Couldn’t really visit the new forest without popping into Lymington and sitting by the Harbour side for a while watching the boats go by.

On solaris mounting a .iso via loopback is a little different to linux, first you need to use lofiadm to add a file as a loopback device, then you can mount it in the normal way. An example is below:

# lofiadm -a /u01/tmp/java_es_05Q1-ga1-solaris-x86-1.iso /dev/lofi/1
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt/jes/1/

Back in November 2002 I spent a weekend over in Brussels with Roly

Fruity puds 🙂

En-route back to London we stopped off at the Devil’s Punch Bowl for a bit of a stroll. Very nice view, and my first real go at landscape photography.

I happened to have my zoom lens on the camera when this bird flew overhead, I held the shutter down to see if I would get anything decent. I took about 10 shots but this is the only one that came out ok.

While waiting for the Trafalgar 200 fireworks to start, I started playing around. This was done by pulling the zoom during a 5 second exposure.

One of my all time favorite aircraft, I love the gull wings.

I got bored of the old site, all I ever did was click through from it to somewhere else. This is the new site, there still wont be much here but I’ll blog the occasional photo from over on flickr.

Okay suppose you are on a corporate LAN and VPN’d into some other private network. You want DNS to resolve the local intranet, but also resolve your VPN’d LAN. If you VPN’d LAN domain is internal.sollicker.com then create;

/etc/resolver/sollicker.com

and in this file;

search internal.sollicker.com sollicker.com

nameserver 172.16.100.15

Then run:

sudo kill -HUP `cat /var/run/lookupd.pid`
