NOTE: This post is a based on Mac OS X, Bluetooth and Nokia UMTS phones that I wrote some days ago, but adapted to Motorola 3G phones.
This brief post explains how to pair Mac OS X with a Motorola 3G/UMTS phone in order to access the Internet via a data packet connection. In my case, [...]

It turns out that the Motorola RAZR V3xx cell phone is not yet supported by iSync 2.3. Fortunately enough, David has created an iSync 2.3 plugin.
David wrote a post named iSync and a Motorola RAZR V3xx and the iSync 2.3 plug-in that can be downloaded from here or from here.
Unfortunately, the version that is available [...]

This brief post explains how to pair Mac OS X with a Nokia 3G/UMTS phone in order to access the Internet via a data packet connection. In my case, I’m using a Nokia 6234 phone but any other Nokia phone should work.
Before you start, please make sure that your phone is properly configured and that [...]

NetBSD ports collection includes audio/mt-daapd, a nice and straightforward implementation of Apple’s DAAP protocol for streaming music to iTunes. The only problem is that audio/mt-daapd is not compiled with Zeroconf support by default. In NetBSD, net/howl provides an implementation of Apple’s Zeroconf (also known as Rendevous or Bonjour).
In order to compile audio/mt-daapd under NetBSD with [...]

Now that KQEMU has switched to the GPL v2 license, I’m starting to get interested on it.
One problem with KQEMU is that modprobing the kernel module, kqemu.ko, doesn’t automatically create /dev/kqemu unless the proper udev rules are defined.
A cannonical udev rule file to get /dev/kqemu created automatically when kqemu.ko is loaded is:

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/60-kqemu.rules
KERNEL==”kqemu”, NAME=”%k”, [...]

Xen is one of the coolest pieces of software I have ever used. It allows me to partition my box into manageable pieces, for increased security and increased resource utilization. I have been playing extensively with Xen for more than a year and have also written some posts about it.
NetBSD is a lean, mean, fast [...]

I have always though that ssh-agent has some limitations. One of those limitations is that when invoked from .bashrc or .zshrc in the following way:

`eval ssh-agent`

will cause one ssh-agent instance to be spawned for every shell, which is a waste of resources. An easy solution is to use Keychain, which is also described here.
Basically, Keychain [...]
