Ethernet Aliasing for Fun and Wireless Survival

I had a small Technical Epiphany the other day that I wanted to share. I got Ethernet Aliasing to work with Ubuntu Gutsy Linux and it turns out to be quite simple in retrospect. Why might you want to do such a thing? In my case, to tweak my Wireless settings while I used the Internet. My Buffalo AirStation Wireless Bridge was working poorly and I needed status to help debug it. I really wanted to access two different IP networks, without routing, on the same physical wire at the same time without buying a new Ethernet card - which in the dark past would have been the "proper" way to do this.

Bush administration and Microsoft victorious over information

In an obvious payback to would be theocrats, the United States Agency for International Development, convinced administrators at Johns Hopkins University to modify the search software at the largest index of population information - "Popline" - to censor searches on the keyword "abortion". They succeeded.

I visited Popline today - http://db.jhuccp.org/ics-wpd/popweb/ - and type in a few terms related to but not using the forbidden word "abortion".

Evacuation  is one method of abortion in which the fetus is literally sucked out of the womb. Dilation and curettage is a mechanical method where the cervix is dilated and the womb is scraped. Mefepristone is a drug which induces premature delivery.

Another mistress

Another mistress -

I think I'm having an affair. Maybe it's the seven-year itch. Maybe it's an old flame. Maybe it's the clothes Zen wears. I find Zen Cart alluring.

Don't misunderstand that my love died for Drupal. The ready marketing infrastructure of Zen Cart, however, drew my wanton gaze.

Drupal Camp: Drupal Book

A note to those interested in Drupal.

I have been reading "Drupal Creating Blogs, forums, portals, and community Websites" by David Mercer and Packt press. The Drupal Camp at LS.net helped "put meat on the bones" of the topic. Drupal makes more sense now.

The books is available from Amazon and many other fine places.

Wireless Bridging with Buffalo

Everyone seems interested in routers these days. But often Bridging can be so much more satisfying. At home I run a Motorolla DD-WRT wireless router as the firewall and gateway to our cable provider. But how to connect wired Ethernet Computers to this Wireless network .. computers seperated by several hundred feet .. all the way across the house.

One way would be to run wired cables. .. too difficult. Another way would be to buy wireless adapters for each machine .. too expensive. But the way I finally came up with was to run a Wireless Bridge. It happens to be from Buffalo. They make good gear.
