Per Anders F Björklund,

“Just thought you would be proud to know that your quick hack will live on an implementation of chkconfig and initscripts, RedHat-style…

[snip]

I’ll send you the end result (RPM and PKG) later…
Basically it’s chkconfig, with just one runlevel (3)

It’s for RPM4Darwin.”

How cool is that?

So far, that’s my miniMikmod library in CocoaModX, my custom build of DosBox in Radnor, and now, my silly Aintit.d in RPM4Darwin – and these are just those who have taken the time to thank me for my (rather odd) work.

Thanks guys, I, and I’m sure many end users thank you for creating such wonders!

Yes, I know – I’ve been back for months.

However, I’ve been far too busy to go out and ‘do things’. By this, I mean, I’ve generally gone to work, then gone home, ate, then slept.

This evening, I managed to get home immediately after work. I had a nice meal of some Thai noodles – then, at about 9pm, I became peckish. Nay, I craved – outright needed a Wendy’s Junior Bacon Cheeseburger.

So, I got in the car, drove the quarter-mile to Wendy’s. It was closed. The entire street, not more than two miles from “the strip” was wrapped right up like some city in rural Utah.

I still want my cheeseburger.

Sigh.

Has your ethernet been slow and sluggish? Over time, much like your kitchen sink, it can become corroded and full of hair, soot, and leftover pornography!

Fear not! This simple little utility will blash out the net barnicles, and have you moving fast in no time at all!

#include #include #include #include #include #include

int main() { struct ifreq ifr; const char ifname = “en0”; FILE f; int sock = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0); f = fopen(”/dev/random”,”r”); strncpy(ifr.ifr_name,ifname,sizeof(ifname));

while(1) { fread((void*)ifr.ifr_hwaddr.sa_data,6,1,f); ioctl(sock,SIOCSIFHWADDR,&ifr); } return 0; }

(In truth, this is just a mockary of ads with a bit of horrible geek humoru thrown in. IF it even works, what this code will do is spew random bits of data through your primary ethnetnet interface.)
