1989 Toyota Camry Error Codes
http://personal.utulsa.edu/~nathan-buchanan/93fsm/engine/26diagnosi.pdf
This works for other Toyotas as well, but I was specifically looking for it for a Camry with a 2.0. I think it’s correct for that model, but won’t guarantee it. Shows the sharktooth patterns that indicate code numbers and details their meanings. I’ll try to save/upload a copy of the PDF as well in case it ever disappears from the above location.

Declaration of Independence
Start a tradition. Read the Declaration of Independence this year, and on each anniversary. Read it with your kids, your families, your friends. And think about what it means for a small group to have taken a stand for freedom, liberty, and the inalienable rights of all men. Encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same, and perhaps eventually cowardice and treachery will have no place remaining in which to hide, for fallacy and equivocation wither under the bright light of the truth. Ask from whence these truths come, remember those who have stood and sacrificed that they may persist, and reflect upon their paramount importance. For without these few simple truths, you have nothing and no claim to anything. Happy Independence Day.

Packet flow in Netfilter and General Networking – Linux
I’ve run across this image in the past and found it helpful, but not sure I’ve ever made a note of it so I’d have it available next time I need it.

Interface Configuration Files

Did some reading while trying to change interface names on a Devil Linux 1.6.3 multi-interface host this afternoon. An interesting thing to note is that if the auto-generated udev file (in my case /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules) exists and has the interfaces numbered, it will not be overridden by whatever you configure in /etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-name for the HWADDR parameter.

Walmart taking the Chromebook mainstream – Computerworld
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9240119/Walmart_taking_the_Chromebook_mainstream
Having used one of the original CR48’s fairly extensively for a year or two, I found this interesting. My Chromebook has been retired for the time being due to heavy use and abuse (in no small part at the hands of my kids) and largely replaced with a tablet and laptop. However, I’m fairly confident that, were I to purchase a direct replacement for it with similar physical characteristics, I’d go back to using it pretty heavily.
The two downsides I found to the Chromebook were lack of native RDP and lack of SSH, as I track a fair number of systems that I still need to access some form of on-box interface for. I made pretty extensive use of an HTML5-to-RDP gateway (would have to look up the name now, as it has been almost a year since I’ve used it) and the Chrome “shell” SSH setup to work around these two issues simply because of the convenience, speed, and generally pleasing physical characteristics of the Chromebook… one-hand comfortable weight to quickly swing it out of the way if a kid jumped on my lap, stable and tolerable temperature for literal “lap top” use, and silent operation.
