Handy reference covering some of the commands for configuring Microcore, and practical examples of how to make the configuration changes persistent across reboots.  Used as a reference (one of many) in configuring an OpenSSL CA and FreeRADIUS server for an  EAP-TLS wireless test environment

I think these could be really useful and are reasonably priced.  Sure, 10BT, but that’s plenty of bandwidth for a number of low volume devices.

IPv6 – Charter

Yet another tab that I need to make a note of and come back to at some point.  Interested to see how my Asus router with Tomato firmware does with IPv6, and to start spending some time getting familiar with the “new” protocol.

Writing Robust Bash Shell Scripts

Posted September 25, 2012 By Landis V

I’ve had this open in my browser for a long time now.  I think it’s one of those tabs that was well aligned with something I was doing at one time, but I have moved on and forgotten what it was that I was working on at that time.  Still, good content.  I often write shell scripts for some quick, one-off deal and never come back to them, but I always try to write them so they fail gracefully and safely if possible.  It doesn’t always work that way with time constraints, but it’s a good goal at least.

Didn’t really need the tab anymore at the moment, just wanted to record it as one of those things to come back to down the road if needed.

FireSSH :: Add-ons for Firefox

Handy little add-on for Firefox.  Can’t really speak well to its stability and functionality, as I almost always have PuTTY available on my system and configured for very convenient access, but it seems to be well-received, and it fits in well if you follow the “everything in a browser” mentality.  Definitely noteworthy that it supports tunneling.
