I have three computers: MacBook Pro, Netbook and a PC. They all have their own data. It would be very nice if I had all my files on just one location (e.g. my server). The only problem is: how do I access these files in a secure way. SSH is an option, but does not quite fit my needs. The solution: NFS over a VPN. NFS fulfilled all my needs, but I do not want to open NFS to whole world through my router.
A VPN, gives me access to my home network and makes it possible for me to access all my files in a secure way. My server (an Asus EEE Box) runs Ubuntu Server, and there is a Linux version of OpenVPN! I thought installing OpenVPN should not be that hard; I just need to find the right tutorial.

As posted here I recently bought a Samsung NC10. It comes with Windows XP preinstalled, but I liked to have Kubuntu 8.10 installed as well. The Samsung NC10 is equipped with a 160GB harddisk so there is plenty of space (at least for me). So I started to figure out how I could install Kubuntu 8.10 on a netbook with no cd- nor dvd-drive. In this post I describe how I managed to solve these problems.

I am using voipbusterpro as my default voip provider. They offer a SIP service which makes it possible to call with any SIP device (both soft- and hardware) you want. Recently I bought a Nokia E51 which has wifi. I wanted to make SIP phone calls over any arbitrary wifi connections with my voipbusterpro account. The only problem was setting the right settings. After a long period of trial and error I figured out the right settings.
This post shows a brief tutorial about the settings needed to setup your Nokia E51 with a Betamax account. Betamax uses a tremendous amount of different names like: 12Voip, BudgetSIP, Calleasy, DarmowyTelefon, Dialnow, Freecall, Hungarytopup, Internetcalls, Intervoip, JustVoip, LeVoip, LowRateVoip, NetAppel.fr, Nonoh, SmsListo, SparVoip, VoipBuster, VoipBusterPro, VoipCheap, VoipDiscount, Voiphit, VoipRaider, VoipStunt, VoipWise and WebCallDirect…
