Smoked Chicken take 2Posted by Synfinatic on September 30, 2007 at 8:51 pm in Smokey!.This is my first blog post for my smoker log. My goal is to keep a record of what I cook, how I cook it and how it turns out. One chimney of hot coals. Smoker was placed in the shade, outdoor temp was mid-70s. Initially was running too hot (near 300F) before I put the chicken on, so I splashed a little water on the coals to bring the temp down. Two medium pieces of cherry for two 3.5lb chickens. Recipe calls for cooking 3:30-4hrs @ 200-220F. Tags: chicken, dinner
Replay through NATPosted by Synfinatic on September 26, 2007 at 9:30 pm in tcpreplay.Recently I was asked how to take a pcap and replay it through a firewall doing NAT. This is actually quite complicated since you’ve got to keep in your head about 4 different variables as well as a complicated test bed configuration. Tags: nat, tcpreplay, tcprewrite
Easy as 1 2 3…Posted by Synfinatic on September 24, 2007 at 10:09 pm in Cool.Another day, another Wordpress upgrade. Once again, for the most part pretty painless. The database schema change broke some custom code I wrote in my template, but turns out here’s a nice API call which does exactly the same thing. Tags: upgrade, wordpress
PHP & RailsPosted by Synfinatic on September 19, 2007 at 10:39 pm in Code, tcpreplay.I just made a number of small tweaks to the site layout and format which I think cleans things up a bit. The biggest change is the new Archives widget which makes organization a lot cleaner. On a side note, I’ve switched gears a little and put tcpreplay on hold while I start a new project called Cabernet. One of my guilty pleasures in life is wine and I have so many bottles that it’s actually hard to know what I have and where various bottles are. I hope Cabernet becomes an easy to use wine management system for individuals who have a few hundred to a few thousand bottles.
Good old-fashioned police workPosted by Synfinatic on September 14, 2007 at 3:52 pm in Politics.Recently, the US and German authorities stopped a potential attack on an American military base in Germany. The Bush administration’s top spymaster, Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell testified before Congress that the newly approved “Protect America Act” was in large part why they were able to stop the terrorists. But, like other people within the Bush administration who testify before Congress, McConnell seems to have lied about the whole thing.
