Local company Wasabi Systems, Inc. expands

by Ethan on May.06, 2008, under business, networking

Job listings have been appearing in mass for local company Wasabi Systems. While I figured they would be gone by now, it appears they are indeed growing. Wasabi once employed a number of the people behind the awesome NetBSD project, not bad for a company in Norfolk Virginia! Wasabi makes iSCSI target & NAS solutions (Similar to the open source OpenFiler project, but a much smaller tighter package). Wasabi also performed coding work for a number of major companies in the embedded space. I’m not sure what the expansion is for, but if anyone knows it would be great to hear what is going on!

757labs presents : D-Link DKVM-8E Console Password Reset

by Ethan on Apr.15, 2008, under 757labs

Hello everyone,

I finally got around to writing up a quick release for 757labs.com late last night. I’ve been sitting on this one for a few months. D-Link (DLink?) doesn’t publish the information to reset the password on their DKVM-8E KVM switches. Well, I’m publishing it after poking around one and figuring it out. Most of the chips outside of standards are scrubbed (they grind off the top of the chip so you can’t read the part numbers).

Pretty simple, but will most likely be real useful. The service charge to have them reset it is a couple of Bennigan’s dinners. The instructions are HERE.

It is unknown if this will work on the D-Link DKVM-16E 16 port model.

HRGeeks Meeting – April 10th, 2007

by Ethan on Apr.13, 2008, under HRGeeks Meeting

Hello everyone,

Last Thursday’s HRGeeks meeting was a success! Great to see a good number of new people at the meeting. We saw new students from ODU & TCC, along with some professionals that were in town. On top of this there were other’s who I didn’t recognize as well but didn’t get a chance to talk to them. I don’t think it set a record in regards to attendance, but I could be wrong. I believe the count hit around 22 or 23. Others can fill in the details in the comments :-)
There has been a slight bit of talk about starting a 2nd HRGeeks meeting, that will be specific to accomplishments and projects in progress. The dinner night will of course continue, but the 2nd night is to focus on projects that are in the pipeline. Please feel free to comment on this!

I’m also pondering designs for the first T-Shirt. If there are any suggestions, feel free to comment. I will probably doodle a few in Adobe Illustrator and post links to PDF or GIF images on the mailing list. We can go for the peer review again (like what was done with the stickers).

Release: Honda Accord Steering Wheel Controls to Pioneer Aftermarket Stereo (no adaptor required)

by Ethan on Mar.19, 2008, under 757labs

A few weeks ago I completed a pretty simple hack to directly control Pioneer after market stereos with the steering wheel controls of my Honda Accord (98 to 02 should apply). I wrote it up and posted it over at www.757labs.com. It should work with Sony decks as well (different resistor values). Do not know about Alpine, Clarion or other makes.

I’ve got another release coming soon as well.Enjoy!
