Idea for a Kismet perl module

I’ve been thinking for a little bit about writing a perl module to interface with
Kismet, making it easy for people to write Kismet clients in perl. Basically, I envision being able to do something like this:
use Kismet::Client;
my $kismet = new Kismet::Client ( server => "localhost:54321" );
$kismet->add_protocol(NETWORK, "bssid,type,ssid", \&network_callback);
$kismet->run;
sub network_callback (
my($info) [...]

Apartment and Crossposting

I slept in the new apartment for the first time last night. Yesterday, Dave helped my move over most of the really heavy furniture, like the bed and my desk and stuff. He’s going to enlist his kids one night this week to help my move all the rest of my little stuff in exchange [...]

The New Apartment

I’ve been working on moving some stuff over to the new apartment today. The weather is pretty crappy, mostly rain, but now with some snow mixed in. I don’t really want to move any of my electronics in the stuff. I took some pictures of the new place earlier, I’ll get some more once I’m [...]

Stupid Routers

meta-markup: 0
Well, I’ve spent most of the past two days at work trying to get PPTP-based VPN working for one of IronCastle’s customers. It should be simply enough, I’ve got it working at IronCastle pretty well, though it doesn’t have encryption since I set it up before FreeBSD’s ppp supported it. It appears that the [...]
