Replacing backslashes with sed
One needs a lot of backslashed in order to replace a backslash in sed. If you want to replace\ with X in a file you have to write:
sed s/\\\\/X/g filename

Binding helma to one ip address
If you want to bind helma’s internal jetty to a certain ip address instead of listening to 0.0.0.0, you have to abuse the HTTP_PORT setting in the start.sh file:
HTTP_PORT=192.168.1.111:8080

Internet, endlich.
Endlich gibts Internet in der neuen Wohnung, richtig viel davon, 16Mbits/s. Das Default-Passwort für den Tele2 Router, das nur in irgendwo in irgendeiner faq steht, ist admin im übrigen.

Decode html encoded characters via google.
If you have to decode html character encodings manually every now an then you can look them up somewhere, or use a decent editor. Or you can simply put the encoded char into a google searchbox and you will (most probably) get a Your search - character - did not match any documents page. Entering „ for example yields Your search – „ – did not match any documents.

short summary of the attended talks worth mentioning at the 24c3, day 3
An ex mi5 officer talked about how it is (or was in the 90ties) to work as a spy for her majesty. Someday, as the secret service supported an attack against Gaddafi where civilians died she decided to blow the whistle and had to go into hiding, as her fellow spooks where not too amused about that (suprise, suprise). In her talk she criticised how the secret services work in general, and that there is a problem how to control them. Interesting story. heise online has a longer (german) summary here.
monochrom did a great puppet show!
The annual hacker jeopardy was fantastic, just like the years before. not too much had changed: the x-server of the game computer was configured on stage, just like the last modifications of the ancient (?) perl-tk game software, and some questions were ridiculous like always (‘partition type code of hfs on intel’ – ‘what is 0xaf?’ or ‘ircs minus imaps’ – ‘what is tcpmux?’). Last years winner Fefe was defeated, the new champion won an OpenBSD bathrobe (!).
Needless to say, rist beat me on our personal scoreboard, but it was close, 8400 to 7700.

day 2 at the 24c3
yesterday’s highlight, at least from the entertaining point of view, was DIY Survival by the great Bre Pettis (the video which is currently on his website is Johannes Grenzfurthner going crazy btw).
another talk , by FX, showed some ideas how to play with barcodes… someone really should take a look at those oebb online tickets some day…. :) heise online has a summary here
the rule 34 contest could not fulfil the high expectations and was a bit… well…

hacking dna
Drew Endy: programming dna
just heard an amazing talk by Drew Endy from MIT about genetic reverse engineering. think about DNA as nature’s ‘machine language’ and build a ‘language’ stack on top, just like in software engineering.
