+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Back in 2010, I created a Perl library to talk to
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spykee&quot;&gt;the Spykee robot&lt;/a&gt;
+(with two belts, wifi, USB and Linux) and made it available from my
+web page.  Today I concluded that it should move to a site that is
+easier to use to cooperate with others, and moved it to github.  If
+you got a Spykee robot, you might want to check out
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/libspykee-perl&quot;&gt;the
+libspykee-perl github repository&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The last few days I came across a few good causes that should get
+wider attention.  I recommend signing and donating to each one of
+these. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Via &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2013/18/&quot;&gt;Debian
+Project News for 2013-10-14&lt;/a&gt; I came across the Outreach Program for
+Women program which is a Google Summer of Code like initiative to get
+more women involved in free software.  One debian sponsor has offered
+to match &lt;a href=&quot;http://debian.ch/opw2013&quot;&gt;any donation done to Debian
+earmarked&lt;/a&gt; for this initiative.  I donated a few minutes ago, and
+hope you will to. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;And the Electronic Frontier Foundation just announced plans to
+create &lt;a href=&quot;https://supporters.eff.org/donate/nsa-videos&quot;&gt;video
+documentaries about the excessive spying&lt;/a&gt; on every Internet user that
+take place these days, and their need to fund the work.  I&#39;ve already
+donated.  Are you next?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For my Norwegian audience, the organisation Studentenes og
+Akademikernes Internasjonale Hjelpefond is collecting signatures for a
+statement under the heading
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://saih.no/Bloggers_United/&quot;&gt;Bloggers United for Open
+Access&lt;/a&gt; for those of us asking for more focus on open access in the
+Norwegian government.  So far 499 signatures.  I hope you will sign it
+too.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Wireless mesh networks are self organising and self healing
+networks that can be used to connect computers across small and large
+areas, depending on the radio technology used.  Normal wifi equipment
+can be used to create home made radio networks, and there are several
+successful examples like
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freifunk.net/&quot;&gt;Freifunk&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.awmn.net/&quot;&gt;Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network&lt;/a&gt;
+(see
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_community_networks_by_region#Greece&quot;&gt;wikipedia
+for a large list&lt;/a&gt;) around the globe.  To give you an idea how it
+work, check out the nice overview of the Kiel Freifunk community which
+can be seen from their
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://freifunk.in-kiel.de/ffmap/nodes.html&quot;&gt;dynamically
+updated node graph and map&lt;/a&gt;, where one can see how the mesh nodes
+automatically handle routing and recover from nodes disappearing.
+There is also a small community mesh network group in Oslo, Norway,
+and that is the main topic of this blog post.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve wanted to check out mesh networks for a while now, and hoped
+to do it as part of my involvement with the &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG member organisation&lt;/a&gt; community, and
+my recent involvement in
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox&quot;&gt;the Freedombox project&lt;/a&gt;
+finally lead me to give mesh networks some priority, as I suspect a
+Freedombox should use mesh networks to connect neighbours and family
+when possible, given that most communication between people are
+between those nearby (as shown for example by research on Facebook
+communication patterns).  It also allow people to communicate without
+any central hub to tap into for those that want to listen in on the
+private communication of citizens, which have become more and more
+important over the years.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So far I have only been able to find one group of people in Oslo
+working on community mesh networks, over at the hack space
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://hackeriet.no/&quot;&gt;Hackeriet&lt;/a&gt; at Husmania.  They seem to
+have started with some Freifunk based effort using OLSR, called
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://oslo.freifunk.net/index.php?title=Main_Page&quot;&gt;the Oslo
+Freifunk project&lt;/a&gt;, but that effort is now dead and the people
+behind it have moved on to a batman-adv based system called
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://meshfx.org/trac&quot;&gt;meshfx&lt;/a&gt;.  Unfortunately the wiki
+site for the Oslo Freifunk project is no longer possible to update to
+reflect this fact, so the old project page can&#39;t be updated to point to
+the new project.  A while back, the people at Hackeriet invited people
+from the Freifunk community to Oslo to talk about mesh networks.  I
+came across this video where Hans Jørgen Lysglimt interview the
+speakers about this talk (from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Kd7CLkhSY&quot;&gt;youtube&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/N2Kd7CLkhSY&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I mentioned OLSR and batman-adv, which are mesh routing protocols.
+There are heaps of different protocols, and I am still struggling to
+figure out which one would be &quot;best&quot; for some definitions of best, but
+given that the community mesh group in Oslo is so small, I believe it
+is best to hook up with the existing one instead of trying to create a
+completely different setup, and thus I have decided to focus on
+batman-adv for now.  It sure help me to  know that the very cool
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.servalproject.org/&quot;&gt;Serval project in Australia&lt;/a&gt;
+is using batman-adv as their meshing technology when it create a self
+organizing and self healing telephony system for disaster areas and
+less industrialized communities.  Check out this cool video presenting
+that project (from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30qNfzJCQOA&quot;&gt;youtube&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/30qNfzJCQOA&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;According to the wikipedia page on
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network&quot;&gt;Wireless
+mesh network&lt;/a&gt; there are around 70 competing schemes for routing
+packets across mesh networks, and OLSR, B.A.T.M.A.N. and
+B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced are protocols used by several free software
+based community mesh networks.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The batman-adv protocol is a bit special, as it provide layer 2
+(as in ethernet ) routing, allowing ipv4 and ipv6 to work on the same
+network.  One way to think about it is that it provide a mesh based
+vlan you can bridge to or handle like any other vlan connected to your
+computer.  The required drivers are already in the Linux kernel at
+least since Debian Wheezy, and it is fairly easy to set up.  A
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Quick-start-guide&quot;&gt;good
+introduction&lt;/a&gt; is available from the Open Mesh project.  These are
+the key settings needed to join the Oslo meshfx network:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;table&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Setting&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Value&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Protocol / kernel module&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;batman-adv&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;ESSID&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;meshfx@hackeriet&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;td&gt;Channel / Frequency&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;11 / 2462&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;td&gt;Cell ID&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;02:BA:00:00:00:01&lt;/td&gt;
+&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The reason for setting ad-hoc wifi Cell ID is to work around bugs
+in firmware used in wifi card and wifi drivers.  (See a nice post from
+VillageTelco about
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tiebing.blogspot.no/2009/12/ad-hoc-cell-splitting-re-post-original.html&quot;&gt;Information
+about cell-id splitting, stuck beacons, and failed IBSS merges!&lt;/a&gt;
+for details.)  When these settings are activated and you have some
+other mesh node nearby, your computer will be connected to the mesh
+network and can communicate with any mesh node that is connected to
+any of the nodes in your network of nodes. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My initial plan was to reuse my old Linksys WRT54GL as a mesh node,
+but that seem to be very hard, as I have not been able to locate a
+firmware supporting batman-adv.  If anyone know how to use that old
+wifi access point with batman-adv these days, please let me know.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you find this project interesting and want to join, please join
+us on IRC, either channel
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/#oslohackerspace&quot;&gt;#oslohackerspace&lt;/a&gt;
+or &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/#nuug&quot;&gt;#nuug&lt;/a&gt; on
+irc.freenode.net.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;While investigating mesh networks in Oslo, I came across an old
+research paper from the university of Stavanger and Telenor Research
+and Innovation called
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://folk.uio.no/paalee/publications/netrel-egeland-iswcs-2008.pdf&quot;&gt;The
+reliability of wireless backhaul mesh networks&lt;/a&gt; and elsewhere
+learned that Telenor have been experimenting with mesh networks at
+Grünerløkka in Oslo.  So mesh networks are also interesting for
+commercial companies, even though Telenor discovered that it was hard
+to figure out a good business plan for mesh networking and as far as I
+know have closed down the experiment.  Perhaps Telenor or others would
+be interested in a cooperation?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2013-10-12&lt;/strong&gt;: I was just
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2013-October/005900.html&quot;&gt;told
+by the Serval project developers&lt;/a&gt; that they no longer use
+batman-adv (but are compatible with it), but their own crypto based
+mesh system.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Earlier, I reported about
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html&quot;&gt;my
-problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk&lt;/a&gt;.  Friday I was
-told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away.  And as
-there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided
-today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware
-currently on the disk.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&amp;ProdId=3472&amp;DwnldID=18363&amp;ProductFamily=Solid-State+Drives+and+Caching&amp;ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+High+Performance+Solid-State+Drive&amp;ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+SSD+520+Series+(180GB%2c+2.5in+SATA+6Gb%2fs%2c+25nm%2c+MLC)&amp;lang=eng&quot;&gt;issdfut_2.0.4.iso&lt;/a&gt;
-(aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which
-according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD
-disks.  I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and
-booted the ISO from a USB stick.  The disk was recognized, but the
-program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused
-to insert any Intel firmware.  So no change, and the disk is still
-unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them
-working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware.  No idea how likely
-that is.  Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness.  I
-got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on
-the broken disks.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
-have worked on a Norwegian
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig,
-to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
-law.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
-number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
-not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
-I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
-first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
-progress of the translation:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
-proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
-drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
-missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
-index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
-English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
-page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
-done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
-of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
-docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
-Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;There is still need for translators and people with docbook
-knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
-with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
-translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
-redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
-around?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
-If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
-project files currently available from
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
-the updated
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;
-and

-are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
-github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
-saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;

-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
-Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
-out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
-network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
-services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
-and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
-environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
-the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
-installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
-database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
-directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
-desktop contains
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
-than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
-the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
-and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is the fifth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
-this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
-Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
-versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
-release.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Switched roaming workstation profiles from wicd to network-manager
-   for network configuration, as wicd didn&#39;t work any more.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Changed version numbers of patched gosa and libpam-mklocaluser
-   packages to make sure our locally patched versions will be replaced
-   by the official packages when they are released from Debian. Those
-   installing alpha version need to reinstall or manually downgrade gosa
-   and libpam-mklocaluser.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Added bluetooth tools to the default desktop (bluedevil, blueman).&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Added tools for sharing the desktop on KDE (krdc, krfb).&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Added valgrind to the default installation for easier debugging of
-   crash bugs.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Fixed artwork package to work with gnome, no longer break
-   desktop=gnome installations.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Adjusted installer to now work when forced to use a proxy with the
-   netinst CD.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Fixed code detecting and setting/loading hardware specific
-   setup/firmware to work more robust out of the box.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Adjusted Kerberos setup to detect realm and server settings at
-   install time instead of dynamically at run time. This avoid a crash
-   with krb5-auth-dialog on diskless workstations without a DNS name.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Worked around misfeature in network-manager not calling the dhclient
-   exit hooks, causing automatic proxy configuration and automatic host
-   name setting at run time to work again.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Fixed feature setting the default Iceweasel start page from URL
-   fetched from LDAP, to allow schools to set the global default by
-   updating the dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no LDAP object.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Changed default host name on all networked machines to be unique
-   (generated from MAC or reverse DNS) after boot.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Adjusted partition sizes to make sure they are big enough.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Grub is missing the new artwork.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;KDE fail to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
-    not use the http proxy as it should.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Chromium also fail to use the proxy.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
