I'm checking out Wordland. Let's see if this actually posts to my Random Neurons Firing site… Hokey pokey! It did! This is very cool. It seems to hit all the important points of textcasting.org Should this be a header? Nope, doesn't seem to work yet Bold, Italic, H4 (?) Lists, too… a b c aardvark…

I really like the Crusader network test application for measuring network throughput and latency. It’s cross-platform and provides a useful reference for network measurements. But the macOS binary opens a Terminal window that’s confusing and “gets in the way”. Furthermore, you have to know which binary to use – Intel or Apple Silicon. I decided…

I wanted to create a macOS bundle for an application that I use frequently, and wanted it to have an attractive icon. I had a good PNG image, and knew that there must be a way to convert it to the multiple sizes required by modern macOS. I found Ben Souchet’s png-to-icns repo that does…

I’ve been following the progress of qStudio – a SQL IDE that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It’s great for running SQL queries against a database. I haven’t used its Pulse features to create real-time graphs of live data, though. My use of qStudio is driven because it includes the PRQL compiler that takes…

If you work much with OpenWrt, you likely have a pile of older routers that you’re no longer using. But what to do with them? You could pass them along to friends/family or even donate them to the local thrift store. But first you must solve a big problem… Read the README for more info….…

@SiemusS recently asked me to review the draft documentation for FQ_CoDel for OPNsense. The document turned into a fairly nice description of the FQ_CoDel algorithm. See https://github.com/opnsense/docs/blob/master/source/manual/how-tos/shaper_bufferbloat.rst

We promise not to fix it if we don’t know it’s broke. My mentor at Dartmouth College, Stan Dunten, said this all the time. That’s why I always send in short reports to webmaster@…. mentioning something that didn’t look right. Most of the time it’s something silly. And sometimes I get a heartfelt “Thanks!” because…

Many people are surprised to hear that their web browsing doesn’t have to be crowded out by intrusive ads. There is an entire industry of “ad blockers” and “content blockers” that claim to fix this. uBlock Origin is the one I use. Its author, “gorhill” states that it’s Free. Open-source. For users by users. No…

The NH Stone Wall Mapper project uses Lidar data to display small variations in ground elevation. A UNH project built this map to identify stone walls in the state. This site can be “misused” (in a good way) to show lots of other topographic features. Here’s a “Lidar view” of the grounds of Loch Lyme…
