I tried for a few days to get Lehigh’s 8021X authentication to work with my wireless setup, but the wireless network kept disassociating before the handshake finished. I asked around and a bunch of people said that Ashutosh’s instructions worked perfectly. I tried them verbatim, except without ndiswrapper (yuck!) The Intel iwlwifi driver has been [...]
UT Austin currently has command line instructions on how to use their secured wireless network through wpa_supplicant. That’s all well and good if you’re a computer science student using Gentoo with some time to kill, but suppose you are a person with a laptop who wants to go on the web. It is easy to [...]
Terminator is a cool terminal-emulator.
Al utilizar Hardy original, algunas tarjetas de red como la Realtek r8168 no funcionan. Recomiendo esta solución: En lugar del utilizar el driver r8169 que se distribuye con Ubuntu (que está roto), es mas conveniente utilizar el driver r8168 que distribuye Realtek.
The Realtek r8168 network card does not work out of the box in Hardy. modprobe loads the r8169 module. A solution is to use a patched version of the r8168 driver provided by Realtek.

Why This?
Most laptops are ugly. To get something café-worthy, my options
appeared either to be the MacBook, a Vostro, or a Thinkpad. Thinkpads

Starting a Blog
It is customary for young men and women to establish blogging
utilities upon studying abroad in Europe. Rest assured, I will be no
exception to this custom. As such, I have created
jamesonwilliams.com/oxford - which you are now visiting! (Note: this
has now been moved to jamesonwilliams.com/blog.)
Some Notes on Europe
I spent most of [...]
I haven’t posted on here in a while, and it is still up on the web, so why not, right. This summer I wake up at 7:30, take the 66 bus from Brookline, MA to Harvard Square, then the red line to Alewife, then the 351 express bus to Burlington each weekday. I get to [...]
A look at the various problems and benefits of XHTML. The article
makes a case for using XHTML as opposed to HTML4 as advocated by some
developers. The article includes a discussion of W3C’s
recommendations and how realistic they are to implement at this
point.
W3 Says XHTML.
That’s a pretty half-baked reason to chose one over [...]
