STAR post-mortem
Well I just got back from two great days at Jason Pridmore’s STAR School. This was my second time at STAR and was once again well worth my time and money. Unfortunately, on the second day my motor in my SV started having serious problems and ended my day a session early. Continue reading

Rejected!
As I expected, Tcpreplay was not accepted for the Google Summer of Code. Most likely because compared to many of the other mentoring organization applicants, Tcpreplay is not able to accept many students- hence the overhead is too high.
Of course, if you are a student (or anyone else for that matter) and are interested in working on Tcpreplay and learn about networking, I’m always willing to help people get up to speed on the code and contribute.

GSoC 2009
Well I decided to throw my hat into the ring for being a mentoring organization for the 2009 Google Summer of Code for Tcpreplay. Obviously Tcpreplay will be one of the smallest “organizations” to submit an application so I can’t say that I have high hopes of being accepted, but I figured it was worth a try. Continue reading

Weekend Saved!
I just got back from spending two days at Buttonwillow Raceway which is located about 125 miles north of LA off highway 5. The plan was to take my new-to-me SV650 racebike out on the track and get the suspension dialed and gremlins worked out in so I can do STAR School later in the month without having to worry about it during the school. Continue reading

Tcpreast! – whoops!
Due to a slight miscommunication, the audio recording equipment I was using for the Tcprecast! Video Podcast is no longer in my possession. Until I’m able to source a new USB microphone (supporting OS X) and pop filter, there won’t be any more podcasts. :(

Plug Computing == Cabernet Solution?
So I was just reading about Marvell’s Plug Computing solution. Basically a $100 (goal is to get the price point down to $50) Linux based computer in the form factor of a wall wart. First let me say this is really damn cool. Cheap, small form factor, low power and doesn’t try to do too much (no video output for example). Continue reading

Tcprecast! Episode #1
I’ve decided to get on the bus with all the cool kids and start my own video podcast called Tcprecast! I’m hoping to make Tcprecast! a how-to smorgasbord of all things Tcpreplay and then some. Continue reading

Great idea, bad example
So a buddy of mine at work (thanks Mike!) sent me this cool link about how to use real math to measure the complexity of user interfaces. I read the article (feel free to go read it now) and I loved the idea of quantitatively measuring the effort required to use a UI to determine how simple it is.
While I think Aza is on the right track, I’d like to point out how the devil is in the details and how hard it is to map theory to practice. Continue reading
