Went to Mediamarkt today all hyped up and ready to get a Netgear MA311
wireless PCI card for my home computer, but they’ve sold out. I decided
to lash out 40CHF more and get an access point instead.
While at mediamarkt I also got a Nikon PCMCIA CF card adapter. It’s
only 14CHF and will save me a lot of time reflashing the iPAQs. Right
now it takes around 20min to reflash iPAQs via serial port.
It’s been a very unfortunate week… Made a really REALLY stupid mistake today,
did a rm -rf /usr when I meant rm -rf usr

run rm. Here’s the script:
In the aftermath of data loss, looked into subversion, which is rated as the top
newcomer of the year, according to linux-magazine. It aims to be a

but also directories, copies, and renames.
System hanged today, it’s happening more often lately, possibly due to
too many interfaces talking at the same time.
Sadly /dev/hda2 (vfat) got corrupted, suffered great data loss.
Notes truncated, entire recently created directory tree disappeared.
