Dear Gerhard,

Thanks for all the things you have done for your family.

3DSupply with new Website?

Jesus shirtYesterday, my co-worker notified my about a promotion of 3DSupply and I recognized, that they have new design and you have also the choise to select from various models and colors for your shirts. I like the new site much more than the old.
For just speading they word, they offer to give a shirt (or any other item < 20 Eur) for free. So it seems to be a good idea to equip my dear wife, which is a teacher of catholic religion, with a new Jesus shirt.
Update: Today I got a reply from 3DSupply, stating that they deny the shirt request, cause I don’t have 10 posts in the last 6 month. As this is unfortunately true, due my always limited time, I can’t find this hard requirement in their terms. Looks like my blog doesn’t match their minimal requirements and I’m advised to equip my girls somewhere else with geekware. :o)

[fun] Integrate nagios users with system ones

While I normaly don’t care much about Ubuntu, I’m subscribed to lauchpad.net for the packages I’m involved within Debian.
Sometimes apears informative stuff there, which reminds me about my todos or just pointing me to real problems. Most of the time, I’m just ignoring the reports, as the are useless or just unrelated to me packages in Debian.
But in some cases the reports are just making my day.

[selfnote] Find the DUN Channel of your bluetooth device

In the last days, I replaced my Nokia E90 with a Nokia N97 mini. As I’m using my mobile from time to time to hook up to the internet when traveling, I thought I just need to replace the MAC in my /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and that’s it. As always … Murphy striked back. After debugging for hours I realized the DUN channel seems depending on the model.

You can discover your DUN channel something like:

# hcitool scan
Scanning …
3C:F7:2A:1A:4D:2A Cycophone
# sdptool browse 3C:F7:2A:1A:4D:2A | \
grep -9 “Service Name: Dial-Up Networking” | \
tail -10 | grep Channel
Channel: 22

So your /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf should now look like:


rfcomm0 {
bind yes;
device 3C:F7:2A:1A:4D:2A;
channel 22;
comment “Cycophone”;
}
