> Articles
Here are a few articles that I have written on various subjects. Most of them are between publications and reviews. When I have gathered enough of them, I will classify them in categories.
- Hacking the Linksys NSLU2 : Originally, this is a small cheap NAS server costing around $100. It runs Linux on a StrongARM processor and has one 10/100 Mbps interface. It's easy to mod it for various usages.
- Making applications scalable with Load Balancing : An article I wrote for a magazine in mid-2006 but which finally was not published because it was slightly out of the magazine's scope. When I have time, I'll make it as a whole PDF.
- How to build a cheap UPS for PC Engines ALIX : The ALIX is a very nice motherboard designed by PC Engines. This article explains how to build a cheap UPS for this motherboard.
- How to add a capacitor to keep RTC running on PC Engines ALIX : The ALIX is a very nice motherboard designed by PC Engines. This article explains how to use a capacitor for time-keeping instead of a lithium battery.
