Discontinuation of KisMAC - German political laws about security
There has not been a lot of time for KisMAC lately. However the motivation for this drastic step lays somewhere different. German laws change and are being adapted for "better" protection against something politicians obviously do not understand. It will become illegal to develop, use or even posses KisMAC in this banana republic (backgound: the change of § 202c StGB).
While I cannot do much about that for now, you probably can. Make copies of KisMAC and its source as long as the website is up! Do further development outside of Germany, even better outside the US and EU! If you are a German resident, you will need to fight for your rights.

X over SSH

Zo gaat dat niet.
Ofwel start je een X server op je 'remote machine' en neem je dat scherm over met iets zoals VNC.
Ofwel start je een X server op je lokale machine (windows, linux, mac,...) en pipe je de applicaties door je SSH tunnel naar je lokale Xserver.
Hoe gaat dit te werk? In mijn situatie run ik MacOS X op mijn laptop. Soms heb ik toegang nodig tot linux-only apps (ofwel ben ik te lui om het te recompilen met alle deps).
Op mijn Mac OS X laptop start ik X op. (X11.app)
Vervolgens open ik mijn shell (terminal) en typ ik:
$ ssh -Y 192.168.1.141
(je kan ook -X gebruiken, zie manpages) Zo geraak ik ingelogd op mijn remote linux bak en heeft SSH al direct mijn $DISPLAY variable goed gezet.
Vervolgens start ik gewoon mijn grafische app op, de applicatie wordt door de ssh tunnel naar mijn MacOS X X11 server gestuurd. (aether = MacOS X, chri-desktop = linux onder virtuele machine)

Migration to Google Apps for your domain
Some nice things are already activated and working fine and documented.
As expected similar migrations always bring some issues with them, but this time I wanted to do everything just right.
That's why I started working on a Q & A section. When writing questions I came across a 'I was only using webmail. How do I migrate the mails from the old webmail to the new system?' question.
I immediately starting writing instructions to setup gmail to download pop messages from another server to the gmail account. (you can find this in the 'Settings' > 'Account' page)
Unfortunately this option is not available with the 'apps for your domain' system. I thus had to find a way to transfer all the mails from server A to server B (google).
Using imap to transfer mails was not possible as Google does not support this. A guess brought me on a fetchmail documentation quest. Browsing the website I became more and more excited when I came across this phrase in the FAQ: "Q: How can I forward mail to another host? A:To forward mail to a host other than the one you are running fetchmail on, use the smtphost or smtpname option. See the manual page for details."
After a few minutes I created this little script to do the work for me:
#!/bin/bash
PROTO="POP3"
SMTPHOST="ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM"
SERVER="vandeplas.com"
USERS="christophe familymember2 familymember3"
for user in ${USERS}; do
fetchmail -v -p ${PROTO} --smtphost ${SMTPHOST}\
--smtpname ${user}@${SERVER}.test-google-a.com -u ${user}@${SERVER} ${SERVER}
done;
Migration, here I come :-)Edit: added links below

To grep or not to grep? To mirror grep !
Planet Grep, the main planet of Belgian FLOSS people, was down for a few days due to internet-issues.
So I offered Wouter to mirror the site. He gladly accepted it. From now on a round-robin DNS system either forwards you to my server or to his.
