Each time the dog, Wibo, comes over, he can run freely in the garden. And so can Janneke, our cat. But as with most cats and dogs, they are not so fond of eachother, although they 're both very curious. So Janneke strolls on the roof of my shed, provoking the dog rolling over on the side. This goes on for quite some time when all of a sudden: bam, cat overboard!

It 's some sort of deer (a bambi?) and it 's only the second time I 've witnessed it in the wild in my own neighbourhood. This time I had my camera handy, and with maximum zoom + digital zoom I managed to shoot this grainy picture (150m away). It was getting rather dark, so ISO values were shooting through the ceiling. Nonetheless, the animal is very clearly recognizable. ]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2007 09:43:17 +0100 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=7&blog_id=219 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=218 People who 've been using "virusscan -a avg" might have noticed that this functionality got broken. It is because Grisoft changed the url of the download page of their AVG rpm. Luckily, TRK has the ability to adapt by contacting the trinityhome webserver and download the new url. I 've changed that url to point to the correct download page, gave it a try with TRK 3.2 and it seems to be working nicely.

Proof of that is the new Google pagerank, which after years being a 5 has gone up 6. Wohoow! Thanks to y 'all websites and users that showed interest in the project. It 's much appreciated.

Whilst looking to get better access to a hotspot at my girlfriend 's apartment, I tried several possibilities to improve the weak signal I was catching.

It will be integrated in the same way as with F-Prot, so using updatetrk or downloaded when called for. Another plan, also by popular demand, is to build a menu for TRK.

Be sure not to burn it on a normal CD/R but a CD/RW. Here 's why: One of the new features in TRK 3.1 is the ability to update itself with Captive NTFS drivers and the latest antivirus + definitions. After it has done this, it will recreate itself as a new iso-file that you can burn to CD.

Turns out that with CDBurner XP Pro the CDRs became unbootable after adding the files and reburning it. I 've never had problems with it, so I was unable to recreate the situation.

This time a major improvement: the addition of the FUSE NTFS project [1] , which adds alternative ntfs write capabilities in a safe and -more important- performant way.

We welcome TRINITY RESCUE KIT 3.0 And I 'm proud of my baby. Well actually, it 's not a baby anymore: TRK has grown mature now, both in features and free of bugs.

I 'm looking at 1000 downloads a day now. Even with the still broken link on ntfaq, people still seem to find Trinityhome easily.

If anyone would like to mirror the binaries on a fast link, please contact me, harakiri. TRK has been submitted to SourceForge as a project.

It 's a dual Intel server with 2 PIII 750's. It panics when trying to scan the PCI bus. Very weird, versions of TRK with a custom Mandrake kernel boot ok. But then again, trying TRK 1.1 b98 in a completely similar machine (same mobo, 2x PIII 800), it boots ok. I 've tried recompiling the kernel, but all my defaults I normally use are there and yet still it panics.

A lot of sweat and mindtwisting (no tears though), Trinity Rescue Kit 1.1 is out. And I call it stable enough, already at build 98. I think I 've removed all the bugs and added all the features I planned to add in this release. Go ahead and give it a try [1]. Here are the changes since my last post on build 93: -two different ntfs modules, ntfs.o is version 2.1.4a ans ntfs1.o is version 1.1.21, which still has writing capabilities (although dangerous) -mountallfs is much ...]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2003 14:29:31 +0100 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=14 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=13 Ok, build 93 is out, but tomorrow I 'll bring out build 94, which should at last have ntfs write support. Apparently, after kernel 2.4.17 they brought in completely new ntfs code which is faster and more stable but has no more write support, even if you tell it so. So I 'm attempting to reverse engineer the 2.4.17 ntfs code into the 2.4.21 kernel. Let 's see how that turns out. Meanwhile, the pcmcia nic detection looks like it 's working well. It tries loading every module and unloads ...]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2003 19:54:47 +0100 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=13 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=12 Alrighty then, almost finished. I hope. I hope I don 't come up with any new features. Anyway: most bugs are out, or almost. Find the latest version in the download section... Lets 's see: -gpm: run mouseps2 for a ps2 mouse and mouseser for generic serial mouse support. -devfs errors fixed (just removed some non-existent stuff which wasn 't needed) -eject cdrom WORKS!!!

Standing or new bugs: -gpm mouse service: forgot all about it, but it 's still not ok, you have to manually start it -devfs errors: fixed in new build -still no PCMCIA network card detection: making script that tests them all and loads the appropriate one -eject cdrom: any suggestions what could be the problem anybody?

I' m very curious on testing this on a laptop. Bugs fixed since build 89: -upgraded from Kudzu 0.99-99 to 1.1.3-1.1 and updated hwdata-0.87-1.1 -TRKx option 6: virusscan flag is now set, it checks if you 've chosen nr. 2 network and depending on that option it will or won 't update your .def files first. -Lilo keyboard language default in US English qwerty -Lilo wait timeout from 5 to 10 seconds on demand of ...]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2003 14:32:23 +0100 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=10 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=9 Apparently, Internet Explorer had some weird behaviour when downloading .gz compressed files: it downloaded the complete uncompressed iso file, making it look like your browser kept downloading infinitely. What it did what it did was a behaviour by Apache design, but very annoying: It seems that the default config of Apache 2 on Mandrake has the next lines in its config, with the following comment: # # AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers (Mosaic/X 2.1+) uncompress ...]]> Mon, 23 Jun 2003 13:39:09 +0100 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=9 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=8 Yes I know, yet another new version of Trinity Rescue Kit Yes, again with lots of bug fixes. Seriously: this one should become a release candidate. It has a new feature in the startup screen: when you switch to text mode with ctrl+X, you can try TRKx and put some numbers behind it. These numbers will be taken into account as specific startup parameters. It has 7 possible parameters: 1: Run kudzu 2: Dhcpcd 3: Belgian keyboard 4: Run scripts from floppy And then the new possibilities 5: ...]]> Fri, 20 Jun 2003 17:24:19 +0100 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=8 http://trinityhome.org/Home/blog_comments.php?front_id=24&blog_cat_id=2&blog_id=7 Again, many bugfixes in this one: -mountallfs.sh is fixed and way better than when it used to work in 0.5. It now makes less garbage output. -virusscan.sh: you can set a flag: -upd or -noupd meaning it can scan for viruses and update first from ftp.f-prot.com [1] or it can just go ahead with the current definitions van June 12. -devfs gets mounted -partimage is broken, misses a library.

Luckilly, most things that did work in TRK 1.0 are still not broken, except that devfsd doesn 't get mounted for some reason. Some old bugs still remain: -Still no autodetection of PCMCIA cards.
