Getting a fresh root hint file on SUSE 12.x
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/07/31
Wrote a small script that goes into my monthly crontab.
It gets ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.cache into /var/lib/named/named.cache.new, and logs when you need to copy it over into /var/lib/named/root.hint

Conversion between absolute and relative paths in Delphi – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/07/30
A while ago, I needed routines to work with absolute and relative paths on Windows.
These links were very useful:
- The Delphi TPath.IsDriveRooted function (I think it was introduced in Delphi 2010) serves as a IsPathAbsolute function
- Conversion between absolute and relative paths in Delphi – Stack Overflow showing how to use the Windows API functions PathRelativePathTo and PathCanonicalize functions declared in the ShLwApi unit to create AbsToRel and RelToAbs functions.
Thanks Andreas Rejbrand and David Heffernan for the last two!

Tunngle – P2P VPN, now would this work over plain HTTP?
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/07/29
On my research list: Tunngle – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
I hope it works over HTTP, and does not require something like Your Freedom – Bypass firewalls and proxies, stay anonymous.
