Here is a simple, 10$ DIY case mod for PS3 slim. It will lower PS3 temperature, make system quieter and prolong its lifespan.
It took me about an hour to complete this modification.

Today I received a Skype update that started to show advertisements in chat windows.
This was unacceptable for me, so I decided to downgrade Skype to latest ad-free version, which seems to be 6.9.0.106.
You can download old Skype version without ads from here:
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi
Mirror:
http://mirror.szepe.net/software/SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi
To prevent Skype from updating automatically go to:
Tools -> Options… -> Advanced -> Automatic updates and click “Turn off automatic updates’.
Cisco IOS Remote Access and Site to Site VPN on one router
Simultaneous use of Remote Access VPN and Site-to-Site VPN has a few caveats.
Important configuration lines:
1. crypto isakmp key Pr3sh4r3DKEY address 89.123.45.6 no-xauth
Make sure to include no-xauth for Site-to-Site VPN peer.
2. crypto map VPNMAP 65535 ipsec-isakmp dynamic DYNMAP
Dynamic map should be last in crypto map assigned to external interface. You may use 65535 here at is is maximum supported number.
Example of Cisco IOS configuration with multiple VPN connections on one router:
[code]
crypto isakmp policy 1
encr aes 256
authentication pre-share
group 2
crypto isakmp key Pr3sh4r3DKEY address 89.123.45.6 no-xauth
crypto isakmp client configuration group REMOTEGROUP

PHP exec system calls not working in Debian 6
After migrating Current website to Debian 6, PHP calls exec and system stopped working.
The reason for it is debian package dash which modifies behaviour of system default shell:
[code]
# ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Dec 9 20:25 /bin/sh -> dash
[/code]
To revert this this behaviour to standard, execute
[code]
# dpkg-reconfigure dash
[/code]
Select “No” and default shell will be changed to standard bash.
You can check it with following command:
[code]
# ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Dec 9 20:26 /bin/sh -> bash
[/code]
