Matt's blog: Hacking with a Samsung ARM Chromebook on Trusty
http://blog.cyphermox.net/2013/10/hacking-with-samsung-arm-chromebook-on.html
The thoughts of a Systems and Network Administrator and computer geek on networking, computers, and life. Tuesday, 29 October 2013. Hacking with a Samsung ARM Chromebook on Trusty. So I decided it was about time to update / reinstall my Samsung Chromebook (the ARM one.) to Trusty, or at least to use Saucy. Turns out it's not that simple. 1) Bring your Chromebook to developer mode. From there, get into crosh (Ctrl Alt T), in shell mode (type shell at the crosh prompt). 2) Download the script:. Be aware th...

The thoughts of a Systems and Network Administrator and computer geek on networking, computers, and life. Friday, 6 September 2013. Implementing MTP on Ubuntu Touch. Some of the fun parts of working at Canonical is how you get to work on so many different things. I've spent the last few days working on an implementation of the MTP protocol for Ubuntu Touch, based on some amazing initial work from Thomas Voß to port the Android MTP libraries to C . And experiment. You can build mtp simply:. Im a free soft...

The thoughts of a Systems and Network Administrator and computer geek on networking, computers, and life. Sunday, 29 March 2015. In early February, I completed a move from Canonical's Phonedations team to the Foundations team. Part of this new work means debugging a lot of different failure cases in the installer, grub, and other early boot or low-level sofware, some of which requiring careful reproduction steps and probably quite a few install runs in VMs on on hardware.

Matt's blog: urfkill : a daemon to centrally control RF killswitches
http://blog.cyphermox.net/2013/12/urfkill-daemon-to-centrally-control-rf.html
The thoughts of a Systems and Network Administrator and computer geek on networking, computers, and life. Friday, 13 December 2013. Urfkill : a daemon to centrally control RF killswitches. Here's another project of the u-daemon variety. The latest addition to upower, udev, etc. Meet urfkill. Like anyone, thinking mobile I'd first think of walking around, driving, or other methods of travel. Granted, nobody needs to turn off Wi-Fi when getting in their car, but what about on planes? But then, one can also...

The thoughts of a Systems and Network Administrator and computer geek on networking, computers, and life. Tuesday, 21 January 2014. Call for testing: urfkill / Getting flight mode to rock on Ubuntu and Ubuntu Touch. Last month, I blogged about urfkill, and what it's meant to be used for. I spent the last month or so working on improving urfkill. I've implemented better logging, a way to get debugging logs, flight mode (with patches from my friend Tony Espy), persistence, . Location: Montreal, QC, Canada.

The thoughts of a Systems and Network Administrator and computer geek on networking, computers, and life. Saturday, 16 August 2014. Focusing and manual skills. I don't think anyone can argue against the fact that to be an effective developer, you need to somehow attain sufficient focus to fully take in the task at hand, and be sufficiently in the zone that answers to the problem at hand come naturally. In a way, programming is like that, a transcendent form of art. I think every developer. well, ever...
