Dei Ex Machinis

Welcome to a (small) collection of bits and pieces.

This is a general repository of stuff I've found quite useful when working on various different issues or projects. Some of it is incomplete (I keep meaning to complete the UltraVNC and DHCP sections, but alas - something more interesting comes up and I sort of forget. Update: I have actually added a bit to the DHCP section, as it transpired that somebody had - gosh - been reading it. There's still more to come on the subject of class IDs and relays/IP Helpers, but there's more info now than there was this time yesterday.

Captain Obvious

Some of the articles on here will contain trace elements of obviousness. Sometimes, though - one cannot see the woods for the trees - and a Cardboard Programmer is needed to bring the obvious to light.

Sometimes, what seems obvious has some unexpected caveats. For example - whilst there are thousands of pages out there which explain how to generate a file to test your anti-virus, most of them don't explain that there's at least one virus which pretends to be an innocuous test file.
