I had the need to upgrade iptables to 1.4 from the stock in centos5.
My host upgraded the VPS node kernal to only support 1.4 iptable modules. If for example are an unlucky person with the following error:
Testing ipt_owner/xt_owner…FAILED [Error: iptables: Unknown error 18446744073709551615] – Required for SMTP_BLOCK and UID/GID blocking features
Then upgrading might be a fix for you. I though it would be a difficult task. but its not to bad.
So a quick intro to my final year project.
You, your mobile, PC, TV, lights, stereo, cooker all have one thing in common. They are all within the same building.
But they all are in different rooms. The automated home isn’t that, in the sense that technology is still manually controlled because it doesn’t know how to react to the intervention of humans.
My project is based around cheap and effective indoor location technologies that are not only cost effective but make some tasks much easier.
“Imagine walking into your house, the lights turn on in the hall, your computer turns on, TV tunes to your favourite channel..”.
Well as unreal as it sounds I want to make some of those possible, by just having your mobile phone on you!

Ok this topic has been blogged about alot. But I thought I would give my two cents.
So you have XP or Vista and want to do a clean install to get to Windows 7 Premium or Home Premium 32/64 bit, but have a upgrade copy or want a cheap upgrade well I will cover how.
The method I used and is the easiest and quickest is the straight install method with rearm (explained later).
Note: DO NOT INPUT THE UPGRADE KEY ON INSTALL.
So step by step guide.
Backup your data on your current machine, (You will need to reinstall all apps after installing Win 7).
Boot into the DVD/Flash drive, start your machine with the bootable media, Follow the install steps do a “Custom Install” and select the hard drive you want to install on. when asked do NOT put your upgrade key in here during the install.
When windows finishes installing and boots into windows, run the automatic updater untill there are no updates left.
UPDATE: Avoid updating to Service Pack 1 if the update is offered to you!
First Method:
First we can just try using the upgrade key as a regular version key. Type “activate” into the start menu, enter your upgrade key and see if it activates.
If it works, great job done no need to go any further enjoy your copy of Windows 7.
If not… Then Me and a Matt Hayden worked on a little batch script that will do the work for you.
Second Method:
Download the Re Arm Batch File and unzip it to somewhere accessible.
Run the rearm.bat, it will prompt for permission to run, say yes, restart.
Type “activate” into the start bar again, re run activation and voila!
Any feedback on success rate would be great. I have used the second method personaly and worked no problems, although peoples mileage may vary.
Hope this helps.

So you have your open vpn as server working nicely? But you want your clients to appear on a differnt ip address on your server.
So for example i have:
80.0.0.1 setup as my eth0 address
80.0.0.2 as my eth0:1 address
I want my my vpn clients to be NATed through to eth0:1 not eth0.
Simple but sweet command from OpenVPN-AS support solved the issue nicely.
Login to your command prompt and do the following:
Make sure your logged in as root/sudo etc (su – / sudo )
cd /usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts ./confdba --mod --key vpn.server.routing.snat_source.0 --value eth0:1 (or which ever device you want your users to appear as)
Restart your server job done!
/etc/init.d/openvpnas restart
Now your clients should appear as 80.0.0.1 not 80.0.0.2
Feel free to ask any questions!
Not all of you may know my involvement in Fusion Ticket, but I am the original creator, lead developer.
Fusion Ticket has been a major part of my life the the past 3 years and the evolution of the product has been amazing.
Any one looking for a Open Source or Free Box Office / Ticketing solution should seriously consider checking it out. We are allways looking for new volenteers to help maintain and contribute to Fusion Ticket.
Aim: The aim of the project was to serve as a need for an online sales platform for the charity I work for, Pepper, when we decided it would be a good moved to start selling online. The project took off from there.
Development: We have been developing for over 3 years now, it would be nice to have fresh faces, I have limited time for Fusion Ticket now, but there core developers still working with Fusion Ticket in real world events and saving them £1k’s of pounds.
Future: I can’t discuss the future of Fusion Ticket, but my future with FT is very intermittent, When finishing university I will have to make the decision of my involvement with Fusion Ticket, as for the project? I will be going strong for years to come for sure, although a financial backing will be required to make it even more successful.
So… I thought I would try blogging from my phone. Have to say very easy thouse WordPress guys have done a grand job.

Been Playing with google gears recently and been having amazing fun. Bit of a challenge to design off-line apps but very cool potential.
