After about 8 years of hosting my site and various other things on RapidVPS, I have finally decided to move things off of it. I have been wanting to do that for 2 reasons: The VPS host was originally based on Ubuntu 9.04, and I wish to take advantage of newer TLS cipher suites that are not available. $20 USD per month isn’t much, but since I am already running a bunch of other sites from my home ESXi, I don’t see…

A tweet from #AndroidPolice on Android booloaders and the security mechanism around it came to me through #cyanogen today. While it’s not meant to be comprehensive, I think it does help point developers and modders in the right direction to understanding come fundamental building blocks in information security. The fact that these security circumvention techniques float about on the Net goes to show that although the underlying encryption schemes and ciphers remain intact, hackers have consistently managed to find attack…
Prologue- I recently arrived in Taiwan, where my Sprint EVO 4G/HTC Supersonic became more of a Wifi-only device. While Asia Pacific Telecom offers CDMA 1X here in Taipei, EvDO with 3G speed is sorely lacking, let alone WiMax implementation. Besides, the rest of my family members here are on Chung Hwa Telecom, which happens to be the largest network here by virtue of its heritage as a state-run monopoly until recently, so I find it more economically sound to stick…

Android Froyo based ROM for the HTC EVO 4G by Hero_Over.
Note: I don’t have time to complete this posting right now, so it’s in a draft format. I just wanted to briefly document my findings before I forget. Back to studying for the Patent Bar… I finally pony up the Benjamins and got myself an Android handset, wait for it – the Sprint HTC EVO 4G! You may not share my enthusiasm, but finally ditching my HTC Mogul (running WinMo 6.1) and moving into an even more open platform opens…
I have been USB-tethering with my Sprint HTC Mogul for more than two years, connecting my Ubuntu 8.04~10.04 and Win XP~7 laptops/netbook to Sprint’s usually-speedy-enough 3G data network. While my Mogul still works fine as a phone, email client, light browsing, an GPS navigation with Tomtom 7 and Google Map, I am really getting tired of Windows Mobile 6.1. I am a fan of building custom Linux kernels for the x84 architecture and having root access to an OS, so…
