Nominations are in for the Podcast Peer Awards. The section that I'm most interested in has four entries that I'm not surprised to see there and one I haven't heard of before. I'm a little surprised that there isn't a nod to Sigler, but who would have to be dropped to make way for him?

The section I'm refering to is of course 'Serialized Fiction':

I've had my Western Digital MyBook World Edition for a couple of months now. Basically it is a mini-computer with a small footprint linux distro. The disk is shared on the network using samba and mionet. Not exactly the best options for accessing from Linux. It works, well the samba does. But it isn't ideal. In fact, if I try to do more than one simultaneous file transfer with samba protocol, the whole thing locks up till I can remount the smbfs.

Oddly enough, the MyBook comes with a fully functional ssh server. WD just ship it disabled. Enabling ssh allows shell access which opens lots of possibilities.

Following the detailed instructions on Hard Forum: Hacking the WD My Book Word Edition II (NAS)

The end of two hectic weeks has finally arrived. And I, in no way, was the busiest. Major props to Jason for doing such big roles in We Will Rock You one week, then The Full Monty the next.

I'll remember the after-show party for The Full Monty for a long time. Thanks girls. I'll be in my bunk.

Back to work tomorrow, for a rest.
