If you really, really, really want to draw attention to your just published Internet Draft you may consider walking around with this T-Shirt.

(And if there are 5 people commenting that they would buy such shirt I’ll put the design in the IETF store at Cafepress.)

DNSSEC Root Key declaration

olaf — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 08:29:42 +0000

On 16 June 2010 around 21:20 UTC I witnessed a key generation procedure by which a DNSSEC Key Signing Key for signing the DNS root has been created.

The representation of this key in the DS RR format is as follows:

. IN DS 19036 8 2 49AAC11D7B6F6446702E54A1607371607A1A41855200FD2CE1CDDE32F24E8FB5

The hash of this DS RR represented as a biometric wordlist reads:

deckhand pedigree snapline breakaway kickoff hemisphere flytrap detergent guidance coherence eating outfielder facial hurricane hamlet fortitude keyboard Bradbury cranky leprosy Dupont adroitness willow Chicago tempest sandalwood tactics component uproot distortion payday positive

The Korg Poly 800

olaf — Thu, 13 May 2010 16:36:31 +0000

I recently plugged in the old KORG Poly800. One of the early mass produced polyphonic Synths.

Unfortunately the batteries had drained, and the sound settings were completely gone. Now it is possible to restore the sound settings from the 20 year old cassette tape, if you a) would be able to find the original tape, and b) would have a cassette player. Unfortunately I have neither.

There are two ways you can go about this. Either you can restore all original sound settings manually from the documentation (pdf here) or you can download a “wav” file with the original program from the POLY800 cassette. Connecting the Poly800 to your computer and fiddling a bit with the output level took me about 5 minutes.
