Overlijdensbericht Swie Gwan Tan Eindhovens Dagblad; 20160711
Last friday, my good friend Swie Gwan Tan suddenly passed away. Like most good friends, we didn’t see each other often enough, but when we did it always was like we had last seen each other the day before.
We first met ages ago at early BorCon and EKON conferences: I remember them: Gwan, a little chine guy and a really really tall guy (Edwin) on many conferences. It didn’t take long before we chatted and became friends. It must have been the mid 199os, not even sure which year.
Was it the way he was a people person and both Edwin and me very technical? Or he deep into the database side of things and Edwin/me on the Delphi (and later .NET) side? Or were it the long (usually nights) of discussing all sorts of topics (way beyond software development) with some moderate alcohol intake?
I’m still not sure why. These things happen. The beauty of friendships.
Of course I knew Gwan was ill. More than a decade ago walking became more difficult because of a progressive muscle disease that would not affect his heart. Over time he got bound to a wheel-chair. Somewhere in-between he got a heart condition too.
Gwan stayed imperturbable and optimistic. He was enjoying watching sports (Gwan was – despite living near Eindhoven – a huge fan of AJAX, Edwin of Feyenoord, I didn’t care about soccer at all: we had so much fun!) current affairs and movies keeping in touch with so many people. Irregularly he even managed to visit both German and soccer matches. It was so good to see how he enjoyed those. He was also a great family guy: organising events was his thing. His siblings, nephews and nieces always had a great time when meeting him. And then there were the yearly summer BBQ events in the party: awesome!
So it was only natural that – after we started cooperating with better office Germany – Gwan would organise the Dutch “Knowledge Days” events and the technical guys (usually Edwin and me from the Dutch side and Daniel Magin from better office Germany) would present the sessions.
When better office Germany got in trouble (long story) Gwan asked if I could financially help him to take a stake so at least the German personnel could be payed. We did, lost financially but earned life long friendships (and learned a thing or two on how banks operate).
One of the things with Gwan was that there never was a dull moment and always an opportunity to learn. Even from mistakes. Of course we had words once every now and then. But never a really big fight. I guess that’s part of a good friendship.
Another thing was the combination of being modest about himself and proud about others. For example he always proudly named one of his sisters” my little sister” as he was so fond of what she accomplished.
I vividly remember spring 2009 when – right after the Delphi Live 2009 conference – some USA friends, Edwin and me organised a surprise 50th birthday dinner party for Gwan. Despite his condition, Gwan was really happy that he made it to the conference. So having a party like that was a total blast.
He attended way more conferences and seminars than I did, especially an Germany. Unlike me, Gwan loved driving long distance. So he attended many Firebird, Delphi-Tage and other events I didn’t make it to. When I was at events, I could always spot Gwan with lots of people around him. usually near a bar (:
Around the time Gwan’s mom died about 3.5 months ago he spent some time in hospital to treat the edema that came with his muscle condition. It took a while, but the medicines worked, he attended the funeral and moved to an apartment with facilities for disabled and direct access to care.
Last week he had was hospitalised and his conditions worsened faster than anyone expected. Friday morning he quietly passed away. No more pain. No more sorrow.
Sadly we are left behind, but also pleased that his ordeal is over.
A dear, generous, modest and positive friend is gone.
If you want to attend the funeral service, please let me know so I can inform the family of an attendance estimate.
The funeral service will be held on Thursday morning July 14 at 11:30 at this location (they begin 11:30 sharp, be early!):
Onze Lieve Vrouw Presentatiekerk AalstEindhovenseweg 63
5582 HP Aalst -Waalre
The NetherlandsPhone: +31 40 221 22 85 (preferably between 10:00 and 12:00)
The above catholic church is easy to find as it is right in the center of Aalst-Waalre (see the church icon on the map). They welcome everyone: non-catholics and atheist are equally welcome.
There are parking spots nearby on the south side of “de Leesakker” (right behind Greek restaurant Olympia) or in the street next to Restaurant Lugar (for both, see the P markings on the map).
To stay: look for Hotels near Aalst-Waalre. I can recommend the Van der Valk Hotel Eindhoven as Gwan and I have organised some workshops and seminars there.

Still relevant after a few years: DEFCON 17: More Tricks For Defeating SSL – YouTube.
I landed there after trying to find out how to verify the Internic root server file is actually pubished by Internic via authentication – Ways to sign gpg public key so it is trusted? – Information Security Stack Exchange.
I remember reading his “if you have to perform any cryptographic operation before verifying the MAC on a message you’ve received, it will somehow inevitably lead to doom” post (Moxie Marlinspike >> Blog >> The Cryptographic Doom Principle), but never noticed his videos.
It is still relevant as there are lots of implementations still vulnerable to these kinds of attacks.
Many more of his blog entries are interesting as well:

In the past the Sysinternals Suite used to have only a few 64-bit versions of their tools, but recently they added many more.
The documentation doesn’t reflect this yet, but the online versions do:
These are 64-bit:

I’m not yet sure what the exact cause is, but at irregular intervals when clicking on Google Plus links, they show as “403. That’s an error.”.
They appear both when I have multiple WAN connections or a single WAN connection, which leads me to suspect that G+ doesn’t cope well when
In a future post, I will explain how I created the workaround, but here it is:
Basically it translates links
The latter was the original link I clicked in the first place. The former what G+ comes up with.
After a while, G+ comes back to its senses and allows the latter links again, so the page allows you to parse the former then put them in a list like this:
One decoded URL per list-item.

Multihoming without BGP with home routers and Linux. Need to apply this on OpenSuSE one day: HOWTO: Multirouting with Linux : Luke Cyca Dot Calm.
Basically it does Multirouting of Sessions using NAT, routing tables, rules, removal of the default routing and adding a round robin routing, fixing DNS, adding more rules and creating a failover script.
In case it ever goes offline: the WayBack Machine link.
Some more background research links:

It took James Newman more than one and a half years of actually building progress and more than that (thinking about it started in 2011) for designing his own Megaprocessor using transistors.
For like EUR 50000 and a lot of “learning opportunities” he built himself a room full of visual computing: you can see the LEDs on all the PCB boards indicating exactly what’s going on (heck: he even made the RAM visualise an actual tetris implementation).
All for the sake of understanding transistors and discrete logic after which things got out of hand.
Hopefully a tech museum will buy this.
His site as a truckload of information, for instance the Source: Megaprocessor – FAQ: good/bad/ugly linking to lots of technical details and decisions made (like throwing out surface mount components but using lead based solder or having dual output logic).
There’s a lot of video too (like Megaprocessor – How ?) but – especially these weeks – the downloading is slow, to it’s faster and easier to watch his Youtube playlists:
They are currently 6 videos each, but he has uploaded more videos and is working on more.
Finally, James even built an assembler for this 16-bit processor. How cool is that!

One day I’m going to need ResourceHacker as it has an -extract option to extract resources.
The above link even has a batch file that can server as a start automating that process:
@echo off set file="GeneSys" if exist %file%.rc del %file%.rc ResHacker.exe -extract %file%.res, %file%.rc, Bitmap,, ResHacker.exe -extract %file%.res, temp.rc, Icon,, type temp.rc >>%file%.rc ResHacker.exe -extract %file%.res, temp.rc, Dialog,, type temp.rc >>%file%.rc ResHacker.exe -extract %file%.res, temp.rc, Menu,, type temp.rc >>%file%.rc ResHacker.exe -extract %file%.res, temp.rc, StringTable,, type temp.rc >>%file%.rc ResHacker.exe -extract %file%.res, temp.rc, Accelerators,, type temp.rc >>%file%.rc ResHacker.exe -extract %file%.res, temp.rc, VersionInfo,, type temp.rc >>%file%.rc del temp.rcI save it as
extract.batand a commandline usage:extract GeneSyswill extract all the resources fromGeneSys.res

PS: as the MASM forum sometimes nags with logins, I saved the above page in the wayback machine.
I’ve verified that [WayBack] ResourceHacker and the downloads ([WayBack] installer and [WayBack] portable) are there too.
