callcenter or what ?

I start to wonder why my provider decreased the monthly fee.

Reyk also called me, at night, if I can access their webpages
(online stocks) and he sounded quite nervous…. keep cool,
it seems that the whole german internet or at least some of
the
bigger providers are heavily knocked out.

Is that the punishment for not joining the internet
demonstration
day a week ago ????

Uli PPPpolled my machine and downloaded the new linux kernel
via FTP. So who needs providers, we can do it by ourselves.

Therefore nothing to do. Tried to upgrade to the new
raidtools,
but it doesn’t seem to work. It’s still invalid argument,
even when completely new created.

19th june 1999

A hard they working, almost 14 hours.
After upgrading some SCSI-drivers I experienced a BIOS
problem,
which doesn’t allow my old drivers to run on an old
hardware…
very obscure… I’ll write an explanation on monday, I think.

Bad day. My internet connection is broken….
And my RC5 is running out of keys.

18th june 1999

Today I got my MP3 hardware for constructing my own player,
but I’m missing some minor components as well as a software
to
run it from linux.

17th june 1999

Sent my notice today.

Big shopping for suit and shoes.

16th june 1999

Emergency call at 4AM, uhh I hate that.
Slept the rest of the day.

When I woke up it was time to compile 2.2.10

15th june 1999

Got all the documents from the foreign office.
Now it’s Aya’s turn, and mine for insurance.

14th june 1999

Tried to get the visa application for Aya at the foreign
office,
but I missed to bring some important documents….
Sooooo, I’ll try again tomorrow maybe. Hopefully.

Developed a new feature for linux.stun.de which is a
graphical
prediction for the upcoming linux kernels.
It looks nice as an excel diagram, but now it has to be
converted
in mathematical functions used by PHP3.

Got mail from Aya. Yeah !!!!!!!!
She’s working so hard 13.6hours on one day this week……
I think most europeans would go crazy…… like me….

Finished converting the boogie biography database which is
now
exactly 300KB in size. Now the next step will be to include
all
the update from my huge eMail archive, and after the event
browser
will be a big step, supporter and contacts db will follow
later.

13th june 1999

Gone for vietnamese dinner by bike together with Tom, and
we enjoyed mixed meat/fish soup-fondue.

The last students festival day, really nice again…
I hope that Aya will join me to go there in the next year.

Downloaded GREED which makes it possible to do HTTP and FTP
batch transfers via cron. This method is much better than
getting news from various sites directly via PHP3.
Now there’s no possibility of long timeouts when some of
the server side included (remote)files are not available.

No more programming this night, soooo tired…..

12th june 1999

Did some more updates to the boogie database which is now
257KB
and including the letters H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,T,U,V,W,X and
Y.
Or to make it more simple, everything except letter S which
has
the most bio-information(too much conversion needed).

I also had to repair a part of the database after I
discovered
that the FaceMySQL-Scripts don’t care how much entries will
be
updated if you don’t select via the primary key.
(LIMIT=1 would have been enough for my needs…. ts ts ts…)

Also discovered that some players are missing, hmmm….
how could that happen ? I don’t even copy and paste
everything,
instead I write batches from the old pages.

11th june 1999

Did some conversions on the boogie database and created a new
table for credits and supporters.
Letter A,B,C,D,E,F,G and Z are finished now. Hard work….
(
The current database size is 110KB now.

After repairing some crashed servers at work, I went to the
1999
Stustaculum (Annual Students Festival) see: Program
and I met there with Thomas.

10th june 1999

Answered a lot of boogie mails…
no time for programming….

Installed SPDIF for digital audio copy from PC(MP3) to MD,
but had no time yet to test it.

From today on there’s a big student event until sunday,
try searching for StuStaCulum 99 on Excite.de to see the
program. About 50 bands playing all for free.

I’ll go there with Thomas and Gerd from tomorrow on.
I hope the wheater stays a little bit sunny these days.

9th june 1999

Had much stress at work because of a few more server crashes
and
emergency meetings.

Reyk visited me at work and presented me his new digital still
camera.
Wow, I hope that you can get a linux driver for that.
Try looking for gPhoto on the web.

After work we went together to the Shoya Sushi bar, and to
our
great surprise there was Roberto Blanco sitting back to back with
me.
it seems that he also knows the good points for having dinner.

Finally we finished the day at O’Reillys…

8th june 1999

Really good day. no further comment,
those one of you will know.

More Final Fantasy to become relaxed….

7th june 1999

Discovered that my Boogie-MySQL script is broken !!!!
AHHHHH !!!! PANIC !!!!!!!
Had no time to fix this yet.

Worked overtime, because I had to do some reboots and patches
to our biggest netware server.
I can’t believe Novell released a patch for 3.x/4.x which
exactly describes our problems, just 5 days ago, for a
product
which is almost 5 years old. Ts ts ts….

But anyway, the patch doesn’t work…. (((

6th june 1999

Played Final Fantasy VII…. bad idea….
5 hours later wrote the diary for last week,
and gone to bed.

Tried to get the G2-Player to work.
But, you can’t register without connection
to the internet VIA PROXY in my case.
But, you cannot save the configured proxy
as long as you’re not registered.

So what should I do ?

>rm /home/andy/G2-*.tgz
>df

Who needs Web videos ?
I’ve got television… ))))

5th june 1999

Some more HTML writing for Stun.de.

Joined the Union Move, Munichs own LoveParade.
Much noise, techno music is getting boring…

Had nice dinner with Tom in the Outback australian bar.
(Nice memories….)

Finished the day with an ultra strong peppermint tea
in the Marrakesh at the Kunstpark Ost.

4th june 1999

Included different News-Tickers on the Linux.Stun.de
pages to automatically generate news pages via PHP3.

Tried to set up bugzilla, but my perl modules for apache
seem to fail…. I HATE IT !
New compilation again ?
I already wrote a 3 KB script to do this for me,
because it takes too long time to do everything
by hand if there’s an error while compiling.

3rd june 1999

Wrote some cluster pages for Linux.Stun.de

Played around with on-the-fly button generation
with TTF fonts via PHP3.

More Final Fantasy VII… I wonder how this would look
like on a playstation/2. Photorealistic ?

2nd june 1999

Big problems compiling DBI, the MySQL modules and
Chart. Also GD doesn’t seem to work on GLIBC2.1
systems.

1st june 1999

Installed new RC5 clients.
Updated TWIG.

31th may 1999

More server crashes today…
it seems that the processor itself is the problem.

Signed Aya in for the language school from november on.
I hope that she’ll decide to come…
Kiss you, darling.

30th may 1999

Compiled Apache1.3.6 again with PHP3.0.8 and IMAP+SSL-Support now
working ! YEAH !!!
Configured TWIG (a fabulous eMail-Webfrontend with almost the same
features like Outlook)
and installed everything new compiled on www.stun.de.

Facts of the day:
– SSL now works with our own certificate,
– IMAP(TWIG) works with SSL-Connections,
– more Admin Howto’s written,
– Boogie Database Code Updates (now with auto indexing + improved
database access),
– fixed some script-errors which occured since the RH6 upgrade,
(what are they doing ?)

Talked to Uli on the phone who experienced some trouble when
compiling gtk+ with gimp.

Called to Aya and she seemed to busy and tired again…. go on
work, work, work,
some people need their time to get wiser.

Making MD for Aya and CD for Tomo.

29th may 1999

Lazy day, just enjoying the BBQ in my garden.

28th may 1999

Called to school if they also have holidays. They don’t !

27th may 1999

More than good day for me.

Received Aya’s school papers, finally.
Thanks, that’s what I needed to loose my nervousity.

Invited my parents for dinner.

No programming

26th may 1999

Can’t remember, sorry.

25th may 1999

Wrote some scripts to fill the boogie database automatically.

Gave some hints to RedHat 6.0 Bugzilla, concerning RAID
problems
after upgrading.

Hotmail seems to be crashed AGAIN ??? ))) (OS-Problem ???)
Damn, I need this to stay in contact with my beauty.
(maybe yesterdays letter fault)

And I’m still waiting for Aya’s translation papers… HEY WHAT ARE
YOU DOING ???

24th may 1999

Holiday.
Aya wrote me a long letter, and I wrote a really long letter back
to her.

Tried to compile Apache again with SSL in addition, and
guess.
It failed… Grrrrrrrrrrrrr…………..
(maybe it’s just because lack of diskspace)
The 6.0 update is eating up my drives. And I install very
selective.

23th may 1999

Repaired my Raid after a failed upgrade of Redhat 5.2 to 6.0.
The new 0.90 raidtools don’t know the old raidpartitions,
and the bloody RPM deleted my old ckraid and raidrun
commands.
So it was a little bit tricky the get back my disks.
(But I’m sure that I’m not the only.)

22th may 1999

Downloaded the whole RedHat 6.0 via Rsync.
Hey I love that tool. Kill FTP.

Installed MySQL on www.stun.de.

Installed the boogie database on www.stun.de.

Wrote some new admin pages for MySQL and PHP3 on www.stun.de.

21th may 1999

Extracted all the boogie bio’s from the old HTML pages.

Compiled Apache with PHP3 and MySQL support, which now, finally
works
without errors. Transferred everything to www.stun.de.

20th may 1999

Wrote the PHP3 code for displaying the boogie woogie players
biographies
out of the MySQL database. And it works fine (after some
tuning).

19th may 1999

Upgraded the RC5-proxies to 3.06 and also some clients which now
can
switch to OGR as well.

18th may 1999

Compiled 2.2.9 kernel on zuse1 and www.stun.de

Played around with the setiathome package, but it seems they
compiled
without proxy support. Bad luck, maybe next version.

17th may 1999

Stress day. Three Server crashes within the same hour.
Discovered wrong configured encapsulations for hot standby
routing.

16th may 1999

Emergency at work, our backbones need help.

15th may 1999

Weekend Work… ((
Power shutdown at work, and Reconfiguration of a netware
server.

14th may 1999

Prepared the power shutdown for tomorrow.

13th may 1999
Had to work on this holy day, but thanks god nothing more
then a couple of server crashs and in the meantime found
some quiet minutes to study more japanese vocabulary.
Also found out how to fix my BTTV problem, which crashes
the whole machine after 10-25 minutes, and DESTROYS
my Soft-RAID !!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
(So all folks of you with the same problem try loading
bttv with TRITON1=1 and it should be fixed, hopefully,
because I’m 100 pc sure not to own a Triton board…)
Kernelpatch 2.2.8 arrived at home, but had no time yet to
patch and compile.

12th may 1999
Continued burning CD’s while playing the japanese version
of Bushido Blade II on my playstation. Hey I love that game,
it’s rather bloody but who cares….
Talked with Reyk on the phone and it looks like we agreed
a new date of installation for the FFM-Server, YES FFM again
!
We’re also thinking of using Soft-RAID with 9GB disks,
but I’m scared about power shortage problems.
Met with Tom and Gerd at O’Reillys Irish Pub, thought that
Reyk and Babsi would join, but they didn’t ? What’s up ?

11th may 1999
Big burning day, so many japanese CD’s )))
Blasted Muckis playstation when installing the mc, but I’m
sure
not to be responsible, because someone already tried this
before, according to the soldering points.

10th may 1999
Free day, because of my coming emergency support week.
Did big big big big big big big shopping….expensive too,
just for food.
Worked in our garden, cleaning the roof and finished the day
in chinese restaurant across the street. Yammi.

9th may 1999
Called Aya this morning 3AM my time, 10AM japan time,
but she doesn’t seem to have much time for me. ((( Heiki ?
Demonstrated MD to my parents, and totally fascinated they
want this to be their xmas present this year… hmmm… ok.
Throw away that tape stuff, throw away old records.
Time for small smart mini discs.

8th may 1999
Converted lots of CD’s and MP3 songs to MiniDisc, especially
all the Japan songs, to get karaoke feeling for my morning
shower ))
Called to Aya as every Saturday, but she said that she feels
bad and tired, and I should call her in the morning. Odaiji ni
!

7th may 1999
Made a complete backup of our MP3 server to ZIP media,
which is very hard work ! Don’t try this, it’s easier to
connect
a cd-recorder directly instead.
Burned 3 new MP3-CD’s at home, so now the FPS collection
counts 15 MP3 CD’s all together. 250 hours of music ))))

6th may 1999

Reyk is ill, and can not join the Linux show.
The Microsoft presentation of Windows 2000 was pretty
impressive, but Linux bored so much because of
incompetence sf the speaker.
I think he has never seen Linux before.
I already had my doubts when I saw Powerpoint as
the presentation software. ))

But anyway, a nice start for the day.
And also a nice present of the company, a big analog
clock, made in china, which is 5 minutes two fast
within two hours. But maybe it changes when the
batteries are going low. ))

Ate Sushi to get back that japanese feeling

5th may 1999

Some problems with our 3.11 SFT-III server at work,
I wonder how they’ll get this machine into Y2K ?

Bought a MD-recorder today. Also something that
disturbed my inner peace since Japan.
Aya tried to convince me to buy MD in Japan, and
Albert also tried, but at that time I could resist.
OK, Aya you won !!! Kiss !
Expect some MD-exchange the next weeks

Wanted to buy a dbox which makes it possible to
watch digital-TV and to see more foreign(english)
TV-stations. But it’s so expensive without signing
a contract for the additional use of PAY-TV.
So now it’s easy. KAP will give me Sat-Stuff on
Friday I guess, so that I can test a little bit.
There’s also japanese (PAYTV) on Astra I heard.
I think about it, for you Aya, if you need ?
Anyway I do….

4th may 1999

Got invitation for Linux and Microsoft trade show from Tom
at his company for 6th may.

Bought a CD-recorder today, and I’m so happy to get back
my valuable space on harddisk.

Searched for video-stores that sell or are able of ordering
japanese videos. But bad luck for today.

3rd may 1999

Wrong alarm again. My coworker still is not father yet.

2nd may 1999

Compiled Linux 2.2.7 on my system and on www.stun.de.
And hurray !!!
My CD-changer is now supported, which forced me to
reactivate the bloody IDE interfaces on board.

1st may 1999

Started the barbeque for this year in our garden.
It would have been something nice for you Aya ! ))

Had a nice cocktail party with Tom, and we cooked
together.

Called to Aya tonight, and she wants to send me her
translated documents. Sounds nice. I love you !

31th may 1999
